What's your budget? Where do you live? Any specific places you want to buy from?

I will never stop recommending the Microsoft Surface Pro 2

(Yes that's a two, haven't tried the 3, can't recommend something I haven't used)

Basically anything with an i3 or better, or an a6 or better.

any laptop you can buy right now can play that game in 60fps, its a flipping 2d game.

Most important is going to be the screen, keyboard and the harddrive for normal productivity.

 

Whats your budged and what size should the laptop be?

 

If you want to go cheap there are a billion 13-15.6 inch laptops with i3s-i5s with 4-8gb ram,

plastic hardschells and sometimes with touch ips displays and crappy hdds you could swap for a cheap ssd.

So your budged is drasticly lower than 600$? To be honest that is not alot if you look at a brand new one, best rout would probably be a refurbished one or one on sale from last years lineup. Just got to realise that a laptop is a pc with more expensive mobile components, a screen, a keyboard and trackpad and a license of windows.

 

For comparison this is what id get now if I was looking for a nice budged gaming http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Inspiron-i7559-763BLK-Full-HD-GeForce/dp/B015PYYDMQ/ref=sr_1_11?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1447192816&sr=1-11&keywords=laptop&refinements=p_n_size_browse-bin%3A2423840011%7C2423841011 

 800$ gets you enough performance for mid-high in newer titles, a backlit keyboard, a ips screen and a 256gb ssd.

 

If you are looking to spend 300-400$ get something like this

http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Latitude-3440-LED-Notebook/dp/B00GRKTH1U/ref=sr_1_21?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1447193579&sr=1-21&keywords=laptop&refinements=p_n_size_browse-bin%3A2423840011%2Cp_n_feature_four_browse-bin%3A2289794011

 

and put in a cheap ssd (this is really important and will make the laptop snappy),

something like this http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Internal-240GB-2-5-Inch-SDSSDA-240G-G25/dp/B00S9Q9VS4/ref=sr_1_11?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1447193924&sr=1-11&keywords=ssd , you can keep the old, slow hdd as external storage.

Dell XPS 15 9550? i5 6300HQ, 8gb RAM, 1tb HDD and 32gb ssd, GTX 960m

 

I think that's enough to play a lot of games and also do other work stuff.
