Hello good residents of Bay 12! My current laptop is horribly insufficient for...just about most games, really. The utter lack of a decent dedicated graphics card is the primary obstacle to playing things; more than one game fails to read a DirectX-capable card and shuts down immediately.

SO! I'm looking for a laptop which would be capable of running modern games at a reasonable quality level. However, I would also like it to be capable of running games like DF (which can only use the one processor), and I'm not sure if it would be possible to fill both goals at the same time. Budget is somewhere less than $1,000 at the moment, but that should be enough to outperform what I have now.

Spoiler: Current specs (click to show/hide)

Windows 7 Home Premium
Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU @ 2.30 GHz and 2.30 GHz
285 GB Storage
4 GB RAM
Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset

As a final note: Smartass comments about getting a desktop instead are not welcome. I travel a lot and desktops are not practical.

No offence, but you're supposed to tell him to use the search function while expressing your sincere doubts about his heterosexuality.

I checked it out, but it seems the OP has a bigger budget than I do. All the suggestions for that thread are over $1,000, and that's a little much for me.
