You definitely won't get the best price/performance ratio at Best Buy, your best bet is online.

I would suggest one of these at your budget:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230174 quad core i7, gtx 560M, although is recertified and 1600x900 res

http://www.logicbuy.com/deals/hp-envy-17-laptop/19986.aspx dual core i5, radeon HD 6850, 1920x1080 resolution.

im not sure whether or not these would be able to run sc2 on highest with 30+ fps throughout, but these, for the most part, offer the best price/performance at this budget.

you won't see many benefits from the quad core i7 if your primary usage is sc2.

EDIT: it's also fairly difficult to find a low capacity hard drive in a $1000 laptop.

Hey I am in a pretty similar situation and was wondering anyone's opinion on the Asus G53Jw as a gaming and school laptop.

If you're in a similar predicament as the OP and cannot purchase a netbook and a desktop, it's a decent choice. however, the battery life on it would probably be subpar, and it's on the first gen intel processors, when you should be looking for one with a 2nd gen processor.

I guess what I'm mainly looking for is a comp that can balance between gaming at a low-medium level, and is cheap.

You should either pm a mod to move this topic to the Tech Support board or repost it there:

You probably should search for a similar topic first though although there may not be any that are recent.

I happen to have a Alienware M14X ( Thank you Dr. Pepper Ultimate Gaming House ) and I have to say that it is a pretty nice computer, if a little bit expensive. It won't play SC2 on max settings but it should work on high. The Alienware is what I would suggest.

I still believe that Fusion is what you should always get for midbudget gaming laptops.
