you need to scale down your expectation, moving from desktop to laptop smile.gif Desktop replacement laptop are expensive.
To perform at the level of GTX650 Ti, you will probably need GTX770M or GTX780M  hmm.gif
And for mobile CPU, only i7 is quad core.

For your budget, your choices are:

Asus
G55VW-S1216H, i7-3630QM +Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + (1920x1080)@RM3999[3.78kg], 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W8

Lenovo
Y500, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT750M(GDDR5) + (1920x1080)@RM3899, 8GB, 1TB, W8, red backlit, swappable GN37 exGPU & ODD, 120w+170w psu, 2 yrs

MSI
GX60-3AE, AMD A10-5750M + AMD XT HD7970 + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM4399 8GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W8
GE60-2OE, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GTX675M + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM4299,8GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W8, backlit keyboard
GE60-ONC, i5-3230M + Nvidia GTX675M + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM3299, 4GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W8

www.illegear.com
Illegear RE-15, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GTX765M + (1920x1080;matte)@RM3599[Onkyo], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), FreeDOS [CPU Options: i7-4700MQ - i7-4900MQ]

Prices are RSP, negotiable.

You mean this?
GE60-2OE, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GTX765M + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM4299,8GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W8, backlit keyboard
vs
Illegear RE-15, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GTX765M + (1920x1080;matte)@RM3599[Onkyo], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), FreeDOS [CPU Options: i7-4700MQ - i7-4900MQ][/color]

GE60 - lighter, thinner, worse heat profile, backlit keyboard, better speakers (in my humble opinion)
RE-15 - customisable (case colour, screen panel, .... )

Performance wise, should not see much difference.

The on-board speakers are ok, but if you plug in external speakers should be fine.
Screen? Don't worry man. Opt for the 95% NTSC gamut screen, calibrate it. Best screen you will ever find for gaming laptop  thumbup.gif

sounds great biggrin.gif but i saw some ppl say the internal audio chip is lousy back then for re-15.. maybe is older model.. 95% ntsc gamut, can look like apple macbook screen a? hehe..
