What is the best gaming laptop?

I want to buy my fiance a gaming laptop for Christmas but I have read both good and bad reviews about most of the laptops I have looked at (Alienware, Batallion, and MSI). He plays World of Warcraft a lot, along with other role playing games. He wants to be able to play the new Diablo (if it ever comes out). I am looking to stay under $2000 preferably around $1500. Looking for at least a 17", with a lot of space and a really nice processor.

1. I've heard great things about the Alienware products and I think you cant go wrong with buying one of those.


2. go to www.alienware.com they have really good gaming PCs.

   its all about the alien ware PCs! xD lol

   and no you cant go wrong with these PCs, your fiance will love it guaranteed.



3. Dell and Asus is the best gaming laptop ever i seen.

   check these ones out :D



5. If you want to spend $5000 or more, then a Falcon Northwest DRX http://www.falcon-nw.com/laptops/drx

   If you want to spend more like $2000, then a Sager NP7280 http://www.sagernotebook.com/index.php?page=product_info&model_name=NP7280

   The Sager is probably the better choice, from the budget I would guess you are working within. Why? Because not only is it a powerful gaming laptop at that price, but it can be upgraded like a desktop as time passes. You can add more ram (up to 24gb), you can replace the video card with a more powerful one... and even add a second video card for more power and performance. The unit will accept up to three hard drives... and the best part is that this laptop uses a desktop processor, offering you the widest range of performance processors out there... up to a 6 core/12 thread 3.46ghz processor.

   So, it's a gaming laptop, and it will provide excellent performance at that base price of $2000. It can be upgraded as he wants more performance in the future, and you aren't paying a premium price for just the brand name, like you would for an Alienware.



6. I would go with the alienware m17x. It's got a crazy fast i7 processor, 17 inch 1080p screen with 16 gb ram and a 1000gb hard drive. All for about 1700$. You can tweak it to make it cost less or more depending on what you want but it's amazing.

   It is always best to go with laptops that have lots of favorable reviews.

   The following two 17" Gaming laptops have +4 star rating with +15 reviews each

   and are in the price range of $1200 to $1600.

   a. Asus - http://goo.gl/8zNQS

   b. Toshiba - http://goo.gl/FoSQt

   I would definitely suggest choosing one that has a lot of favorable reviews

   In any case Asus has an advantage for gaming.
