daangelo29 5 Report post Posted April 1, 2009 I'm currently looking for a good gaming laptop that I can use for college ("gaming laptop" meaning a neat high-end laptop that would make me ditch this mini-PC of mine; and don't say go get a desktop PC instead). What I'm aiming for is a decent gaming laptop that no longer need customization or complete re-building to be a gaming laptop. Is this good? http://www.excaliberpc.com/588982/asus-g50...4-notebook.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daangelo29 5 Report post Posted April 1, 2009 Dell XPS M1530 Specs of Dell XPS M1530: 15.4-inch WXGA (1280 x 800) 2.2GHz Core 2 Duo T7500 processor 2GB DDR2-667 SDRAM (up to 4GB DDR2 SDRAM available) 160GB 5400 RPM SATA HDD (32GB SSD drive available) Slot-loading dual-layer DVD±RW drive NVIDIA GeForce Go 8600M GT with 256MB GDDR3 Integrated 2.0 megapixel webcam HDMI, VGA, S-Video, Firewire/1394, three USB 2.0 ports, integrated media reader (MS, SD, xD), fingerprint reader Media Center remote located in ExpressCard slot Windows Vista Home Premium Specs of ASUS G50Vt-A2: Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 (2.53GHz) Processor 15.4" WSXGA+ (1680x1050) Display 4GB DDR2 Memory 640GB (2 x 320GB 7200RPM) Hard Drive Blu-Ray Disc Drive NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GS 512MB Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit All I need is a laptop capable of heavy gaming. I don't necessarily need many neat features like fingerprint readers or Media Center remote supports since I really don't need them. Size -- small or large -- doesn't matter to me, but as for screens I prefer larger ones -- a max resolution of 1280 X 800 or higher would be nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daangelo29 5 Report post Posted April 1, 2009 you can customize em Exclude customization in my needs. I'll be buying the laptops outside the country, so if I ever buy a customizable laptop searching for parts will be hard if not impossible at the moment. Also I don't know if my dad would want me to waste that much for customization. I already put myself to too much trouble with customizable PCs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daangelo29 5 Report post Posted April 3, 2009 build one How can I "build" a laptop exactly? I know you can build laptops, but my point here is that here in my country the term "building a laptop" DOESN'T exist. I can order some in the net, but I don't think my dad would want to spend too much money on customizable laptops AND laptop parts. Any more suggestions other than customizable laptops and building laptops? I should have mentioned earlier that what I'm aiming for is a decent gaming laptop that no longer need customization or complete re-building to be a gaming laptop.
