Hmm my question is why Dell only? I'm not really a fan of their product line (Dell/Alienware). I would have to say the kind of computer you would need is one with a dedicated graphics card.

If you can find an MSi midrange machine, Alienware, Dell, Asus, Lenovo (all with dedicated graphics cards), then you should be fine. In regards to dell, the only thing that comes to mind are their XPS line or their Alienware machines.

However, since you only want to play PES and FIFA, you should do fine on just regular Intel integrated graphics.

What's your price range, I mean the absolutely highest you are willing to spend.

Unfortunately, at that pricepoint, you are not going to get something extraordinary. But here are a few computers that should be able to play FIFA (It's not a very demanding game anyways):

Battery is important but not the foremost...the laptop specification vis a vis your needs,Specs first, external neatness and functionality test and Battery..a battery can always be replaced so it is not the foremost to me but it important too

Screen, keyboard and dvd rom performance can be easily ascertained. grin But to avoid buying laptop with 'VGA' problem or one whose battery won't charge beyond 56% or 69%, you need a reliable seller. cool
