    Hello everyone!

    I'm currently searching for a good laptop that I can use for both doing my work and gaming.

    My budget is $1200 max, and for now I'm looking at 2 systems:

    1. HP dv6tqe with i7 2720, 8gb ddr3 ram (dual channel), full hd screen, 2gb 6770m graphics card. (cost is 1213 dollar with 2 yr in home warranty)

    2. Asus g53SW-nx1 with i7 2630 (should i get a i7 2720? wrong forum but still..), 8gb ddr3 ram, full hd screen, 1.5 gb gtx 460m. (cost is 1500.. no warranty)

    I'm leaning towards the HP, but do you think that system can run wow @ 60 fps on high-ultra settings in a raid (25m with lotta fire lol)? My friend has a similar laptop with 2gb 6770 and he can play sc2 on high settings @ 60 fps most of the time. Just wondering - any help would be nice!

    =D
