Buying new gaming laptop spending limit 2000

[Rawked]

I have been looking online everywhere for laptops and i cant decide which to buy. What i do know is i want a SSD as a primary drive, i7 processor, and a 15inch display. financing is my form of payment as dropping 2k in one day hurts my bank. Any other websites that offer financing would help too.

alienware.com mx14 or higher.

Um so what are your expectations? Are you trying to play BF3/Skyrim and everything new on max settings with 60 fps? Or are you trying to play WoW on High settings? If you already know you want a 15 inch with an SSD an I7 doesnt sound like you need to think anymore except what kind of mobile video card or peripherals you want built in.

Only and only if he surpasses the cpu/gpu, otherwise hardware is hardware and both asus/msi have top of the line cooling for laptops compared to most.

So I just customized a Sager Netbook, for $1,674... I got some killer specs:

15.6" Full HD LED backlit display 1920x1080 MATTE finish (Thank God)
GTX 670M
i7-3720QM
7 HP 64 bit
8GB 1600MHz RAM
Crucial m4 128GB SSD
8x DVD drive


And you automatically get an integrated finger print reader for security.

So obviously there's still a good $300~ left if you wanted to up anymore of this.

Whether it be better networking card in there, higher CPU, higher GPU, more RAM, No-Dead-Pixel insurance, better TIM paste to keep CPU and GPU chips cool, higher Windows 7 license, bigger SSD, Blu-Ray drive (wouldn't say worth it).... yeah. Lots of options.

$1970~ w/ a 680m

ehhh.... I've heard of some people finding this to not be the truth. Asus put out a whole line of laptops with very poor cooling... so...

Cyanotical's laptop is actually a Sager, if I recall right, it looked really very slick and I would certainly *NOT* mind having one, at all. In fact I think whenever I get a proper job, my next big $1,000+ investment will be one of these laptops.

I just got a laptop from Malibal, paid 2100 for a 256gb SSD and a 680M video card. A lot of people say the 7970 M is a better deal but they have poor switching tech and heard some people are having problems, and I had the money to afford a 680M.. so whatever. Anyway, I'd recommend Malibal, Id also say go for a 17" over a 15, the wight isnt that different, and a 17" screen is small as it is, wish Clevo was still making 18.4" laptops, Alienwares 18 is WAY too expensive.
