I need a laptop!!!!

IBuyPower.com > Alienware

You can get something with similar specs for at $500 - $1000 less than Alienware. Obviously building a computer yourself is the best option, but that's not practical for everyone... 'specially for laptops.

However, I still think putting the words "gaming" and "laptop" together is far from ideal. You get a laptop for portability/convenience. You get a desktop if you want actual power for tasks like gaming, a/v editing, etc.
 
I disagree. You don't need a desktop for casual gaming. If you plan on using a laptop for multi tasking,graphic processing, and playing games with maxed out settlings then yes. If you're a casual gamer then it's definitely possible to use your laptop for your gaming. Sure the settings won't be maxed out and it may not look as good, but it'll get the job done in the end.

I've never bought a pre-built pc because there's no greater satisfaction than building your own. I'm planning on building a brand new rig myself. The only reason I'm held up is because the price for a pair Gigabyte HD 4870x2's, and the nickel EK water blocks for their GPU's is outrageously expensive. Might have to go with the DD block. >=S
 
Alright, casual gaming's fine on laptops, I'll give you that... I just find it odd when people spend so much money on a high-powered laptop to play stuff like Crysis as they's essentially paying twice as much as they would for a desktop.

I consider these to be not hardware-intensive tasks and perfectly fine for laptops. Get into compositing, 3d editing, and a/v editing... that's what I meant by needing real power. Plus, laptop monitors are the last thing you want to be doing that on.

And Jesus Christ, Barry. You always have the most high-end stuff, whether it's computers or entertainment centers. I want your kind of income. xD
