Laptop That runs M&B

[Bromagi]

Hello guys,
I am trying to find a decent laptop to buy for no more than $1000 or 800-1000 euros. What i want it to do is be able to run games like M&B without any problems on normal or high settings. I also would also like to play Medieval II Total War or if possible shogun II. I will be using this laptop for other things than gaming in 2 years when i have to work so id like it to be somewhat  long lasting or versatile.

Thanks for the help and I will be happy with your suggestions and opinions.

Thanks for your help man, was already looking at that one as well... I don't feel like paying 1000 euros for alienware if something cheaper can do the job

Whatever you do DO NOT buy an alienware.

Thanks Lysander, it seems I don't have to spend over 1000 euros to get something to play decent games ^^

No, not really.
You are from Germany?
I ordered my Laptop from here: http://www.notebooksbilliger.de/
They have often very good offers and I got my Laptop  2 days after the offer and had no problems. Neither with the payment or with the consignment.

Be sure that you get an USB mouse because playing on the touchpad is a pain in the ass for most of the games lol.

yep my razer mouse is USB .. so is my keyboard, I made sure they were when i bought them so I could use them for laptop as well =)) 

Forgot to ask, how much did you pay for the lenevo y570?

Well, I paid 199 000 HUF for it, which is around 739.409 EUR.

Edit: This version was pretty popular in hungary (because I am hungarian), they sold out the whole thing in 2 weeks. I was very lucky that I was able to get one in time.

I am using an USB mouse too, and it's pretty comfortable. The keyboard of the laptop is very comfortable in my opinion so I bought an USB mouse only.
