A gaming laptop for my son

[Charles]

My son enjoys playing video games, and his birthday is soon. He now uses a desktop computer, but I want to give him a powerful gaming laptop. I am not very technical in specifications and other things.

A surprise for him would be nice, so feel free to propose any laptop for gaming. The cools members will no doubt offer me some fantastic ideas.
