Good casual gaming laptops?

I don't know anything when it comes to the software of computers but I'm looking to get a new laptop and want to use it to play my videogames. I usually play on my xbox 360 or PS3 but I don't play online anymore so I wanted to get a decent laptop for around $1500, preferably a bit less, just to play RPG's like Borderlands, Skyrim, Dishonored, etc. I don't need the best graphics in the world, just a computer that can play them decently. Originally I was going to get a MacBook Air or an Asus zenbook prime ux31a b/c I wanted an ultrabook. I know they weren't meant for gaming but would they be able to run the games with a decent FPS and decent graphics? If not what would you suggest?

[I know I would need to run Boot camp on OSX to run PC games]

    My opinion, I would never go with Mac when it comes to PC gaming. I would get Asus or Acer, i have had an Asus and Acer before and I have not been disappointed and I have played Skyrim, Fallouts 3 and new vegas along with some other good games and they run very smooth. If you are going to spend $ 1,500 I would get a Asus Republic of Gamers Laptop they are some of the best gaming laptops ever.

    This is just my opinion

    please don't hate

    I hope this helps

    could now no longer propose a mac for gaming as now no longer many video games are indisputably perfect, go alongside with a homestead windows based computer. You definately want a center 2 Duo and a minimum of 2gb of RAM, keep around and notice what which you may desire to get. Dell is often a sturdy guess for laptops. Dont go out and purchase and extreme priced one from a chain keep, they maximum usually have a greater physically powerful mark up on them and greater stuff than you are able to need.
