Gaming laptops will have fancy graphics cards, and you don't need one of those for chess.

I use a HP Elitebook (dual core Ivy Bridge @ 2.6GHz, boosts to over 3GHz with turbo).

I'd recommend it. Lenovo are also worth a look. And the MacBook Pro should not be dismissed since you can install windows on it easily.

Another option is to buy a cheap laptop and connect remotely to your machine at home.
