2 years ago i bought an asus laptop that i thought would flawlessly run any game, forever, no consequences, and for the low price of ~1k dollars. This, i learned today, was a fairytale id been telling myself. The computer clicked its last click immediatly after the pts client finished downloading, so sad :,(
A moment of silence for my fallen companion.

Ok moving on. I forsaw this a short while ago, so i have been saving. I have 2-3 grand (7.5 grand but id rather not blow that all at once if i can avoid it) that i am willing to drop on a new rig.
Problem, i dont know jack all about hardware.
So, my question is, what should i buy?
My ideal computer is a laptop that can run mwo perfectly at the highest setting, and still have enough juice left that i could have wow and maplestory open in the background simultaneously (not that i will, but i want that much wiggle room so that i wont have to worry about the computers survival in a normal game like my last one.
Auxillary features arent as inportant to me, but let me tell you about the environment this laptop will have to survive, my garage. Im in S. California so it gets upwards of 110-130 degrees farenheit in my garage. Also, i smoke, a lot, while piloting my mech. I cant imagine the ash and smoke are great for my computers interior. It will also need to be sturdy, because it will be traveling with me to and from school in my backpack.
I am vaguely open to suggestions for desktops, however i hate the fact that it doesnt travel, so if you insist that desktops are the only things that can perform at the capacity i want, and in the garage environment i described, then please suggest litterally THE most bad*** desktop that you can think of, because otherwise, i probably wont even consider it.
If accessories are required i will gladly get them if its in budget.
Now i know what yall are are thinking, "wow naterist, your asking a lot." Yes, i am, and im sorry about that.. I was hoping to be able to do the research myself, however, im not to bright computerwise, and my current class on computer software isnt helping much either because its a 101 class, and my teacher doesnt keep up with new hardware. Hes still stuck in the 90's when computers were the size of a little girls doll house. And last request, id like to buy the computer, ready to be turned on and played on. I dont understand computer upgrades and i dont trust myself enough to try with upwards of 2000 dollars worth of equipment.
Thank you, please help me :')
Edit: shoutout to the mwo technical rep who originally forsaw problems with my laptop, i actually thought i was hunky dory and the servers were glitching out until he walked me through everything and explained it. I forsaw nothing, he knew everything.
