I don't know too much about laptops but I can tell you that my Asus that I got 3 years ago kicks serious ass. Being a fairly young person still, I wanted something that could run the latest games fairly well and it does exactly that. I can still run just about any game on max graphics and it's fine.
When I first got it, it would run really fast. As time has passed and I've installed more and more stuff (and haven't cleaned out junk that I don't use) it takes a little longer to boot up, but that's my fault really.
I'd say have a look at some Asus models. My friend who works at Myers would always go for Asus with his store discount, out of all the laptops they have, and he knows his stuff!
