I decided now was a good time to get a new laptop since the deals are on and my laptop has been having many problems, so I went with this deal.

Woot! I made the decision faster than I feel comfortable with, but I think it looks like a pretty good bang-for-your-buck deal. I am hoping that that GeForce GT 555M graphics card with the i7 processor will help boost my performance enough that I can play some games my old laptop couldn't handle.

Oh man. I shouldn't have bought an AMD A-series in the summer. These look awesome.

I have been awaiting dark friday/cyber Monday with regard to several weeks to buy a Laptop able to operating modern video games from reduced in order to mid detail. The shop advertisements and internet offers are incredibly overwhelming and that i don't know where to look to get want, and when i should buy. In the event that any kind of dark friday/cyber monday deal expert could find me a great deal or even how to locate what i'm looking for i would be really grateful.

Generally speaking, the important component for gaming will be the graphics card. Most hardware sites focus on desktop GPUs. The best resource I know of to check laptop card performance is Notebook Check's GPU list. Ideally you'd want a card that they label a Class 2 (or better).

Past that it would depend on what else you're prioritizing. Though, of course, those deals would be over with now, so if you're deal hunting you might need to wait until after Christmas.
