High Performance Gaming Laptops On A Budget?

Posted by simoniker on from the portable-gaming-goodness dept.

Cory Tunney writes "In my quest to find a gaming laptop that will fulfill my gaming fantasies, but not kick me in the wallet at the same time, I've come across many options. Alienware is out of the question, as are companies like VooDooPC, but out of the rough comes companies less known but with impressive hardware. Sager seems to have won over a pretty large group of fans, and iBuyPower also seems to put out a decent amount of bang for the buck. However, when it comes down to it, I am still left with several options and I do not know what road to travel. So here's the jist of it - a system with a price tag around $2,000, a high-end video card (Radeon or the equivalent NVidia) and a system with an AMD would be a plus, but I will not rule out Intel if they can offer similar performance. So, Slashdot readers, what systems can you recommend?"

    That's funny, I was actually wondering what games you would play on a powerbook...

    Who modded this twit up? ASUS is one company that offers barebones laptops, allowing you to buy many/most of the components seperately and install them yourself.

    Reading the summary is hard, I know, but do try the title next time.

    Knowing what you're talking about can be hard, I know, but if you don't want to make an ass out of yourself in the future, do try to do a little research before you take a shot at someone.
