Where to get a new laptop?

[Shirtbird]

My friend want to buy a new laptop for gaming but he doesnt know where to buy one. He can spend up to $1500 on it. Any help is freatly appreciated.

Well I guess he could look around on Alienware. It's hard to get a gaming laptop for under $1500. Under 1500, and you'll probably get intel extreme graphics, with 256-512 ram, an a 1.3-1.6 Ghz Processor.

Well, for me, laptops aren't for gaming... But, the Alienware Area 51 7700 is probably the best you can buy if you are looking for a gaming notebook. It will also set you back close to $4000.00 for the highest end notebook.

I read on their site that the us military uses those notebooks for mobile mission planning exercises. They also play HL2 when their not kicking some third world countries @SS! j.k

I found a really good site www.cyberpowersystem.com

AMD 3700+
1 gig of buffalo/kingston/corsair ram
60gb 7200rpm hard drive
15 inch lcd
sis chipset mobo

for $1538

3700 is unncessary, 3200 is enough

i'm assuming it's using a 9700?

a 9700pro would be enough to play HL2, but i don't know about the 9700

Its using a 9700 Pro, btw how long do you think the 9700 Pro will last for future games? thanks

 

[diabloII]

a 9700pro will work for HL2 (lower settings?) and maybe low settings on other games like farcry

the 9700pro is already way outdated

the new stuff are the go6800 series by nVidia
