Hi guys I'm going to be getting a laptop in a few months, and I'm looking for something that can comfortably run at least BF4:

Minimum System Requirements
OS: Windows Vista SP2 32-bit
Processor (AMD): Athlon X2 2.8 GHz
Processor (Intel): Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz
Memory: 4 GB
Hard Drive: 30 GB
Graphics card (AMD): AMD Radeon 3870
Graphics card (NVIDIA): Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT
Graphics memory: 512 MB

Recommended System Requirements
OS: Windows 8 64-bit
Processor (AMD): Six-core CPU
Processor (Intel): Quad-core CPU
Memory: 8 GB
Hard Drive: 30 GB
Graphics card (AMD): AMD Radeon HD 7870
Graphics card (Nvidia): NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
Graphics memory: 3 GB

Any recommendations? I've seen the Aftershock brand and their product line seems pretty good. My budget is around $1500 to $1800.

Thanks a lot!

Don't recall any AMD got 6 core for notebook, cheapest AMD for current line should be MSI GX60, but it still over your budget.

Maybe you can try Aftershock XG15, price starting from 1.5k maybe you can add on a ram then it is good to go

1.8 shld get u a well built and fast XG15.

It is fast but 1.5k is without os and with os is 2.1k. Do not forget that it is only 1 full warranty while other brand like ASUS is 2 years international warranty and can extend to 3 years international. I actually wanted to get XG15 but see that it is only 1 year full warranty I do not feel secured. 4th generation Notebook the parts are quite expensive.

Not sure if you've actually went to their website to try and customize an XG15? 2.1K comes with an mSATA SSD, which you can opt out to keep the cost down. Asus G series' RRP is 2198, and I think cheapest you can get now is between 2 to 2.1K. You can easily upgrade the Aftershock warranty to 2 years for another 100 bucks.

I will need SSD so that I can boot up fast within 6-7 seconds as I hate to wait. Can I get 3 yrs extended warranty like ASUS and MSI. 3rd year extended warranty how much? Motherboard is a few hundreds, quite expensive.
