New Laptop

I'm sure there may be a thread for this already, but I looked, and did not see one.
I recently built a gaming desktop, and it works perfectly, buuut I also just deployed for combat for the US Army. Now I'm in the market for a laptop so I can continue to game, at least somewhat regularly, while I'm here. Only thing is I've never even bought a laptop. So I wanted to know recommendations for brands that would be reliable and high-functioning.
I'm not looking for top of the line or anything. Just something that can handle things like ME3 (when it comes out), WOW, and then the games I already have like ME1,2, Witcher, and stuff along that line. I'd like to keep the cost under $700 if possible, but I will bump as high as 800. Like I said, not requiring top of the line.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. There's not a lot to do in the damn desert except sit at USO's and kill time.

The 540M will give you good framerates at 1366x768 (51.6 FPS @ Maximum settings in ME2).

The one that a5ehren linked is nice because it's 13.3" which is the smallest out of the bunch if portability is at all a factor. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152264 this is basically a 15" version of it)
If you check out any other laptops and want to compare the graphics card you can use http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html to compare the different cards.
