Advice for gaming device [View all]

I may or may not be looking for a new laptop. Heavy emphasis on the may not. But should I find myself being convinced to do so (by myself), can anyone help me find an appropriate laptop for gaming?

Yeah, I know, but I'm hoping I'm not that hardcore to worry about the heating issue and the whatnot.

I'm pretty much concerned with only playing two games on the highest graphic settings: Skyrim and TESO when it comes out. However, I'll deal with medium settings (or lower, I guess), so long as the laptop will play for a decade of new games on any setting.

The only other games I foresee myself playing is something from the Call of Duty series, Civilization, or maybe one of them fancy Star Wars games. But I don't care about highest settings for those. For some reason, it's just Skyrim (and TESO in the future).

I'm not picky, so long as I can feel I can trust the brand. However, HP is out of the question, although I have nothing against the company personally.

Anyway, any help? Thanks!
