I'm looking for a new gaming laptop. But since I'm not good with computers, I could need some help. I don't want it to be too expensive, but around 900 - 1000 euro. When I searched on Google, the best gaming laptop I found was Alienware (http://www.alienware.com/Landings/laptops.aspx#LearnMore - Alienware 14). Is Alienware a good gaming laptop? And how many fps do I get on it while I'm playing Minecraft with shaders? If you know about other good gaming laptops, that's around the price I want to give, please tell me! I do also need help to find a good gaming mouse.
Thanks :)

For gaming laptops, go for the Alienware or the razer, but desktops are much better.

This is just a question, don't get upset at me:
But why are you trying to get a laptop? Why not a desktop?

My parents are divorced, and then it's much, much easier to transport it from my dad to my mother and vice versa than it is with a desktop. :)

250 on low settings W/ optifine :p
With higher settings, probably like 150.
GFX card = Graphics Card :p
