Tell you a small story, "gaming" laptops sold in lebanon (most of them) are rippoffs. Having an i7 with an intel gma is not gaming, having a dedicated gpu doesnot mean its gaming too. Having 1g dedicated or up to 3g dedicated gpu is also NOT gaming. What matter is the gpu itself, and you have to pick them up wisely. I prefare to have an i3 as a cpu and a good dedicated gpu, you should be aiming at gt540/gt630(28nm but not kepler)/gt460/gt560(order fom low to high).
I suggest reading alittle bit more about the whole "gaming laptop" first but we can sure help/guide you.
My suggest would definitly be a msi or asus gaming laptop as they come in alot of variants and have awesome support and are cool. In anycase check with ROG store or give the owner a pm tarekelkhaledi and see what he can offer.
All gpus mentioned above support all games, but depending on the size/resolution of the laptop, games will range from playable at high settings at max res, or sacraficing alittle bit of quality/res to play for butter-smooth gameplay.
We can help you more if u state what games do you play/wish to play, and wht size/resolution do you prefere.

I'd say wait about a month, by then(hopefully) there will be new laptops with ivy Bridge processors and Nvidia GT 640, GT 650m, even GTX 660m that hopefully should be somewhere in the $1,200-$1,400 range
also it's possible AMD will release new 28nm GPUs for Laptops soon

sadly the above metioned price is for the US, not here. In anycase, ib will not give ALOT more performance, but it sure is a power saver. Now OP, there is a acer/lenovo/msi/asu laptop with gt640, which is the same as a gtx 460m, and it is within your price range.
Try to find or better yet order a laptop with a i5 or i7 accompanied with this gt640.
Now one thing about gt6xx series in laptops, ALL are 28nm, but not all are KEPLER. So becareful what you pick. So far only gt640 is kepler arch, others are fermi AKA gtx 5xx series on the desktop.
OP, i did a small research for you, i think most of these laptops will fit into ur price range once you order them from ROG store, as he is the only guy i know that can do such orders. Or find something similar @ pcandparts or someone around. DONOT buy from virgin or others, you will b ripped with high prices and old/slow laptops.

All are 1336x900, except for the asus one, which shows duo to its higher price tag,

If you want to do some serious gaming get a desktop. In Lebanon it's hard to find a gaming laptop and if you did it'll be too expensive and definitely not the best. Just read Beej signature :D
If you already have a working laptop that can get your work done, don't buy a new one for gaming. Keep the old one for mobility/work and get a desktop for gaming.

Dear Imadz, as Beej said a Gaming Notebook is Defined by it's Gpu Power and not by how many Gig's thus, a truly Gaming Notebook packed a Mid-Range Gpu Powah 560Ti land somewhere between 1700$ / 1800$.
Now if want a "Monster Notebook" an FPS Gpu Powah Frenzy will be costly were talking nothing less than 2K+ which i don't recommend since a Year Later that Notebook Price fall into a deep dive & that hurt's badly.
Concerning price range laptop, PM me so we can work this out ;).
Note: don't Compare any ASUS Notebook to any other Brands available in the Market since when it comes to Notebooks it's all "Reliability, Efficiency, Durability & Endurance".
ASUS & MSI are doing a real great job in here since they don't share any Design Characteristic / Quality Build Brands in other words they Manufacture them from Scratch in their Labs.

sorry for the late reply ! i won't pay over 1300$ for a laptop so i can't buy an asus gaming laptop .
i found a lenovo IdeaPad Y570 (08622KU) Intel Core i7 2630QM(2.00GHz) 15.6" 8GB Memory DDR3 1333mhz 750GB HDD 5400rpm DVD R/RW NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M 1Gb dedicated. i think it's pretty good. it's only 1220$.
i really appreciate your replies thank you so much.

Lenovo is formally known as IBM so no doubts about your purchased , you can't go wrong with Lenovo or Asus.
For $1300, you can build a gaming PC AND buy a regular laptop. The PC will smoke a gaming laptop and you'll still have a laptop for regular use.
I am not sure if that is something you might consider, but dropping $1300 on a "gaming laptop" is too much in my opinion.

If he gets a net-book for example which costs about 300$ and is a bare minimum when buying a laptop , he will have only 1000$ for the case, motherboard, ram HDD , GPU , CPU , DVD RW , LED screan , UPS ...ect.. so a 1000$ budget is not good enough for a decent gaming desktop PC.Xsever wroteFor $1300, you can build a gaming PC AND buy a regular laptop.

So whether he invests 1300$ on a laptop or 1000$ on a desktop and 300$ for a net-book , it will be more bang for the buck if he gets a notebook/semi-gaming notebook instead. Also the notebook which he has chosen seems good enough for gaming with a GT555M , even though I would recommend waiting for the 6xx series, it's still pretty good.
Mate who said that there's no ASUS laptop for 1300$ or even less?? i can get you one for 900$ & it can run games smoothly thus, maintaining your FPS on a playable level on any game.
i know you'll argue about the Processing powah, remember 1 thing the Mobility "i7 comes in 2 Cores 4Threads" that means there's no advantage yet it's pointless to pay anything above 1K for a Notebook.
concerning the ASUS Models in the 850$ / 900$ Price Range are as followed:
1- ASUS A53Z-ES61 - AMD A6-3420M(1.5GHz) - 15.6" - 4GB Memory DDR3 - 500GB HDD 5400rpm - DVDrw - AMD Radeon HD 6520G
2- ASUS A53TA-EH61 - AMD A6-3400M(1.4GHz) - 15.6" - 4GB Memory DDR3 - 500GB HDD 7200rpm - DVDrw - AMD Radeon HD 6520G
Concerning the Desktop part, well i don't prefer giving any "Desktop" a price range since once we start the Build we don't know how it will ends up ;).
Your welcome mate.

Maintaining FPS on a playable level at what level of detail? I don't think the OP just wants to run those games. I think he would like to jack up the level of detail. Now I know this is difficult with mid-range laptops sometimes, but nevertheless we should provide him with insight on how "playable" games are.tarekelkhaledi wroteMate who said that there's no ASUS laptop for 1300$ or even less?? i can get you one for 900$ & it can run games smoothly thus, maintaining your FPS on a playable level on any game.
What does that mean? I didn't get it.i know you'll argue about the Processing powah, remember 1 thing the Mobility "i7 comes in 2 Cores 4Threads" that means there's no advantage yet it's pointless to pay anything above 1K for a Notebook.
As you can see, there's quite a huge gap between the OP's budget ($1300) and the ASUS laptops on offer below $1300 ($850-900). I am sure those extra $400 he's willing to pay would get him a HUGE upgrade in terms of specs. A dual core Sandy Bridge Intel CPU (Core i3 / i5 / i7 2xxx) at a good clockspeed and a midrange mobility GPU.concerning the ASUS Models in the 850$ / 900$ Price Range are as followed:
1- ASUS A53Z-ES61 - AMD A6-3420M(1.5GHz) - 15.6" - 4GB Memory DDR3 - 500GB HDD 5400rpm - DVDrw - AMD Radeon HD 6520G

Ramzi mate, Jacking up the Level of Details means a 560m and above, we all know that Mobility Based Gpu's are Underclocked thus, all of them struggles on High Resolutions "1920 x 1080" I'm talking about the Average FPS in here which lies between the 25 / 30FPS those are the Playable Levels on any game.
in other words 540m, 550m, 555m, 560m are almost identical only fractions separate them but even those fractions aren't noticeable in real world performance but they does in real world budget ;).
Concerning the i7 Mobility Part, well let's face it lot's of people are mistaken when they thought that these Chips are Relatively Similar to their Desktops Counterparts well they don't, i7 Mobility comes as "2 Cores 4 Threads Chips" that means they are relatively similar to the 2 Cores 2 Threads Chips...!!! one thing distinguishes Mobility Gaming Platforms from their other counterparts is the "Gpu" in other words you can get an i3 or AMD's APU Chips with a Mid Range Dedicated Gpu thus, you still can run any game.
Concerning the Gap, well the above mentioned ASUS APU models are posted due to what "Imadz" said above |i won't pay over 1300$ for a laptop so i can't buy an asus gaming laptop| that means there's lot's of ASUS Notebook's with Mid Range Gpu's under the 1000$ Range.
Regards.

Hey guys, I have the Asus N56VZ, bought it for 1168$ in the emirates, so I don't know what the price here will be. But its a great laptop, great battery life. I'm really happy with it. Playing Far Cry 3 in high graphics without lag. and I can play any game I want on it. (it has a i7 3610QM 2.30Ghz can go up to 3.3Ghz, Nvidia 650M 2GB, 8Gb ram, 1TB HDD@7200RMP I think, 15.6", B&O speakers, full size keyboard, and looks like a mac)
Asus should prepare to get sued by Appleriqmarmes wroteHey guys, I have the Asus N56VZ, ......... and looks like a mac)
also the speakers are Bang & Olufsen?
Once, Apple sued Amazon for naming their store "App Store" and Amazon was like "NO ONE CARES!" and Apple just shut up about it :P
Yup, and I have a portable Bass (SonicMaster) for the low frequencies so the sound from the laptop is really nice.Gamer wroteAsus should prepare to get sued by Appleriqmarmes wroteHey guys, I have the Asus N56VZ, ......... and looks like a mac)
