Getting a New Laptop want to play basic games like half life 2 etc.

does anyone have a laptop model that will play games like half life 2 relatively well? And any suggestions on what else to buy and download? (New to pc gaming)

Well in general the more you spend the more you can do. But I'd suggest you get a desktop half the price double the performace.

If its got to be a laptop stick with the big brands Alienware is gonna be the best but it will cost ya. If you dont want to spend the $2500 for one of those Dell XPS.
