If you were buying a laptop that could also play decent game

I am in the market for laptop that I can carry (so sub 7 lbs) and yet capable of playing very good games.
What would you recommend?
Is DELL a good buy or some nice mom and pop smaller brands like IBUYPOWER etc?

[MODS please move to ROAD WARRIORS forum]

THANKS

Re: If you were buying a laptop that could also play decent game

Well at 7.7 lbs I have the ASUS G50. It has been able to play any game I've tossed its way. In fact it has even replaced my desktop.

I don't think you can do much better for something that cost less than $1000.

You could also find some more info over here:

I wouldn't get any of tyhe junk that Dell/Alienware sells.

Likewise I wouldn't buy from IBuyPower as I know a few that have been burned by them on desktops.

I've heard some good things about »powernotebooks.com/

The egg as usual has a decent selection of laptops to choose from »www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLi···%3A45121

If you already have a copy of windows you can try System76 »system76.com/index.php?cPath=28 The Serval comes with the GTX260m, the Bonobo comes with the GTX280m

The radeon HD48 seres or the Geforce GTX2 series and the 9800GTX series GPUs will provide you with the gaming performance you with the gaming performance you're looking for.

Check out lenovo i currently have a Y730-40532AU - orange (P8400) witch is similar to the Y730 - 40532JU - orange (P8600), they are well built and i have had zero problems so far with it.
