Now that I have a very powerful desktop, I do not need a very powerful laptop in terms of gaming power. I really don't have a strict budget, but I was thinking <$1000 Features that i would like: +mid-range gaming performance (can run most indie games very well) +lightweight (i dont really know...

Tony, do you live in the US? Whether you do or not, where did you find the Trigger-Z available for purchase? because I still can't seem to find it anywhere online.

I'm going looking to buy a keyboard, and these two are currently my top choices: Corsair K70, Max Keyboard Nighthawk-X8. I also was looking at the CM Storm Trigger (or the new trigger-z coming out supposedly very soon in the US), but I cannot find it available with Cherry MX Brown switches...
