Hi guys,
im in the market for a new gaming laptop and seeing how i am not very knowlegable in computer tech i need a bit of your help. I was going to buy the alienware 14x but, since i live in europe, it was $300 more expensive to buy (not including the shiping price which would end up being another $200...) and so the total number was around $2300. That was expensive for me. My budget is around 1500euros ($2000) and i would have to say that thats the max i will go. Now, i want to buy a good gaming laptop which can run newer games (i dont expect them to run on max settings but it would be nice if they could run on medium) and i will be using it mainly for gaming purposes. I looked at numerous laptops and their reviews and i cant seem to figure out which are the good ones because feedback on them is extreemly mixed... Here are the ones i picked out as best (from local dilers):

Please if you have any better laptops in mind post them;it will be much appreciated
Many thanks to you all who reply
 
I'd get the G74 if you can afford it. Only thing it slightly lacks in is the resolution, and maybe the hard drives but these aren't biggies. I have more faith in Asus than Toshiba, but I wouldn't be opposed to getting a Toshiba if I couldn't get an Asus/Samsung/MSI. Wish I had money for one of those haha.
