The one I have is about $850 and runs Legions just fine.

I would build a desktop instead of a laptop. I know a good set for $1000 that will run games amazingly. PM me if you want some help.
I'll look for some laptops too...

This one's not bad. With that said, almost anything modern with a dedicated GPU should be fine. Try to avoid netbooks, though.
I'm thinking there's a specific reason why you want a laptop (portability, lack of space, etc), but Ucan's right. If you're on a tight budget, desktop is the way to go.

alienware is at the best a huge waste of cash.
take for example:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...200048&cm_re=alienware-_-34-200-048-_-Product
and compare it to say, this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152204&cm_re=msi-_-34-152-204-_-Product
you get:
the same processor
the same amount of RAM
the same harddrive
nvidia graphics card that performs equal to 5850 (plus never having to use ati drivers again <3 )
that for 320$ less than the alienware computer.
but if you want even better graphics, take this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152211&cm_re=msi-_-34-152-211-_-Product
same *chocolate cookies* you get as stated above but with a 5870, which of course is better than a 5850.
for 70$ less.

Laptops don't occupy that much space and are more economical. But when it comes to games, Laptops lose in the favor of PC's.

I used to own an Alienware laptop. I will never, EVER own an Alienware product ever again. I was appalled by their service (but then, it's Dell, so what was I thinking?), burnt by their prices, singed by their overheating components, and disgusted that I couldn't play anything without the whole system shutting down from overheating. I'm sure they've gotten a lot better by now as far as components go, but when it comes to service, Dell is not to be trusted.
I have, on the other hand, found TREMENDOUS success with ASUS's line of gaming laptops. I build my systems, but my sister's gotten an ASUS gaming laptop twice now, and we've been phenomenally pleased. Hitting the sub-$1K price point and still getting an exceedingly entertaining, top-quality system was a simple affair.

Asus make some great budget machines. There is a laptop with an I5 processor , 4 gigs of ram and a 650 gig HD, it would run legions smooth as butter and you can get it for as low as 550. Right now it's 650, but it goes on sale often. For whats inside it, I think it's a steal.

That's a decent processor for that price. My biggest concern with it would be the lack of a dedicated GPU.
Ahoy hoy, y'should list what kind of budget you can afford.
