I'm not that au fait with gaming though I do know it's been said that laptops in general are not great for gaming. You're stuck with a small monitor (unless you can hook up to a TV or summat) the processors are not terribly powerful and the keys, mouse and so forth all quite fiddly and upgrading is at best a bitch and at worst impossible. So if you're serious about getting a gaming machine I would think, unless there's a good reason why not, you should go for a desktop PC, and you'll definitely get a good asskicker for under a grand.
Things to look out for: decent graphics card with good memory, also good memory on the computer, good monitor (nothing under 17 inch and really you're looking at starting at 24) and of course the most powerful processor you can get.

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j...H22yncK4_iirfQ The Alienware is generally about 1500.00. I'd say if you're willing to pay a grand i'd save a bit more and splurge. |

Alienware are the Cadillacs of laptops, only for those with more money than sense. Or rich parents. Very rich parents. Who love their children.
I lose on all counts.

The one I'm currently considering is this one. By all accounts the graphics card is absolutely solid and a 2.5-3.5GHz processor alongside it is a very good deal for the price, at least from what I can tell. Have I hit some kind of computer blind spot and overlooked a terrible part of the specs here or does it look good enough to go for?
