    $2000- MSI GT70 2OD-064US with Intel Haswell Core i7-4700MQ (2.4~3.4GHz), GTX780M, 12GB DDR3 1600mhz RAM, and 1TB HDD. Great laptop, but you can get even more out of it with its 15.6inch counterpart below.

    MSI GT60 2OD-026US (15.6inch, but with more goodies. I don't mind the 15.6in screen for gaming, its perfect) with Intel Haswell Core i7-4700MQ (2.4~3.4GHz), GTX780M, 16GB DDR3 1600mhz RAM, and 128GB mSATA SSD + 1TB HDD.
    It can run anything you throw at it with max settings and still have good fps (at least 45+ in any game, i get around 70fps ultra settings in BF3). The only problem with MSI is that they do a bad thermal paste job, so if you order online, get the IC Diamond compound for thermal paste. On GenTechPC, its free.

    Clevo is another great option. I don't have much personal experience with Sager/Clevo, but I've heard nothing but greatness about them. You can get the Clevo P177SM (17.3inch) with the same specs as above for $2000 as well, but you won't get some of the other goodies MSI offers. MSI has a better keyboard, better sound quality, a better ethernet controller, and better wifi card. I think it also has a better screen- not 100% sure on that one.

    You can't go wrong with either choice!
    Hope this helps, good luck choosing!

    alright, well i do agree with the msi but razerblade is a very thin computer and insanely powerful as said. the team really works on the 14' of it. now if this gaming portable pc isn't your type, then you should be looking at this laptop:

    The Alienware M11x notebook is an 11.6" portable gaming notebook with up to an Intel Core i7 processor and Nvidia dedicated graphics. The Alienware M11x is the most portable gaming laptop on the planet, or universe for that matter! Why use a gaming notebook for school? Because it is fully capable of handling any sorftware you need, it's relatively small and lightweight, and has a great LED backlit keyboard for typing in dark classrooms or dorms.

    I was for Alienware when it was Alienware based out of Miami, This was back in the mid to late 90's... Now that it is Dell forget it.. If you want a Boutique then Origin PC (original founders of Alienware) or the like.
