Need help buying a laptop!

Hello,

I need suggestions before buying a laptop. Im pretty much going to use it for gaming and school work. I'm actually lookin at this Asus gaming laptop and it fits my budget. But not sure if it'll run new games out there like AOC or COD. Other laptop recommendation would be great!
Thanks in advance...

Asus make good laptops, but I wouldn't class that one as a gaming laptop, the G series are the gamers. Sorry about that, it is a G series. Nice laptop, don't like it's looks though.

I've decided to go with Asus G50Vm-X1 from bestbuy. It came out to $1209 tax included. I think it's a great buy with all the great specs and everything. ALso, I ran Age of conan and surprisingly was running great FPS between 40-60. Im very happy with this laptop and thanks for the help guys.

The meat inside it usually is what decides it for me...most of the time.
