What computer under £1000 could run Civ5 fast?

[Smurfkiller9000]

My brother wants a computer but isnt sure to get a macbook pro (like me), or some sort of alienware or other. He's into Civ5 and Football manager, pretty huge games, so I want your opinion on what LAPTOP would be best.

Tell him to avoid Alienware, first of all.

Being a lazy american, i don't know what the conversion between Pounds and USD is, so here's a couple models of laptop that should do the trick, in the $700- $800 range

He told me to thank you on his behalf.

Not sure about the price point of these, but some of the older models (look around the website) are very nicely priced.
