Try those Clevo/Sager by XoticPC. For 1100 you get a GTX 770M, which is not bad at all if you want to do gaming and stuff. Those laptops are also very easy to disassemble for replacing/upgrading hardware or just cleaning. The only problem is they don't have backlit keyboards.

I got to the part where I have to remove the keyboard. I don't know if it's the same for you guys but it's really hard for me to remove the damn thing. Is there a way to crack that baby open easily? I gave up on the bezel removal and put back the keyboard and everything. Then the freaking laptop just won't boot. I turned it on and there was just black screen. At the end I had to bring it to a service to get it fixed. Turns out there's a cable beneath the keyboard that I didn't successfully connect back. Could someone please explain those parts with a bit more details? I really want to reapply the paste and also give a good clean to the fan. Thanks.

I saw a post from this thread saying that the GTX 660M 1GHz edition BIOS really heats up his laptop and causes problems after a long time of use. Could anyone please confirm that? And is it really worth it to go for the faster clock?
