Build Your Own Gaming Notebook

I need help deciding on which laptop to buy and I have narrowed it down to three but they are all good laptops?

I am a fairly experienced laptop user and am looking for a replacement for my old gateway laptop. I am looking for something that is good for gaming but i also need something that is extremely Multimedia orientated as I am never in one place for vary long and have limited room to work with where ever i may be at that time making owning a tv or any other kind of home media center almost absurd... I have narrowed it down to three lap tops where each has its own advantage over one of the others... please help me 1: HP - Pavilion HDX9010NR Price: $1,799.99 With a 64-bit operating system, ATI Mobility RADEON HD 2600 XT graphics 256MB GDDR3 (dedicated); up to 1GB (total), 4 speakers and a Triple Bass Reflex subwoofer, this laptop provides a powerful multimedia and gaming experience.

1. I'd go with the gateway laptop. I'm pretty sure with that kind of performance it would be good for both gaming and multimedia


2. you got a tricky one here, if you want gaming stick with any of them but for multimedia macs are a lot better unless you buy programs for your pc which will help you a lot there is a lot of great new though for an option for a mac I've been reading alot about more games coming out for the mac hope this helps, since i have had a mac and pc, if i were you i would stick with macs


3. get ether hp and a sling box this would be perfect
