Knowing what exactly you need the laptop for would help immensely. I am in the same boat, but I need mine for my Game Design course in College, so there are different things I would need as apposed to someone wanting a laptop for purely gaming, per se.

Wow and using Internet is all

What do you want out of your notebook? Gaming? Portability? Designwork? Media?
Also, tossing this over to Build Help.

The only thing I would do portability wise is carry it (carefully) up and down steps in my house

Here is what I would recommend, which of course you can still customize to your preferences. The total w/ shipping reaches your $1200 budget.
