Asus Laptops, which to get?

[xSiZzle]

I much to lazy to build a computer and I would rather have a professionaly built one. I've been wandering around on  Newegg and I've been looking at a few laptops. Im not a heavy gamer and I usually only play games like Minecraft, League Of Legends, Terraria, RS, and occasionally Blockland. What I would really like to play is SWTOR and maybe some other games like Skyrim or possibly BF3. I usually only do casual gaming but if a cheep laptop can meet my needs and have the abillity to do things without freezing or crashing like a complete bitch I'll be fine.

My budget is around 600-700 dollars. I'm a fan of Asus laptops and have been for a while. I want a laptop and a laptop only. If someone would help me choose the best laptop for my needs I would be greately appreciated. Thanks for the help it is greately appreciated. -If I can find a laptop that is also at a bestbuy I can get 250$ off of it.


*Also what are some things I should think about while buying this laptop?

This one here is probably the best though.

Well, it's a tad outside your budget, but look into the X53S Series.  It's more of a rare model, but I have it and it's pretty beast.  The ultimate test: it can run CrCIA.

So you finally added laptop information, then?

Here, let me get the Asus I found. It might be 800$ though.
EDIT: Good news bad news.

Bad news,
The Asus laptop I had is actually 899$ and is out of stock.

Good news,
Here's an Acer laptop that is really nice and only 649$ AND it's in stock.
But it's Acer.
