I have an Asus *cough* *cough*. Laptops can play PC games perfectly fine, you just need to know what brand you're looking for. I purchased my G73JH model from BestBuy (don't give me that look, I know they're expensive) for a little over $1500. Sure it might be a little outdated (like 6 months or so) but it can play Skyrim on High with very little issues. Asus is a pretty good gaming laptop brand, and they don't have the annoying integrated video cards that can't run PC games for cr*p. If you want to find affordable gaming rigs (if laptops aren't your thing), I suggest looking on Fry's or Newegg.com . Desktop rigs may last longer since you can replace the video card and add RAM sticks when you need to, but laptops can last just as long, provided that you treat them well.
