Hey everyone!

I have a friend who is looking at getting a new laptop and wants it to be able to run FS9 maxed with good frames. He is not a serious simmer like us (yet plotting

) and not familiar with whats needed to run FS9 well. I know they are out there but I have never had to look for a "gaming" laptop before so I need some help in order to help him out. His max budget is $1000. I have a few eyeballed but I would like to get some advice from those of you who know laptops well and/or run FS9 real good on a laptop.

Here are the three I found after a quick search:

2. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834215200
3. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834214414

I hope I can get some good help!

Thanks guys
