The one you linked first time 'round is the P35Wv2, which was the one I was looking into, but the one you've linked just there is the P35Gv2, which is nearly identical except it has a step down in terms of the GPU, it uses a 860M rather than the 870M the W model has. Not that big a deal, but I...

Lol, that'd be why I can't find it. Don't know why I didn't consider the possibility that it hadn't been released yet. I'll be sure to check it out when it does release and see if it lives up to its apparent glory. Cheers.

The gigabyte one does seem to have the best stats, but I can't find it on amazon. I'm not really sure/haven't had much experience with other online computer retailers, so I'm open to some suggestions on that front. The laptop needs to be shipped to NY, if that makes any difference. I also...

Hmm, I'm a bit hesitant about buying/using a computer that's been modified by someone other than myself. I might have a peek around but I think I would prefer to stick with a factory built-laptop and then potentially expand myself. I do know that there should be at least one free ram slot and a...

Yeah, I would figure. I used to ignore them completely because I had a high end rig I built, but now I have to leave it behind/sell it and move out to university, so it'd be a bit more practical to have a laptop that can game rather than a desktop. Thanks for the help, though. I'll still be...

Alright, that's boosted my view of the GT60 a bit. Anyone else have any opinions/suggestions?

Hm, I was leaning a bit towards the GT60. It's a real pity I can't find the Dominator Pro in a non-3K display, because I would've preferred the extra power, but oh well. How's the fan noise without the cooler-booster? Both when under low and high load? I only ask because a high pitched loud...

Hello folks! Just like to ask for some opinions about gaming laptops I've found, but I'm also open to any suggestions people may have. To start off with, lemme just describe what I want out of the laptop, as sort of a baseline. I'll put in bold and underline the key bits for those that don't...

Alright, so unless there's any glaring problems, I'm going for the Audio Technica AD-700s, with the Zalman Zm-Mic1 microphone, with the Asus Xonar DX sound card. Thanks for all the help.

I may just end up buying a soundcard now, as it's proving rather difficult to find a good external DAC. I'm looking at Asus' Xonar line, but have a hard time deciding which one, as they're all rather similar, the ones under $100 anyways.

I do have my own 2.1 speakers, and the audio from them is quite nice, but as Apokalipse said, headsets, microphone AND headphone combinations, are not as good quality as headPHONES, which are just purely for listening. And I want headphones because I like the privacy of what I'm listening to...

These external DACs, are they sort of like external sound cards?

Alright, I'll probably go for the AD700's then, in that case. Would it be beneficial if I bought a sound card, or would my onboard audio, a Realtek ALC 892, be good enough for the AD700's?

Yeah, I assumed that normal electronic stores don't really carry those brands, the only ones I've seen are Sennheisers, and even then there's not much. Although I have learned to stay away from brands like Skullcandy. Huh. I never knew noise cancelling headphones did that, I assumed they just...

Alright, so I won't really have to spring for a sound card then, which is good. I'm no audiophile, could you explain what emulated means, in terms of surround sound? Okay, so surround is pretty much out of the question. It was an interesting thought though. xD Is it bad I've never heard of any...
