Gaming Laptop

[BlindFaith]

I am looking to buy a laptop for my girlfriend's birthday.

We play quite a few games together but her current laptop is really starting to feel the miles. I know next to nothing about PC's and was wondering if someone could suggest a gaming laptop, preferably from this website, that could run games such as Guild wars 2 and Borderlands 2 at a decent FPS.

I dont need something that completely destroys those games, just something that can run them at a decent FPS.

I posted a topic similar to this in the Technical Support. If a mod could delete that thread I would appreciate it.

The GTX 660M will play GW2 fine at High.

I completely agree with the above build, but would like to note that if extremely fast load times aren't important (Game performance doesn't change) then you should not go for the SSD and you can save a lot of money.
