Looking for advice on buying a new laptop

[TCB22]

Hello, I am new to these forums but plan to familiarize myself with them from now on, anyways to the point I am currently in the market looking for a new laptop I am looking for something that will be used for school but will also allow me to play games at full potential my price range is from around $900-2000 I've even been looking into the Alienware laptops but if there are laptops out there just as good and cheaper I'd like to know. In advance thank you for any advice or help I appreciate it

What kind of games do/would like to play?
Also, try to go for a laptop with a 4th generation intel processor.

Something like this would be dope... http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8143729&CatId=3998

I'm really looking for something that I can play WoW on the best settings, i play some Call of Duty... But my pc right now isn't the best for gaming so I'm mostly looking for something that will allow me to expand my horizons and play some other games

 

[TCB22]

Any laptop that can play games at full settings should be fine I think but I also watch alot of TV shows on my PC so yeah that too

Alright, then I stand by my earlier statement. Stick with a 4th generation intel cpu, and go for one that has at least a Nvidia GTX 765M graphics card.

The one I listed above is the probably one of the best ones that falls under 2 grand.

The biggest thing is do you really want a huge gamintg Beasty to lug around school?

Ill check that one out... As far as size I don't really mind as long as it fits in a backpack. I mean being completely honest if it was up to me I'd rather having a gaming desktop but I need something I can use for school and my laptop has a problem with continuously restarting on me randomly and I don't have an OS to use

I'd suggest a smaller powerful machine and a 20" monitor n keyboard.
