Default sims 3 gamers which laptop do you play on

Hi all, i am new to this forum but have always been addicted to the sims and hav ALL the other games.

however My current PC will not cope with the sims 3 so its time to buy a new computer .

i want a laptop but am losing the will to live searching online for one with sufficient specification (Graphics mostly) to run the game.

So if any of you guys are currently playing the sims 3 on a newish laptop (from the UK) could you please tell me which kind it is to help me narrow my search. i can then dash of to the shops and buy one because i cant wait to get on the game.

Thanks in advance

sam

I've got an Asus NV0-something... Runs the game perfectly on maximum settings, though.
