Toshibia sells some really good price point gaming laptops IMO and they can take a beating...but most of them are 17"

If you've previously won the build off please pm me so we can get something worked out.

Have you look at the Asus ROG laptop 

 

or the MSI gaming series laptops?

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

I'm a fan of Asus' laptops though. Alienware (regardless of the biased elitists) have good laptops as well.

ASUS ROG series are the only ones I would dare suggest, everything else seems to die / have severely limited performance within a years use.

if she can spare extra 99 dollars

 

she can go for the GS60 Ghost Pro 3K-097

 

it uses the GTX870M = GTX760 desktop version

 

128GB SSD
