Would this be a decent laptop for gaming?

Looking for something to play things like Skyrim on comfortable settings (as in, good graphics as well as good performance).

Would this be alright? Or should I go for something different. 800-1000 is pretty much my price range, so if there's something better I can get for that, let me know.

Ultra isn't a big deal to me. I'm just tired of running it on low AND lagging with my current system. I need something that can really support games, and not just half-ass everything like my current laptop does.
