So, right now, I'm playing FFXIV on my laptop. It's not new necessarily, but it's not super old. I got it back in December of 2012 for Christmas. It works alright, but it's a pretty significant step down from what I really want. I can play it at a resolution of 1920x990 (something like that) in windowed mode, but the graphic settings are too low for my liking. The highest amount of FPS I can get in an unpopulated area is around 20-30 FPS. My desktop is absolutely impossible to use. I don't know its specs, but the fact that it's from 2009 is enough to tell me I won't be gaming on it any time soon. The only MMO I play is FFXIV, and the rest of the time I mostly just use it for general things like Tumblr and whatnot.
In case you need them, my current laptop specs are:
Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-3632QM CPU @ 2.20GHz
Installed memory (RAM): 8.00 GB
System type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
Display adapters: AMD Radeon HD 7730M / Intel ® HD Graphics 4000
I don't know if that's enough information or even the correct information, but that's what I got from the Control Panel>System.
Really what I'd like is to play FFXIV with the best graphics possible. As in, the best graphics possible (without hindering gameplay, naturally). My budget is probably around $700-$900, possibly $1000 (though definitely no guarantee on that one). Also, I use Razer Game Booster to launch FFXIV, though I'm not really sure if it actually helps or not. I'm not really picky about brand or anything. I haven't had any hits elsewhere and the people on this site are so friendly and helpful I thought I'd try my luck here.
