Laptop with these specs?

Thread Starter 
Looking for a new laptop. Gaming will be primary use, with internet surfing at second.

*Highest end graphic card possible... (7800gtx)
*Mobile processor
*1gb ram (could go with 512 stock, then add more later)
*hard drive size doesnt matter
*15/15.4" preferred, take a 17" if it meets everyother demand
*weight ~7lbs or less
*wifi is a must, bluetooth really dont care
*cost... $2000 or less

Any ideas? I like that sager 5720 or whatever it is but it pushes the budget a bit.

You cant get a 15/15.4" laptop with a 7800. The Dell XPS and the Sager 5720 or any variant of are pretty much your only options with a mobile processor and a 7800.

No laptop exists that meets those specs. You're going to have to give up some of those requirements.

You could do everything there except the 7lbs and maybe the under $2K.

You could always mod a M70 to fit in a 7800GTX. Check the Dell centrino site for some info on that. Really, if they aren't that graphic intense ore you don't mind running at WXGA or WSXGA+ resolution, why not get the Sager 5320? Maybe if you can find one for cheap, get one of the Ferraris. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...848&CatId=1902
Fits everything but the graphics card, but really it sounds like one of the best deals cause it comes with absolutly everything.

That's a lot of money for essentially a video card... Just remember a computer isn't going to be a good gaming computer just because you slap in a 7800GTX.
