also note that i didn't say i don't like asus, but more likely, i prefer lenovo, (*psst, it's just you and me, i'm actually just move on from toshiba, i have used asus before, and i think it's not bad, but hey, i haven't tried lenovo before, so why not?)

A good place for this sort of post would be here: What Notebook Should I Buy?

The N550JK is a good starting point. It should be able to play most modern games on medium to high settings and has good build quality. There's also the G550JK, though it's almost identical to the N550JK as far as the hardware specs go.

Happy hunting!
