Looking for a laptop to play when I am away from my PC. I don't want to spend a ton of money probably at most around 2,000. You can see my current PC below and I would love for my Laptop to run pretty much the same as what I have. Also I like a slimmer laptop and would want and LED keyboard. I couldn't decide on which DS laptop to get yet and would love any and all suggestions.

Forbus, Krypton or Harker would all be good. A bit smaller the Avon.

I'd suggest finding the one that appeals to you most (asthetics) then look at the specs and do a config, save the config and post the config number back here and we can get specific.
Vanquish II Ultimate.

Correct, laptops are quite easy that way. You just need to pick the size and style you like, then you can select the components that best suit your needs.

I can price you something close to your desktop.  Processor is better, but the card is very slightly inferior.  To get equal-or-slightly greater performance to your desktop 960, you'd need to go for a 980M.

This configuration 117368 has a 970M (slightly inferior to the desktop 960) to bring it under your $2K limit.  However, the processor is better than your 4590 and in some script-heavy, good-AI games, that will make a difference.

Also it's a 17.3" model and I'm not sure how portable you're hoping to make the laptop, but I prefer larger models so I can get a good-sized screen when I'm on the road.

I would say go with a Krypton, Harker or Avon as the Triton and Forbus use a screen that some reviewers have noted is lower-quality than other laptops.  Harker and Avon are newer chassis models than Krypton, but I haven't seen reviews of those yet.
