I'd personally recommend Dell laptops.

I'm very picky when it comes to laptops and had two HP laptops at different points these past years and they were semi-average. For gaming, it was non-existent.

The specific Dell laptops I've purchased are the Dell Inspiron models which are nice because it can handle light gaming because of the Radeon R4 Graphics and since I love older games like the first few Fallout games and more, it'll run as smooth as baby oil and butter combined.

In general, all Dell laptops [i]and[/i] desktops (like the one I have) is fantastic and so worth it; they can be a little pricey but very good. Beautiful in design, very organized, and business-like even if you have the most basic one.

If you're only looking at laptops for gaming, you'll want to create a budget and save up because they are very expensive and I'm not just talking about Alienware, which goes from $800 to $1,000 and more, but others too.

I'm just trying to find a balance and asking for advice since I'm somewhat clueless to computer magiks. The most intensive thing I'd want would be a newer Fallout or Skyrim game (which now that I think about it sounds like I'm asking for a lot >_>).

Namely, I just want something I can mod with. I hath been but a console peasant all my life and now I seek to attain glory and enlightenment from the PC master race nobility! \[+]/
