Best Gaming Laptop for $1,000 - $1,200?

[[m'kay]]

I will! Thanks again, and thanks MT for opining this. And a special thanks to Narg/(Mkay) for, what could be, a taste of his future book release of "Computers, software and other [poo] for Dummies".

I wanted to photoshop a picture of a Hell's Angel riding an Alienware computer, but it was going to be way too much effort.

Thanks [m'kay] and Wulf, I heard about the cooling thing. How bout Toshiba Qosmio?

I don't know too much about Toshiba PC's but ill be honest, whenever you know what brands are good, you don't tend to go to something you don't know.
And again different types of brands tend to be used for different types of things.

About alienware, narg summed it up pretty well, but to give more details, alienware reminds me much of Icrap products.
They may be stylish, but you get bored of that after a month or 2, you get accustomed to it, second of all like wulf said, overpriced, paying more for the same components because their alienware?
Alienware has besides this a bad reputation regarding duration and the cost and time of getting your components fixed if something breaks down, even under warranty.
Oh and WD have i mentioned(if this hasn't changed) that alienware is owned by Dell?

I received the ASUS Gaming computer, got my data transfered, and had to reload BF2, but found I lost a disc for it, sooo....had to buy another BF2 disc on ebay tonight. I cannot wait to see what this thing does with Verizon FIOS IP service. The computer guy acted like he had a 'woody' using my laptop..total computer geek, but a great guy. He said it was 'very speedy'. I guess that's good coming from him.

Rechecked the link Yan gave me. The same computer just went up on Newegg by over $150.00!

Thanks again Yanoda!

If you're buying SWBF2 again anyway, you could always get it on Steam. No discs necessary.

How much?

[THEWULFMAN]

Usually $10, but it goes on sale for $5 or even $2.50 sometimes.

You can also look at office depot, they generally have a few copies at their bargain games bin for about $5-10.
