Gaming Laptop suggestions
Hey for those computer people out there I am looking for a new laptop to replace my Toshiba Satellite, cause the graphics card in it is crap. I play a lot of sims (i know I'm a geek) and Fable, and racing games so I need a decent graphics card with decent ram. What I don't need is to spend $1500 on one, so if you guys have any ideas that are in the cheapter range I would love to hear them. Thanks in advance.

another brightonite, perhaps not the same one though.
I recently bought a laptop, an acer, it's probably not up to scratch for your uses but the range is extremely good value so would recommend checking out their range. |
Hmm that's the second time Acer has been brought up during my search, what are the specs of yours?
|
Here's some high-performance laptops, under $1000. :-)

While I'm not particularly up to date on mobile GPUs, these seem to have rather interesting options around that price range in 15" or 17":
http://www.alienware.com/products/no...computers.aspx Personally i find 17" too much, but if mobile gaming is your thing dual 3870s at $1650 looks appealing: http://www.alienware.com/customize/M...de=SKU-DEFAULT Then again i'm unsure if those can top a nice single chip nvidia, I guess some research would be needed. |

Your links have brought me trouble in the best possible way. I think the M-17 is just calling my name for me to buy. :mrgreen: |
Alienware cost a lot.
What I would get is one of Dell's XPS 1530(or w/e it is now) laptops, they come with nice/okay graphics for around $1200. |
Yeah I have discovered that, in attempting to customize one with the stuff I want it was coming up to over 2 grand, and that is waaayyyy more then I am willing to spend. I shall go now and check out the Dell XPS. :)
Edit: I have now checked out the XPS and it is nice, I am going to continue searching, and see if I can get a bit closer to my target price. :) Appreciate all the help and suggestions you guys are giving me and keep em coming. |
Alienware has become a lot cheaper ever since being acquired by Dell, in the end it really depends on what people are specifically looking for, however it does seem like certain options are a lot more $ on Alienware; ie Dell has a great deal with the memory on the 1530. On the other hand if you want 17", it seems AW is the way to go both price and performance wise. Again, I would read a lot of reviews before going with any of the two.

nothing beat the gateway P-172XL in terms of value to money |

Looks like a good choice, not from that guy though, his feedback is not so good. Checking out Gateway's website now... :) It's amazing really all the choices that I never thought of and now it comes down to reviews and value for money, oh and the actual cost, lol |
