1_What is your budget?
I would like to stay around $600, but could do as much as $700.

2_What is the size of the notebook that you are considering?
I am flexible on this, probably 15”+ though.

3_What screen resolution do you want?
Flexible on this but 14400x900 or better is preferred

4_Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop?
No

5_How much battery life do you need?
N/A Will be plugged in when playing.

6_Do you want to play games with your laptop? If so then please list the games that you want to with the settings that you want for these games. (Low,Medium or High)?
The goal will be to play Warhammer online. Potentially other games if other good pvp games come out, but primary use will be Warhammer.

7_What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo / Video editing,watching movies, Etc.)
I would expect to watch the occasional movie or email/surf.

8_How much storage (H.D.D Capacity) do you need?
Not really important. Windows 7 and the game require about 20gb, so technically I would need 40+ but everything should come with sufficient storage.

9_If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post their links.
This is currently my top choice for the price:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115727
However, if I can find this one on a deal I might got for this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115733
I have seen this one for $700 thus my comments above about being worth the extra money.

10_How long do you want to keep your laptop?
Until it breaks. Knowing it will not run games in 2-3 years.

11_What kind of Optical drive do you need? DVD ROM/Writer,Bluray ROM/Writer,Etc ?
DVD rom is all that is needed.

12_Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons.
I am pretty open on the brands.

13_What country do you live in?
North America/USA

14_Please tell us any additional information if needed.
This will be my traveling gaming PC when I am not at home but have access to high speed internet. I appreciate any suggestions/advice. I will likely use it with an external monitor most of the time at home. I believe Warhammer Online uses Gamebyro for a graphics engine. [u...amebryo]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamebryo

Thanks in advance for your time.

Dang, Maziar beat me to it. That last one you listed is much better than your current top choice. Snag it unless the 750 dollar Acer comes down to 700.
The GTX 260m is a MUCH better GPU than the Mobility Radeon 4570, and a better processor too.
Your top choice can probably run the game, but 85 dollars more isn't that much, and you get a far better system out of it.
