I'm shopping for a new laptop for general use as well as for use with a flight sim. I'm assuming I need something that's good for gaming because of the graphics demands.

Can anyone provide some general guidance on what to look for as well as specific recommendations. Would prefer to spend around $700 but could go a little higher if needed.

Thanks!

MS Flight Simulator X is CPU-bound. That means to buy the fastest, most powerful Haswell processor you can afford (Core i5 or i7). Discrete graphics would also be helpful.
