good laptop for gaming

[Spacewolf]

now i know people are going to say get a desktop but, the problem is i will be working as a marine engineer this means that for the foreseable future i wil be spending btween 2 weeks and 6 months onboard ships at a time therefore i need t have something portable, it doesnt have to be able to play crysis on highest graphics settings, fable 3 on medium settings would be nice though.

I'm also looking at laptops atm, working a lot and cna use the laptop for gaming at the office when things are quiet.

So far i have my eyes on the 'ASUS G73SW TZ134V' which sports some nice hardware (if albeit a mediocre harddrive) In Denmark I've been able to find at at 11.000 DKK whuch is about 2000 USD.

The laptop has:
Intel i7 2.0ghz (4 cores)
8GB DDR3 ram (2x 4GB blocks, with another 2 free slots for exspansions)
1.5GB GDDR5 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M
500GB harddrive (standart 7200rpm)
Full sized numeric keypad (Something I cant live without)

And of course all the tidbits that a laptop should have of course (Webcam, card readers, wiredless blah blah)

THe hard drive would probably be the esiest to sort since you could get a couple terrabyte external one fairly cheap

is there anything cheaper in a UK store then maybe not so top of the end being able to play RTW well would be quite acceptable as well,

I got an Acer3920TG series laptop which has performed very well. A little bit of overheating, just grab a portable external fan for $10. It's 13" with no disk drive, but an i5-450, ATI 5650, 4Gbs of RAM, yadda yadda. I can play Mass Effect 2 and FNV on high settings, just watch out for overheating as I said. It only weighs 2kg too, which was a huge factor me, plus it looks presentable in an office meeting, unlike most 'gaming laptops'.

Cost me 830 Euros. Don't know if that's within your budget.
