  I don't think there's such a thing. It's like asking what's the best
car that allows you to fly from New York to Tokyo in the shortest time.
There's no such thing.

  I recently bought a new PC which would be capable of running modern
games such as Skyrim at full details. The graphics card (GTX 560) alone
is a monster. It looks like something you could find in a nuclear reactor
or something. (Try a google image search for "asus gtx 560" to get some
idea about what I'm talking about.)

  Do you expect something like that to fit inside a laptop?

  Laptops have integrated graphics chips which are usually way, way less
powerful than the monsters intended for desktop PCs.
