Buying a gaming laptop

[TheDiceman]

if you want a gaming machine use a PC
NOT A LAPTOP

whats wrong with some people?

who plays games on a blimmin laptop! Jesus

Just enough people to barely keep Alienware in business, lol.

It looks apparent that the guy doesnt want a desktop, so stop telling him to get one.

All in all the Alienware m9700 is the best gaming laptop you can get. It has SLI, the option of RAID, and many other things you often wont find on some desktops. Yes it does not have a BLU-Ray Drive but whens the last time you were gaming and thought, WOW! I wish I had a BLU-Ray drive instead of 2 gigs of RAM. The Sony PSP suggested is not a gaming laptop. It is a s**t picker upper laptop.

So adroc use this link for the best gaming laptop out there

and I hope you take our expert advice and get the M9700
dibs on it if you die

Wouldn't the mALX technically be the best gaming laptop you can get? Not that anyone can practicaly afford one.

PSP you have no idea do you? A Core Duo wont really help you much in games if its lagged behind by not enough ram, a slow HD and a 7600GT. That Alienware will eat your laptop for dinner, throw it up and have it for lunch the next day. Period. Also that Sony has Media Center edition which isnt that great for games either. IT works yes, but not the best. Also, why recomend a desktop when he SPECIFICALY asked for a GAMING LAPTOP.

lol,k...

but anyways, if you want a good laptop get this

why a laptop

first thanks for all the posts. i didnt expect that many. and the reason i want a laptop is because i am always gone and really never home. right now i am in canada and next month i will be in Arizona. I always have a super fast connection but need a laptop to keep me happy while i am out there.

what about widow, northwest, and voodoo?

thanks again
