I'm looking to buy a gaming laptop for around $1,200.

I was hoping you guys can give me a briefing of each brand because as I do not have much knowledge myself (I have heard good things about Sager/Clevo and MSI though).

Feel feel to add in more brands if I missed some.
 
The weight and battery life are a symptom of the power being used and the power being dissipated. They overdesign the heat sinks which is why they are so heavy..... it's also why they don't suffer in the same way that MSI/ Asus do when you upgrade the CPU and GFX a few notches above the base model.
 
fair enough. battery makes total sense. I know the heatsink has some weight to it and I love the fact that I CAN upgrade the CPU, graphics card and so many other things on it. I'm not certain if asus/msi have this same type of "future-proofing"... which is also something the OP might want to consider.
