Straight to the point: I've narrowed my searches down to a few laptops. My goal was to not break the 1k barrier and with the m11x that goal is slightly feasible but then I have a lame processor but still a freakin' sweet laptop. So if you wouldnt mind scanning the specs and giving me an opinion on each or even just an opinion on which one is best buy for buck, then that'd be great. I'm basically trying to kick out what I dont need or is expensive and unnecessary. The computers over 1.5k are there but not exactly likely for a buy.
Here I go:

The first one, no question, no contest. i7 + Radeon 5730 will destroy any of the other laptops in games, period.



Logical? That was logical. The one with a Geforce 105M is a laughing stock as a gaming laptop. That card is nutless. The 4650 is low-midrange. That's out. The Alienware has a tiny screen and a Geforce 360M, which isn't bad, but is still handily outclassed by the 5730, not to mention that the i7 will brutally slaughter that Core 2, overclockable or no. You just try doing some work on that itty bitty screen. Get used to squinting.



Asus is also top-tier when it comes to hardware reliability. The two things that matter most (CPU and video card since RAM is pretty equal across the board) are best in the Asus. End of story.

1- i was amazed of how organized everything looked all in white! VIVA MEXICO! 2 Giovanni, well....he's just not, where he needs to be (level-wise).. i think he tries too hard to make his plays look good. he needs to focus more on defining the plays.. 3 Rafa is amazing! everytime he got hit, I WOULD hold my breath hoping he didn't get hurt, you can tell that he's the captain of the team, even without the band around his shoulder. 4 vela is by far the best striker/forward we have in mexico at the moment! he's going to be a great "futbol" player! 5 Luis ernesto perez had a hell of a game... i think he could earn a spot on the team if he continues to play the way he did today.. 6 idk mann.... pavel looked really hurt, hope he gets well though.. 7 magallon's goal was awesome, it looked like one of those cool goals u see in high profile european games! great goal. 8 Guardado i... its just unexplainable how good he is... arce, i thought played pretty good.. i like him where he's at.. 9 i was against vuoso too... but now im starting to think he could help us win games (coming off the bench of course) i think he'll be a pretty good sub. 10 idk if that was the smartest thing to do.. play when ur hurt, loosing by 3 goals against a team far superior..... anyways he's got some ballls!!

Alienware m11x. They are famous for gaming laptop, and are probably very reliable from the research I've done.
