Help me build a laptop
Lets say my budget is $1500. What will I need in my laptop for it to be extremely fast, have a good battery life, be able to run most games, and yet still be sleek enough for me to carry to and from school (and to be used for school ofc). Any tips are accepted!

[quote=NotButts]Did you even read the freaking OP? Oh my god you can't be serious right now.[/quote]
Explain what I did wrong, as opposed to whining pointlessly.
OP stated that they can spend up to $1.5k on a laptop.
They also stated that they want to play most games, but later said "MS and league". These aren't very demanding games. You don't need a thousand dollar setup to play them efficiently.
It would seem that OP needs to be more specific. [b]What games are you going to play? Be specific[/b]. Do you want to be able to run them at very high settings? Do you care about graphics at all? Are you going to use any other programs?
You mentioned that you're going to be taking the laptop to and from school. You may want to get a laptop that has a stronger 'case', anodized aluminum, perhaps. Plastic is durable, but carrying a laptop around in your backpack every day of the school-year will take its toll on it (speaking from experience.) Or, disregard all of that and get a backpack/bag meant for carrying a laptop around.
EDIT: I accidentally an entire sentence.
@t0ky0mike You aren't answering AsianPeople's comment. Just because your good doesn't mean the options are unlimited. AsianPeople is right in saying that the options ARE limited as you need parts that are compatible with eachother. Even more so in a laptop than in a desktop.

The options are much too limited.. Besides, OP is looking to [b]buy[/b], not [b]build[/b].
OT:if you're only going to be playing MS and LoL, an integrated graphics card would be enough (Ideally using an intel processor with the HD4000.)
You could get something powerful enough for around $300~$500.
you cant build a laptop
@Iamprophet: oh i thought it was the opposite, my bad
1500 is enough to buy a good gaming PC so its more than enough for a laptop
[quote=Iamprophet]$1500? and you want to run most games? like what games ? top of the line games like BF3 or games that require nothing like WOW or guild wars or maplestory
A gaming comp will be a little thicker and it will weigh 8+ pounds unless you plan to get a small one like 11 or 14 inch screen.[/]
Well Id say not the top of the line, simple ones like ms or LoL.
There's tons of good gaming laptops that are affordable with your budget.
Although, I still suggest you build a desktop instead; it will always be cheaper and yield better results- than buying/making a laptop, that is.
Well you could research, by just going around to different companies (ex. dell, asus, acer, etc...) building up laptops and comparing specs.
