First of all I want to start by saying are you sure you want a laptop?

Typically the price - performance ratio on a laptop when compared to a desktop PC is far less worthwhile. I understand that some people don't mind and want the portability of the laptop, I completely understand.

A few Laptops I reccomend are:
http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230515
or
http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152388

Both are very worthwhile laptops from well trusted brands.

There probably are more choices out there, but these are the two I came up with after a bit of searching. If you ask me, the MSI laptop is a much better deal .

I'll check those out, but first wanted to answer your question.

I have a gaming rig already that I use primarily, but wanted something that I can take with me on vacation. I also wanted it to be able to use to work on my blog on the road or around the house for that matter. At the same time, I want it at least somewhat capable of playing games.
