Dell, HP and Apple only. You already ruled out Dell and HP...so I suppose Apple would also be out of the question.

Sorry.

Actually, if it's a pretty powerful Apple Laptop, it can dual-boot Windows and run Windows better than a PC can.

Yes, but Apple Computers are also all high-end systems, and high-end systems are not cheap.
But, if it can be afforded, really a good Mac Book Pro would be the best option because you can dual boot. Keep one side for your work, the other for gaming. That way if Windows decides to eat it's own feet, it won't **** with your work.

But... they're expensive.

Its sad to see someone with such a closed mind. Mac's Linux pc's and Windows are all good OS's. For gaming purposes I would have to say Windows like you said but if you can learn how to use a linux pc its 100-200$ cheaper and can run windows just as good as a high end windows comp. Since its made by the community they know what needed to be fixed with Windows. Mac's are amazing computers and the desktop looks smexy. With virtual PC they are very viable as a gaming PC. Windows are good because of their varility and ability to upgrade.

The site I like for gaming comps is ibuypower.com but I don't see anything in your price range. Good luck if you find a good one send it to me I need a laptop for my brother in college. It wouldn't hurt to be able to play some games during a seminar or two =P

I am not saying macs are bad. I just do not like the interface and functionality of a mac. The same can be said for Linux. I grew up on DOS and Windows 3.1 and I am familiar with and prefer the windows OS. Besides, macs are expensive as hell so unless I got one for free I cannot see myself getting one.

Just make sure that it doesn't have Vista.

Vista makes me cry on my lap top. ;-;
