What laptop should I get?

I am looking for a laptop which is best fit for playing high-end computer games. What brand should I get, and what minimum specs will I need to make sure I can run top-of-the-line games without issue? I can spend up to around $2,000. Please only respond if you are knowledgeable about computers.

    I would look into the Dell Alienware, or XPS lines.

    Keep in mind though that any laptop you get, no matter the parts, it will not be as good as a desktop for high end gaming.

    But basically, you want to get as much ram as you can afford, a minimum of 2 gigs. Preferably a 7200 rpm hard drive, a dual core 2+ ghz chip, and the best video card you can afford, at least 256, but more likely 512 megs of ram.

    Look here to get an idea of pricing, and what each system can do. http://www.alienware.com/product_pages/notebook_al...
