Brand: Potato
RAM: 4 Potato
GPU: Potato Brown 250x
CPU: iPotato
FPS: 20

But yeah, as mentioned above, get a desktop. They last far longer than laptops, plus they are easy to upgrade, e.g. Graphics card. But not an All-in-one type, they count as laptops. You need a real desktop tower + monitor.
To get the best fps on any game, you'll be wanting an i5 @ 3.4 Ghz + 8GB RAM + Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 2GB + (optional) SSD.

wouldn't an i7 and more ram give you more fps?
EDIT: How much fps do you think you can get with these specs?

Zero fps because the liquid in liquid cooling damaged your CPU and broke the electronics

I run minecraft on far +80 at 60 fps. With mip-mapping, better grass, vsync, (without vsync I get fps that fluctuates heavily between 50-90 fps), etc. On normal minecraft settings, (without optifine) I run on far at 230fps. I render a 720p 12 minutes video in 30 minutes. I record on full-screen at 60 fps. I can explode 3000 tnt before i start lagging. My computer can handle a server with 100-150 players before it starts lagging. Yeah it's insane, and I built it for $600. Buying a computer for $600 will probablly only get you 50-70fps on far in normal minecraft. It's a HUGE difference. I highly recommend building a computer. If you know what your doing you should be up and ready in 2 hours.

intel core i5 3470 3.2 ghz(3.6 turbo)
evga GTX 550ti fpb 1GB
cooler master 430 elite w/ 2 Blue LED Fans

i7 is for rendering, so making animations or films. i5 was designed for gaming, if you look at all major games, the recommended CPU is always i5. 8GB's is enough to run any game plus other programs running in the background. 16Gb's is also great.
I wouldn't really go for alienware, I've heard nothing but bad reviews. You don't really need the additional HDD since you've already got the SSD and the 1TB SATA.

I'd say you'll get easily over 100 FPS with that set up anyway. But yeah, look around at other pc makes also look at i5's. A good graphics card would be nvidia geforce gtx 660. Its rating is around the middle of all the nvidia's and can run every game on recommend settings.

[Echo/Haydn]

Macbook pro, 140fps with Optifine. Had it nearly 3 years, works extremely well. Never lags and the FPS rises Every time I update my mac.

 

[iDufferz]

Somehow when I upgraded to sphax 512x512 from 256 my fps stayed the same
