Need Help Finding A Decent Gaming Laptop

Ok, so I just got a new $400 laptop the other day because my old one died on me and I realized that this thing sucks. I didn't really expect much from it anyways, but I really want to get something a little better. The one that I currently have is a Compaq Presario F762NR Notebook. I bought my other laptop used from a friend for $300 and it wasn't bad at all and it lasted me about a year. It was a Compaq nc6230 Notebook. It played games from about 3 or 4 years ago just fine. So I feel like I downgraded in a way with my new purchase. I don't expect something too extreme, just something that has some type of gaming capability unlike this one. I guess I'm willing to spend about $700. That's kind of pushing it, but I'm willing to spend it I guess. I see a Gateway with AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual0Core Movile Technollogy TL-60 with 4GB DDR2 memory, 250GB hard drive, with ATI Radeon X1270 video card. That one is around $700. Is that a good deal or not? Sorry, I'm a tech noob with this stuff and that's why I come to you guys for help.

EDIT: Just did some googling, and I found out that that wasn't that good. Any other suggestions? I need something that will also allow me to do some intensive Photoshop work at high resolutions with many layers.
