looking for a laptop with good performance and a decent video card under 1000$?

best gaming pc reviews 2012 image

John R

Basically I'm in the market for a laptop but not too knowledgeable about them.

I want to get the most I can for my money. I'm not a huge gamer, but a decent video card so I can run games like team fortress 2, maybe better quality games.

basically I just want the best i can get for under 1,000$.

any help at all from people who know is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Answer
For around $1000, I would suggest Lenovo Ideapad Y570 - http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Ideapad-08626KU-15-6-Inch-Laptop/dp/B006M9ZVXE/ref=sr_1_28?m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=basebal-20&s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1328919909&sr=1-28
It's got 2nd generation i7 processor, 8GB RAM, 750GB hard drive and NVIDIA Geforce GT555M Discrete Graphics card
Here's review with video - http://www.laptopreviews.com/lenovo-ideapad-y570-first-look-and-video-2012-02

It will play Team Fortress on highest settings. Plus, Skyrim, Crysis 2, BF3, Farcry 2 and all the latest games. Search for GT555M graphics card on YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=GT555M

Anybody know headphones that are good for gaming and music?

But it has to have a pull out microphone. I tried ps3 headphones like this where u can pull the mic out. But I don't like it cause the headphones are uncomfortably big so here's the kind I want

-pull out mic
-small
-comfortable
-under 200
-good with iPod

Answer
headsets (those headphones with mics) are mostly all horrible.

this will be helpful. seriously read the entire thing if you can, it has improved my gaming experience tremendously. (both for immersion and competitive play)

my suggestion is buy a cheap clip on mic (for like 5 bucks), the audio technica ad700, and the astro mixamp, which utilizes dolby headphones(converts 5.1+ channels into stereo specifically for headphones).These three should cost just a little over 200 combined. it will sound like the video on the link i provided at the 1:08 minute marker.
Reviews of headphones are also on that page. If you're interested in other headphones, make sure you get one with a good soundstage (like the audio technica ad700) to improve your gaming exprience.

if you really like headsets, then this is the best i can think of.

theres a review on the first link i provided. You could get the lesser models since its 200ish.
