Post Laptops for Gaming
Anyone reccomend any good Gaming Laptops that are out there?

Was kinda looking at the Alienware M11x but i aint all that great with Computer Specs.
And yeh i know that Desktop Gaming > Laptop but i wanna take it with me when i go on holiday or just chill in the living room. :D
My price range is under £1000, lower the better ha.

Heres a link to the M11x i was looking at:

So give me your advice! :ugeek:

Edit: Wish i had £1000k :oops:

Wouldn't go with alienware tbh, overpriced for what you get.

Take a look at the dell inspirons - you can usually customise those no end - When I got my last laptop I called them as well and ordered over the phone - they give u a few options you can't get online

This one doesn't look too bad for £800 - i5 processor and semi-decent graphics card

Altho....it is 17" not 11" - but do you rly wanna play games on a screen that small?

There is also a 15" version

When you're looking at buying something like a gaming laptop you need to think about what games exactly you are going to be playing on it. No point in paying big money for something that can play crysis/dragonage origins on max when all you're gonna play on it is Starcraft and TF2. :?

I would suggest Dell also.. we recently bought a laptop from them and have been very impressed.

I would go with a Vostro though.. http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/topics/topic.aspx/emea/segments/bsd/vostro-3700?c=uk&cs=ukbsdt1&l=en&s=bsd

They are meant for small business users but you can buy for home use. Only difference is a 'company name' box to fill in when you buy online (just make something up), nothing else. The Vostro are better spec for the money and also have a discount atm..

The one we got was £600 (after vat), runs everything better than my desktop which was considerably more expensive, its light enough to carry around if you need to and very well built. Well recommended.

I also had some good experiences with Dell laptops and gaming...but when the grafic card got fried after the warranty ended it was all over :(

Unfortunately, these days the gpu chips on those vostros are next to worthless, you can get a same spec studio 17 except with a Moblility HD5650 1gb for about 50 quid more from the Dell home site.
