asus and dell alienware are good gaming laptops. i have an hp pavilion dv6 and i am gaming ok on it
however there is something critical u should know when gaming on laptops. gaming causes the graphics card and cpu to overwork so laptop heats more than usual. some laptops dont handle excess heating well like my hp pavilion dv6. my laptop died only a few months after i bought it due to excess gaming lol
if u want to game on laptop then use a coolpad

My two year old laptop XPS17 GT555M i7-2670QM can run almost all games in fullspeed in 720p resolution and some in 1080p. But the U in the CPU name is a really big issue, as ultra low voltage CPUs are extremely slow, most likely too slow for pcsx2. I once had an i5U and the performance was much closer to Intel Atom and far away from a normal i3, i5 or i7 CPU without the U.

I´m going to buy a cooler but i do have a temp checker installed that i run everytime i play something and it´s really well in the normal values and the vents where the laptop breath aren´t really hot, they are normal, to every laptop i have gamed in. My old laptop, as an Acer and lasted 6 years before having to change the thermal paste of it, and i did game quite a bit on it. Also i don´t game like non-stop, at best i game for a 1 hour straight, but i quit after, i know a laptop is not a console when you can play non-stop for years without any problem. Also it appears that this ASUS has some type of special cooling system built in from what i read on the manual.
Just tried PCSX2 by the way, for the games i did want to play, it kinda works like i expected, so i´m happy.
