What's considered High-End?

i think below config you can say high-end - Intel i7 (4 CPU/8 threads) (with direct IO enabled) - 8gb+ RAM (suggested 16gb, 2GB per thread is better) - SSD SATA 6Gb/s with TRIM support

I would reccomend you hp g6-2285sx which suits all your needs.and also less cost..

That really depends on a lot of stuff. Is this correct? You want a laptop. Primary use is gaming. Any idea how much you're wanting to spend? If you're not necessarily wanting the ultimate in gaming but just something that would be decent, there should be a lot of different options. So it depends on how much you want to invest. Will you be taking your laptop to different locations with you? This is a major consideration when considering size and weight of a laptop. If you just want minimal portability around the house and something that isn't going to take up an entire desktop like a desktop model does, you can get a decent size laptop and don't have to worry about the weight. But if you're planning on taking it on trips or taking it out and about with you, size and weight become a factor. So how the portable does it need to be? Your primary use is gaming. What else do you want to be able to do? Will you need a lot storage space for your games or do you run games straight from disks and the Internet without downloading? Other things you might need space for? Other programs? Files? Pictures? Videos? Is there any specific software you want already on your system or do you want to outfit once you choose your computer? Basically, the amount that you give that you want to spend,, does this include any software you want or are you considering the cost of software as extra? The biggest things you would probably have to consider are: the size (go for 14 inch if you need to travel, go with 15 or 17 inch if you plan to rarely move it), the type of CPU (I would suggest Intel Corei5 or Corei7), how much RAM (I would suggest a minimumof 6 GB, 8 if possible), the size and speed of the hard drive (Go for a 7,200 rpm and at least 320GB - although it's not that much more expensive to go bigger), the number of pixels available on the display (1440x900 is usually sufficient), the size and type of the graphics chip (don't know as much about this - have heard good things about AMD and Nvidia, 1GB ok but 2 would be better), how much battery life you want (this will depend on how much you need to be away from power), the brand of computer (do you have a preference? I've heard a lot about Lenovo and gaming laptops), and MAC or Windows (I'm assuming Windows since it's what you have?). You can easily get online once you have these things worked out and see what's availaable and what it would cost. Then you can make compromises if you need.

2GB RAM and DirectX 9.0c are very old things to have if you are looking to play games of today. If I recommend, you can buy a decent laptop which has "ATLEAST" these specifications for gaming purposes: Chipset: Intel Core i5 (Clocked 3.0GHz and above) RAM: 4GB DNse Surround Sound Graphics Card: 1GB, prefer NVIDIA (GeForce Might be good enough for low price) OS: OS has to be Windows 7(other than Starter) or Windows 8 All that into a laptop would cost you around $400-500. That would be enough to play games like COD, Mass Effect HD. Select the Best... :)
