I bought an Acer Aspire v5 and It can handle really demanding games like Battlefield 3 and so on. Price lays around 600 euro. But i don't know what type of laptop you are looking for really. Gaming or a normal one?

I know that laptops are way more convenient but investing in a desktop is probably the better route. I got me new computer (HP Pavilion) with 10 Gigs of ram, A10 processor, 2 TB hard drive, quad core, beats audio, win 8 and wifi compatibility for $500. I still have my old laptop if I want to go anywhere. Would seriously suggest investing in a desktop rather than a laptop. That Alien ware laptop is pretty good, my friend has the same one. How much is that one?

Spec's cause that's pretty pricey for something that may not be worth that much.

No need to go get a 1-3k computer to play these 2 games I would just go with one similar to mine. Just my opinion.

Lol if you have enough money to buy and Alienware product, you should have enough money to build a high-end gaming computer as well as a 1440p display and other peripherals.

If you can't be arsed building it, retailers can assemble it for you at a cost, hell, a prebuilt one will still be a good alternative compared to an Alienware gaming laptop.. There's no excuse for buying a high-end laptop over a high-end desktop if your main objective is to play games..

Just do your research into building a gaming PC, you won't regret it, it's a good learning experience.
If you do consider building a PC, go to the tomshardware.com forum and get advice on components.

Why would you need a super expensive computer to play BC and LoL?
I have a pretty bad computer and it's still enough to run LoL on high graphics at a decent FPS, other than that my computer can't run any games
