I have an ASUS G73Jh, it plays CoH just fine at 1920x1200 on an external display. Some people had issues with video stuff, but the company released an updated vBIOS that seems to have fixed it.

I run a Toshiba L645D-S4036, triple-core CPU w/ Radeon 4200 series GPU. Runs fine, even Ultra Mode (save water effects, it doesn't like those).

I'm reasonably happy with an Asus G73JH. It is a bit big though.

Another possibility would be a MSI GX640 (or Force 1656-ID5)

I'd look for discrete graphics (ATI 5xxxM or Nvidia 45x or 46xM)
and a Core i5 or i7 processor. Screen size to taste. Ideally
you'll want to see and test drive a model before you buy, to
evaluate screen, keyboard, etc.

I've been avoiding MSI ever since they signed me up for a bunch of spam and tried to ruin my credit rating because I tried to actually collect on a rebate offer. (No, really. We have IP logs.)

Ah, well then...

I have yet to be disapointed by my Asus ROG laptop. Can run multiple instances no problem. Bought it over a year ago now, so I am not on top of the latest gear. New Egg is a great resource for compairing laptops, be sure to read the reviews.

Thank you all for the help.

You may have made up your mind already, but I'm jumping in with another mention in favour of the ASUS G73Jh ROG (or the Beast as I call it - it is a little large for a laptop).

I have an ASUS N71JQ-X2. I run CoX in Ultra mode and have minor delay in Cim and RWZ raids.
It does get hot, so I suggest a laptop cooler.
