Looking at getting a laptop for the GF, we are going out of town for a couple weeks. Would like to get something that im able to play this on, any suggestions?

Depends how much you want to pay really,

On a tight budget this should be more than enough, the 17r Special edition is nicer if you have more to spend and I cant recomend it enough for the price (This is what I have).

If you are looking for something cheaper try ebay.

I was looking more for specs. I will go either Samsung or Asus brand laptop. Im mainly looking for the gpu specs needed for the game. Then i can narrow my search down.

Alternatively, you could try a search engine and type the following "EVE Online System Requirements Laptop". There are quite a few useful results there; most of them pointing at results here on the forums where people asked pretty much the same question. Hope that helps a bit.

I recently had to do the same thing, thats the thread I posted. Really all things considered, you don't need a pricey lap top to be able to run eve even on max specs.

I stand by Asus.

I got that in 2009 and a new one for Christmas last year and I never regretted it.

How may I drug you with drugs?

Always gone with IBM Thinkpads.

Of course, now its Lenovo - but they seem to have continued the tradition of building Thinkpads like tanks.

I run 3 clients on this 2 year old W510 without a hitch.

And it survived my GF stepping directly on it in the dark, while camping in a Volkswagen camper on a Hawaiian beach.
Not a scratch. Bit heavier to lug around, but thats OK.

A potential cracked screen wouldn't have RUINED the vacation, but it might have put a damper on things when returning home, for sure.

I'm not really a laptop person so I don't know a lot about them, but I've never had a Razer product I wasn't happy with. They make a gaming laptop. Take a look.

ASUS is good too. I've been getting my motherboards exclusively from them for a long time now.
