Laptops are for convenience, not for gaming.
There are many laptops made for gaming. The one I use, I got for about $800 at newegg.com, and it plays the game fine. I bought it when the game first came out, so I'm looking to upgrade now, but I specifically bought it using the specs listed for FFXIV, and I definitely didn't need to pay $2000.
I don't have any suggestions; I just wanted to put that out there before anyone got discouraged from getting a laptop if that's what they really want to play on. :\
