Looking to buy a laptop...

[Celestial Bow]

I was wondering if any of you could help me find a good laptop for my needs, as I really don't know much about shopping for computers. I play a few games, mainly Guild Wars, but I would like the computer to have a pretty great graphics card, I would say top of the line but I have no idea how far that line goes. I am looking for plenty of memory and a quick computer that wont take forever to load my programs, and I would like it to be Vista. I would like it to be a very good laptop in general, and I am willing to spend up to 2,000$. If any of you could suggest a laptop, that would be wonderful. Thanks.

My personal suggestion is the Alienware Area-51 m15x. It is a 15 inch screen, but equally powerful as 17 inch laptops. I recently bought one of these and it has been the best laptop I have every had, with the exception of a few other alienware laptops I own, which I like equally much. With the default battery you can get about 2 and a half hours, with an extra battery up to seven. Very powerful laptop, starts at $1299 for the base model (which is still insane), but as you add options it adds up quick. Mine cost $4200 with one terabyte of memory and all the options. Check out the site:

Thanks, but I heard that Alienware is very over priced - I am not sure if this is true, but I have heard several people say that. Any other suggestions?

It doesn't seem to really be what I am looking for - that one seems like a good one for taking around with you, but not one for gaming or anything. Thanks though.

oh, you just want one for around the house for games....ect..
ok lemme find out what one will suit u best...
do u have a price range?

Jesus, he said he has about $2,000 to
spend on a laptop. Why not get a
desktop if you don't want one that you
carry around?

Well,

Try the Hp Laptops,

I bought mine for a bit over 1200 AUD .

320GB, 2 GIG Ram, Vista Premium.

Hope this helps.

I don't want a desktop - it's not that I don't want to carry it around at all, its that a small laptop that is made so its easy to carry around is not for me. I want a good laptop that is not just teeny and made so it can be carried.

Try the Dell ones

Cheap and you get a good graphic card.

^i would get that for the specs enthusiasts but the only downside is Gateway doesnt seem to make a lasting product

Check out the samsung r560 and samsung r610.

also there are good hp ones on new egg.

 

[twintip]

do not i mean DO NOT buy a hot pile of shit. in otherwords hp i think they are awful. but i think what would suit you best is this right here, [http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs...d=8198552921644586398&parentCategoryId=16154]
it as a sony vaio, i usually am running 3 rsbots, world of warcraft and fireworks on and have no lag at all. i suggest getting it optimized when buying. peace dude

ps if you buy that one you still have money to buy more stuff with it.

i got a hp for over a year now it still works great got a nvidia graphic card and 2gb ram

 

[cl0ck3d]

if you want mobility mini9 is where its at!

I suggest a customized HP. I can help you customize it, and then save around 20-40% on it. Just PM me ;-)
