Problem is if you get one of those $400-500 laptops they are often times poorly designed and will die on you like your past 2 have.
My dad and sister have had various laptops in the 1000-1500 price range and my dads latest one he's had for 3 years and it'll probably last another 9 or 10 years (not including the hdd and perhaps optical drive)
Those $1000 laptops usually aren't gaming laptops either as my sisters $1100 laptop came with a 8400m-g which is far from decent and only plays 3 or 4 year old games decently. If you want a gaming laptop they are usually at least $1400 - 2500 or if your totally insane $4500 like what jonc2006 paid for his Alienware SLI, dual hdd laptop.
One thing good about spending more on a laptop is its design is usually better and it won't crap out on you in a few years.
