Hi and welcome to seven forums

Im assuming you're willing to trade a ton of horsepower to get a laptop. You are really restricted on video, audio, HD, heat, etc. For 1500 you probably gonna end up with something like a dell XPS. Not a bad lapbrick but for the same 1500 you could get a pretty good desktop. BTW Im using a dell laptop right now

Sounds like you'd do much better getting a desktop gaming unit... much more bang for the buck... Just remember the old adage ... The difference between the men and the boys ...

Good Luck...

Yeah I know they are incredibly handy for schooland work, etc. You want a lappy that will run 64bit, as much memory as you can afford, at least a dual core 2 processer. A good video card and 5.1 audio. you can change HD later and you can add memory later.

Hope this helps
