I had gotten myself a laptop a while back. I never planned on using it for AH, but when the update came out, I knew I couldn't use my desktop anymore.
I have this right here. I'm not running hires, but I'm at 1024 res, with ground detail range and graphics maxed out. I run a solid 55-70 FR with it.
If you need a laptop anyway, this would be a great option. It has the usb ports for your mouse, joystick. And plug-ins for your Mic and headset.
