To be honest they all suck majorly for gaming for the price you spend but some good options could be this.

or if he wants a lower resolution monitor
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115541
This leaves him some cash to buy any add-ons he wants...headphones/mic another battery pack etc etc

I would recommend the hp HDX 18 premium series. http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/s...tainment+powerhouse&series_name=HDX18t_series . It's only 1200$ which leaves him a load of cash and that nvidia 9600m GT 512 MB graphics card will allow him to do some crazy gaming.

I got mine for $1049 in the store, so you might want to check the price. Runs the crysis demo on high with excellent frames, but I haven't tried very high. For WoW I get over 60fps except in the major cities where i get like 40 which u cant tell the difference. In arenas ive gotten over 100 and in raids i never see anything get choppy. I think it's the best you can get at the moment. I highly recommend it. Just google reviews on it im sure you will be impressed.
as far as the price goes. It's maybe 300 dollars more max then u would spend on a comp plus monitor and u get the mobility.
I'm also in the Navy actually stationed in Pensacola.

I'm a BM, Nice to see some Navy on here. By the way if he is going to be buying that laptop see if he can get the 12 cell battery with it. If he is in the navy depending on how old his ship is he might not always have access to a power outlet and may need to rely on the battery.
