    Need advice on gaming notebook with 7970m

    Hi everyone, finally i have the chance to bring a laptop from USA (im from chile) and i dont wanna miss this opportunity i have around 1800~2000 us dollars to spend that includes shipping on USA.

    So basically im looking for some models that includes the ati 7970m i have until the next friday (no tomorrow) to get it. So any suggestions on buying within the next week would be awesome

    EDIT: Almost forgot about the specs, 8gb ram, 500gb+ hdd, dont really care about the optic unit i mean no bd and the screen MUST be 17.3" and it would be nice if the i7 processor is 3rd generation

    Everything you want is already in the options besides the 7970. Upgrade the CPU to whatever you can afford.

    Total: $1,718 with the specs you wanted.

    Digitalstorm has great rep. You can even go to their forums and ask for help on a build.

    Does it have to have a 7970m? I'm having a hard time finding one that will ship fast.

    Okay I found an Alienware M17X R4 on Ebay that has a 7970m and everything you want. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Alienware-M1...item337814f692

    You can get it fast choosing the faster shipping options.

    There's also this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Alienware-M1...item3378203db8

    Same laptop but cheaper because it has no killer wireless add on.

    They don't even have an SSD, you'll be better off with the one I linked.

    So no, it's not everything he wants.

    An ssd is really expensive in terms of gb per $, so people normally have a mid sized SSD for the games they play the most, and a harddrive with lots of space for movies/games they play occasionally. The reason an ssd is more expensive is because of the technology used to achieve very low access times and write/read speeds, making loading games and your OS much much faster.
