Hey there, I'm casually tooling around to find a laptop to replace my current Latitude e6500 with a discrete card better than the quadro 160m on-board (which can just barely run nba2k13). I've done a little research and found the the Vostro 3000 series which looks decent, anything with an i-series or AMD equivalent that can play modern games would be great. Here's the FAQ, as you can see it is pretty wide open, as I do a decent bit of gaming on my laptops but I dont expect to run CoH2 on it or anything, thanks and go wild!
