Don't get an Acer, whatever you do. My mom has one, and no one dares touch it for it's crappyness. Anything with a Pentium 4 chip or better would do.

Playing games on laptops isn't something I recommend doing. Even high end laptops ($800 and up) struggle to play games.

Haha this sounds like me some months ago...

My little brother bought a pretty cheap GAMING laptop for around €800 (Thats cheap for a gaming laptop) and i bought a desktop PC for the same amount of money. For around €800 you get a far better desktop PC for gaming. I can max the BF3 beta. While my little brother has to do with MEDIUM! settings.

So really, don`t go for a laptop, a desktop PC for the same money blows equally priced laptops out of the water.

Thats ignoring the overheating issues and the shorter life-span of laptops.
