Hey guys so looking into a gaming laptop to take with me to work so i can play stuff like world of warcraft, warhammer, counter-strike (lol), I haven't been keeping up with whats good so kinda asking, whats a good laptop? and also if anyone has anything for sale let me know thanks, price we can talk about that.

Requirements: Most run high demand games smoothly (great graphics)

Most be at least 17inch screen.

Oh and im using a mac pro desktop at home and that seems to do the trick quite nicely.

Thanks as always beyond.

Toshiba makes really good laptops and they have a line of gaming laptops that you could look into. But if your willing to go all out then Alienware laptops are the best for gaming but you will pay for it.

Dell XPS series has served me well over the past few years and the 17" model can have a 1920x1200 LCD. I think there is even an SLI model in a laptop.

There is a good looking Toshiba Quasimo X300 at Best Buy fro 1599$. I was thinking of picking that up this weekend.

i bought one of these this summer, best thing since sliced bread, i can give you a hefty list of games that run full grphx no sweat on this thing. the 9700M GTS is really nice. HDMI port, all the bells and whistles of a 'modern' laptop plus gaming

the fans on the bottom really fken expels that hot air the GPU produces, as good as aircooled laptops get.

btw it's Qosmio.. like jeez wtf

Dell acquired alienware, they make some amazing machines. They are are little thick though.

If I was you I would buy an asus laptop..either from memoryexpress.net or from newegg.ca....As a gamer they have better components not as much crapware and they are value priced. Dell alienware toshiba all inflate their prices for their name which is just stupid. If you can find a Gateway FX at a reasonable price I would grab one of those too but their impossible to find. Asus is the way to go. Go to notebookreview.com and read some reviews.

That toshiba Qosmio is a good laptop but 5400 rpm drives don't cut it for me when u can get an asus for about the same price with a 7200 rpm drive.
