Need some opinions on a good gaming laptop

Just get the M17x alienware laptop

It is rated as the best one, and one of the cheapest gaming laptops. Its the laptop i'm gonna get.

"Gaming" + "Laptop" = Strange concept; why not just get a small gaing computer?

We have no space in our house for another desktop and I also travel a lot. I'm also usually in contact with annoying people jabbering to me while I'm trying to play so if that's the case then I'll just pick it up and move to a different spot in the house.

And Gauz, I know its one of the best ones on the market however I disagree about it being the cheapest. In Canada (for me) I have to pay $2199 (+more for any upgrades) for it while its about $1799 in the U.S.

EDIT: Just found this one on futureshop:

It looks better and its cheaper. Which one would be best?

Hmm... thats a bugger; the problem with laptops is you'll pay for a good one and it'll never manage the next wave of games...

To be honest justice, I'd get a cheaper one and play old games; they're are frickin' loads of really decent ones

But I already have Starcraft...

I also found another one that seems better and cheaper that I gave a link to in one of the above posts.

I don't know if that one is better, just look up some proffesional reviews for it and compare what hardware it has compared to other gaming laptops.

Try a place called Smooth Creations, gaming computers and awesome paint jobs. Plus they are very customisable. I mean Core i7 975 with a GTX 280 customisable

The smell of $$$ is wafting over...

what was the budget 4-4500 the best one is 3500 with a GTX 280 and an i7 920 plus an epic paint job

However I'm limited to Canadian vendors only

try ordering it from the manufacturers website and having it sent to you.....

Hmm anyone have Dawn of War 2? If so how would the alienware laptop fare for running it? Its specs are on the front page.

I could upgrade the machine if necessary.

I'd say you would be fine
