Games like HOI obviously aren't the most demanding but I also don't want to skimp on specs and then regret it later for whatever reason.
I grabbed a Dell Inspiron from Bestbuy the other day but at 15 inches it was just a little too large for hauling around in my bag on flights. The 13 inch gaming laptop market seems to slowly be picking up but I'm still not sure which direction to head in.

I'm always big on Lenovos for moderate priced portable gaming (last 2 gaming laptops anyway, switched from Dell/MSI).
The y700s are 14" but are a good price for the hardware:

If you want to spend ~$2000, MemEx has this MSI on sale for 100 off with an extra 100 in a rebate (1899):

Has a dope ass 970m in it too.
There is also a likelihood in the next 2-3 months NVidia and AMD will be dropping new mobile GPUs, so the older PCs will get cleared out for a discount.
