code veronica is quite demanding, but I think a quad around 2.8-30 Ghz with a decent dedicated gpu should be enough

If i was a rich person and wanted to waste money.
I would buy a alienware.
I just don't know what to do now as far as what laptop.
I cant find any good inexpensive laptops that can do anything good.

RE:CV will likely run well on the i5 suggested though. at 3x I am getting 41fps, which is a rough simulation of a slower PC.
also, what price range are you looking for?

Other games I am buying is Okage, and all the .hack games.
Im just looking into something that can do the job in the top 90% for the price of a 50% computer.

basically, if we don't recommend laptops for pcsx2, there is a reason : most of actual laptops that can give you good performances a really expensive (especially if compare them to their desktop equivalents).
Dunno about okage, but .Hack games aren't very demanding and should be playable (not full speed, but still playable) with some speedhacks on a 2.5 ghz I3 with a fair dedicated GPU.
Avoid integrated GPU at all costs.
Now, it's all up to you...

i3 on a laptop is 2 cores, no threads (meaning 2 threads only)
i5 is 2/2 (4 threads)
and i7 is 4/4 (8 threads)
I'm not 100% sure but I think you're wrong:
i3 is a 2 core 4 thread no turbo
i5 is a 2 core 4 thread + turbo (and probably more L3 cache)
i7 is a 2 core 4 thread + turbo in ultrabook while 4 core 8 thread in standard laptop
2 core 2 thread no turbo should be Celeron/Pentium

I don't really follow laptops, so I could be, and most likely am
