Im using a toshiba A500-200 model i think.
Its running an i-5 intel core 2.27ghz with 4gb ram
That runs everything i every need for it gameing and none gaming wise, i havent tried high end games like on it but MW2 runs just fine on high graphics.
it cost me like $1200AU

Hell no. While Alienware is decent enough, it's way overpriced. I'd steer clear from it.SnootyEnglishman said:
Anyway, I've been hearing good things about this [http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152207] laptop. I'd still advice against it though, and get a desktop PC; you can get more performance for way less.
Hell no! First of all, it's screen is tiny. 11"? I think 15.4" is pretty small already, go figure.Hokutan said:
It also lacks a proper, dedicated video card; that Integrated Intel GMA 3150 is, as it says, an intergrated video card, and they pretty much always suck.
Last but not least, it's CPU is rather underpowered. A 1.3 Ghz dual core? Puhlease... My 600 euro laptop is better than this thing, it's thing is almost twice it's cost.
You might also want to take a look at this laptop [http://www.dell.com/us/en/home/notebooks/laptop-studio-xps-16/pd.aspx?refid=laptop-studio-xps-16&cs=19&s=dhs], especially that second configuration with the HD 5730. If you're willing to shell out 50 extra bucks for that third configuration you can get an even beefier CPU.
It's a Dell though, but I can't say I know much about their reputation on the area of laptops, just desktops.
First of all does it need to be a laptop? you will get a much better gaming rig for the same price if you go with a tower. But if you insist on a laptop go with a Toshiba Qosmio or something along those lines, alienware are are generally way overpriced (and owned by dell).Hokutan said:
Just edited that post you quoted me from, and I made a post before that with another link. Mind you, I'm not a super-duper expert either, but I've been around a bit. I do think that those 2 models offer you what you want, way better than that crappy AlienWare thing.Hokutan said:
Whatever you do don't buy a laptop for gaming I've had one and I had to take care of it way too much ot broke all the time and it was just not a good idea.Here in Bulgaria laptops are 3 times more expensive than normal PCs so if that is the case in your country just don't buy one.Only Good thing for laptops is that I found that you can write much faster and it's better for a writer to get one.
