Best Gaming Custom Laptop

mkjaekmi · 07-22-2008, 07:55 PM

So what do you guys think is the best gaming laptop overall?

The alienware area-51 m17x. It provides a combination of a 2.8ghz intel core 2 duo extreme processor, dual sli nvidia 8800m gtx graphics cards, and room for two internal hard drives, 500gb each, and a third as a swap drive. The ability to use the swap drive for a second battery and its sleek looks make it the best. It also has lightfx, which allows it to have build in leds in 5 places including the keyboard, and unlike the dell xps, the keyboard can be any one of 12 colors, not just white.

ASUS G1Sn-XX.

The ASUS G1Sn series is under $1500 and will run anything on the market. It also has eSATA and beautiful display. Oh and a free 1 year accidental warranty and 2 year standard warranty.

I have it and I love the thing.

That as an nvidia 9500 graphics card.. That's like an nvidia 8600. o.o

Sager NP9262. Hands down. I'm typing this on one right now, I got a Intel Q9550 and 2 8800M GTX's in SLI. I canceled my Alienware M17x order for one of these, and I couldn't be happier with it. Plus, the Sager is hundreds of dollars cheaper for the same, if not better, config.

Interesting. Many chose falcon yet no explanations?

I'm actually stuck between sager/falcon... possibly alienware but there expensive.

I also noticed the new Sager 9262 has nvidia 9800 graphic card!?!? Is this true?

My friend has that Asus and its great.

But two is always better than one.

And out of that Poll, go with the Sager, everything else is just cheap.

Yep it's true, you get can get 2 9800GT's in SLI. The 9800GTX's are due in late August.

thats crazy. If I buy the sager, would I be able to upgrade the graphic cards on my own> or would I have to ship it to the company for them to upgrade it for me?
