Laptop suggestion

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could suggest a decent laptop that will run Star Trek Online smoothly, while not being too overly expensive.

The only thing it really needs to do is run STO. Other than playing this, all I do is surf, do work and run a few other older programs that will run on pretty much the most basic of laptop.

any and all suggestions would be grealy appreciated, since I am completely ignorant about computers. Also if you can't provide a link to the laptop, an average price would be helpful, so I know if I am looking at the right laptop or not..thanks in advance.

    Can't carry one with you. He probably HAS a desktop since he plays already.

    ASUS makes some great (but inexpensive) gaming laptops.

    Key things to look for when buying a gaming laptop:
    • Discrete Video Card (don't buy a card that shares RAM)
    • 4 GB+ RAM (anything less just doesn't cut it anymore)
    • 2.5 GHz+ processor, preferably dual-core
    • 350 GB+ HDD
