Question
I would like to buy a gaming laptop that can run Age of Empires with maximum settings and a high frame rate. I also want to play Crisis with the settings turned down a little bit.  I also want vista, all for under $1500. I don't care about any other specs.

Answer
Not to be rude, but what you've outlined is impossible. A gaming laptop costs easily over $3000, especially one that can handle Crysis at any reasonable level.

Now, a gaming desktop for that price is entirely possible, and it could entirely meet the requirements you've outlined.

I have been an enthusiast of PC's for many years, and can answer questions about the purchase/use of a new computer or the purchase, installation, and use of upgrades for existing computers. There probably isn't a whole lot related to the home computer that I haven't seen over the years.
