then get a xps
you need a (halfway) powerfull NVIDA or ATI graphics card, preferably non GO or MOBILE models that have their own ram
as much ram as you can get
and a reasonably fast cpu
the 1600$ base gaming model would do ok ... but you can get better, faster, and cheaper @ ibuypower.com

Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium Edition
High Resolution glossy widescreen 15.4 inch LCD(1680x1050) & 2MP Camera

This notebook should work nice with SL. Good CPU and VGA power and the other features like RAM and harddrive are also very good.
I personaly would select Windows XP as operating system despite the fact that
Windows XP has no DirectX 10 support.
