WDYT about this gaming laptop (for my sister)

(nina's sis still here)

Well I have a budget of up to $2000 (including shipping)

So please post any other better laptops that you think I could get for this price as I've only just started pricing out and shopping around.

(Nina's sis again)

Thanks for the links electro! I'll look into those ones too.

stores I know of
Desktop Computers, Laptops, Servers, Monitors, Printers & PC Accessories | Dell Australia
JB Hi Fi - Australia's Largest Home Entertainment Retailer - Smashing Prices!
Harvey Norman Australia | Your Specialist in Electrical, Computers, Furniture and Bedding
Toshiba Australia and New Zealand

I tend not to buy from harvey norman though, I've had nothing but bad luck and support from them.

CyberPower Inc. - UNLEASH THE POWER - Create the Custom Gaming PC and Laptop Computer of your dreams
That is where I got my lappy from, and I am really happy with it.

You can customize it to your budget and power. Don't know if they ship to AUS, but its worth looking.

EDIT: Most of those laptops have an i7 option, as well as the newest GPUs. The ones shown on the page ARE NOT the base models, they can drop in price as well.

Some Australian computer shop links would help

Unfortunately all the 'good' online Aus stores don't carry any decent gaming laptops.

For the expected performance vs the price, unfortunately it's not going to happen

Image quality will have to be sacrificed to meet the budget.

For sheer gaming, perhaps a PS3 or 360 may be a cheaper option and with the left over cash, just grab a 'decent' netbook for non-gaming stuff.
