The Tech forum is a few up from this one and definitely the best place to ask this question; they field questions like this all the time.
However, you should be specific about your budget and other needs/wants. "The best to run CoH" is pretty wide open definition and could be very pricey indeed.

Hubby and I got Dell Inspiron 1545 with upgraded vid cards (cost $580 each) for Christmas and they work fantastic for CoH. If you decide to order one that is 'built to order' like Dell is (other places as well) just have your list of CoH recommended hardware, not just minimum requirements, and tell them you want to make sure the laptop will meet all those requirements. Thats what we did and they had to upgrade our vid cards for that purpose, but otherwise, the computers came with everything needed. Best of luck!
alright thanks appreciate it guys =). i went ahead and set it up on this computer for now and i crash about every 2 hours or thats the way it seems right now. i was hoping it would work decently and it does and all i have to do is reboot. but ill definetely repost and look to see what i can do on the laptop for dell.
Sounds like you got your issue resolved but I wanted to chime in that if you look to buy a new laptop almost any that you would buy now would run CoH some will look/run better than others but it will run. It runs on mine that I paid $350 new for two years ago and the first pc I installed it on is now 9 years old and while I don't use it now... it runs it fine.
However, if you're picky about having graphics cranked I'd go ahead and get a nice gaming laptop if budget isn't an issue.

That's not really true. While I agree that unless you go for a really bargain-basement model, most laptops you'd buy now would have enough memory and processor power to run CoH adequately, the same can't be said for graphics. |

People come into the Tech Forum all the time to ask why that their new comp doesn't run CoH well--or at all--and very often it's because they have a graphics card or onboard "graphics solution" that just isn't up to the requirements for 3D gaming. It's especially unfortunate for laptop buyers, since usually there's not a darn thing that can be done to fix the problem other than turn the settings way, way down or buy a better laptop.
