Buying a gaming laptop, need advice.

[IcEWoLF]

Well I narrowed down to two laptops.
I need some assistance on which one to get.

Here are the laptops:

[ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002QPWBY0/ref=oss_T15_product"]Amazon.com: Gateway P-7908u FX Edition 17-Inch Black Laptop - Up to 3 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Home Premium):?@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Vxg3AXRQL.@@AMEPARAM@@41Vxg3AXRQL[/ame]

Both are great laptops, but it seems like I am getting a bit more with the Gateway one, better graphics card, more HDD space, and a better gaming processor compared to the i7 920M.

Need some feedbacks.

IF you want a gaming laptop with power for gaming, have you thought about Alienware? I just purchased one for a friend and they really like it. I got a discount through work (7% off) but the final price was just over 4K. Lots of money for a laptop but it is an awesome machine!

I wouldn't want to buy anything past 1.7k maybe 2k...

You can get a similar spec Gateway in a Alienware for $1903 without a sale. Watch the net an you will find it coupons getting more to your liking. I would take a Alienware by Dell over Gateway. Alienware is the Gaming Laptop leader.

Edit: My work gets a discount which makes it $1642. Contact me via PM if you would like the link and passcode. I don't think any other verification will be needed.

Life is too short to be serious, laugh it up.



Can I second that? Any help for a beginner would be greatly appreciated.
Whens the next comp? I'm itching to see how I go.

How powerful of a gaming device do you want? You can get something that'll get it done for around $1k. Just don't expect to run a Crysis tech demo with it.

Alienware is a simple way to go though. You can get something quite powerful for under 2k (not counting tax and shipping.) I was able to configure this for just under 2k:
