    Working a lot..need a good laptop

    I got a new job that requires me to do quite a bit of traveling. I am getting a laptop from my company, but I do not want to put WoW on it, so I've decided to buy a laptop just for gaming. What are your suggestions on a laptop and the ideal customization for the said laptop? Thank you in advance!

    P.S. I know desktops = better gaming :P

    Sounds like price is not a major issue, take a look at this one. Use the extra $500 to upgrade it.

    You can get the same thing, only more upgrades, from the Sager NP8170. And I trust Sager with gaming laptops.

    Except the laptop posted by Eight had a desktop CPU in it at 3.2 ghz, even if its the first gen i7 thats still interesting.

    If you want good gaming, look for a laptop with a second-gen Icore processor and the GTX560m, though these will turn out to be decently heavy most of the time packing 17 inch screens.
