no... far to much for a laptop,,

edit; nevermind you cant cut that laptop down it doesnt allow single graphics

as much as i hate dell, i might convince myself to get an XPS laptop (saving a grand)

is enough for high gaming on BF2/2142,,

could proberly make a whole new Desktop with the £1k you save :)

3447.95 for a gaming laptop is in my opinion a big waste of money. Alienware are well known for overpriced system.

I would follow the advice of Scinto.

i hate laptops so i have no comment. but you know i felt like posting anyway. Drop the almost 4 grand on two desktops and give one to your best bud, than you and he could play bf2 all the time.

I agree. Only if you HAVE to have portablity, would you want to purchase a gaming laptop. Compared to PCs, laptops are 2x more expensive and 1/2 the power.

I'll stick with my first generation Game Boy for my portable games.

no fan of laptoppys

Re: What would you pay for this rig??

laptops werent made for gaming since they haeve a tendency to overheat alot...but i would pay maybe $1500 tops for it

[TheHairyYeti]

Re: What would you pay for this rig??

Wow that is a disgusting amount of money you are willing to blow. If you are going to spend that much, at least go for a Core 2 Duo, they are blowing AMDs out of the water. In my other thread I posted my specs of the Conroe system I built, although it is a desktop. I would go for a desktop and custom build it, it is far cheaper and they are better performers.

Re: What would you pay for this rig??

Thats almost $6000 AUD. Theres no way id pay that, i say you should buy a killer gaming rig with that amount of cash. And/or send some cash down my way.

Re: What would you pay for this rig??

wow, dual 7900gtx's in a laptop. Can you say, 10 minute battery life?

Re: What would you pay for this rig??

Yeah, I buy a killer gaming rig not a laptop. Unless you plan on not being at home or near your machine alot.

Re: What would you pay for this rig??

Oi don't slate me yet, i aint bought it.just seeing what you guys think thats all.
ok then,if you had 3500 to spend (£) list your rig!

Also space is an issue for me at the minute.My first child is due any day now and what was once my computer room is now filled with a cot and **** loads of cuddly toys hence the laptop consideration.

Re: What would you pay for this rig??

For that kind of money you could build a sweet pc gaming rig and have a laptop for portable needs.
