First, will you explain why you want a gaming laptop? Aemon Send a noteboard - 25/04/2011 10:17:22 PM
I ask because buying two machines (a gaming desktop, and a low-end laptop) is usually the better way to go. For $500-$700, you can build a desktop system that will beat the pants off any $1000 laptop, and still have money left over for a netbook/tablet/low-end laptop. If you get a desktop (particularly if you build your own), you also get redundancy, reliability, upgradeable and brand name components, etc.

Unless you absolutely must game while on the go, I'd strongly recommend building a desktop, and buying a low-end laptop for mobile internet/word processing.

To add to Aemon's point Roland00 - 26/04/2011 03:20:47 AM 855 Views
One last thing Roland00 - 26/04/2011 03:42:33 AM 739 Views
some of us just don't want a desktop LadyLorraine - 26/04/2011 07:33:05 AM 770 Views
Which is fair enough, I just think it's an unusual viewpoint. Aemon - 26/04/2011 06:14:58 PM 726 Views
I'm special. I effectively tank with a touch pad. LadyLorraine - 26/04/2011 11:24:17 PM 733 Views
Ah, you're one of THOSE tanks. On behalf of WoW players everywhere, I hate you. Aemon - 26/04/2011 11:34:06 PM 729 Views
What do you mean I'm one of THOSE tanks? I don't key-turn! LadyLorraine - 27/04/2011 06:40:54 PM 705 Views
Pretty sure that consistent touch pad use would give me carpal tunnel. *NM* Zalis - 27/04/2011 02:19:09 PM 324 Views

I got a gaming laptop about a year ago beetnemesis - 26/04/2011 05:09:54 AM 752 Views
much appreciated... KingGeedorah - 26/04/2011 10:36:22 AM 773 Views
Sounds good. Keep in mind that buying a low-end laptop doesn't mean you can't game on the go. Aemon - 26/04/2011 05:41:07 PM 914 Views
A few words based on experience. Myrdhyn - 26/04/2011 06:19:53 PM 853 Views
It's not as bad as all that. Aemon - 26/04/2011 08:35:52 PM 916 Views
Forgot to mention Roland00 - 26/04/2011 07:17:58 PM 731 Views
Definitely worth mentioning, but there's always something better just a couple months down the road. *NM* Aemon - 26/04/2011 07:39:33 PM 349 Views
Less than 3 months is very different than 1 year later Roland00 - 26/04/2011 08:06:34 PM 776 Views
True enough. Aemon - 26/04/2011 08:49:07 PM 735 Views
