Any gaming one. Or in case they're too expenisve, look for one with really decent cpu cooling. Otherwise you'll get hot cpu and slideshow after like 30 min of playing.
Srsly, laptops can screw gaming experience.

I'm used to playing with the following production_config :

Spoiler

1texture_quality=5
adapter_name=Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000
antialias_mode=0
borderless_windowed_fullscreen=false
fullscreen=false
post_processing=false
resolution_height=699
resolution_width=1280
screen_shake=false
shadow_type=no_shadows
texture_filtering=16
texture_quality=1
vsync=false
[GENERAL]
engine_multithreading_mode=enabled

My current laptop (i5, 2,50GHZ, 4GB ram) runs PoE decently for 2 hours (needs a restart after that) with, however, huge FPS drops including a 2-3 seconds freeze when too many things happen. Since I use a laptop cooler I don't have cooling issues anymore.

I'm often traveling, a laptop is my only option.

I agree with the useless increase of effects during boss fights (and other fighting moments). Each time GGG fix performance issues, they add more ways to get (very) unexpected discos...

thanks guys

I'm partial to razer laptops. The newer ones can hook up to an external GPU to get closer to desktop levels of power.
