Need Advice on which laptop to buy

Thread Starter 
I need a laptop mainly for gaming with a price range of around $2500 au give or take which is about $1500 roughly us. I was thinking minimum 4gb ram, 320gb harddrive, and i would like to have a nvidia 9800 gfx card. I have read up on some laptops but none of them have very close to the specs that i want. I've looked at alot of brands (toshiba, acer, dell, asus, alienware etc) can anyone reccomend me a laptop that is real good for gaming within my price range give or take a couple $100.

The games I play are: counter strike source, c&c3, WoW, and probally going to look into buying a couple more games.

Thanks.

Get a Dell, they are great. You get great hardware which you can configure while buying.

Just check out dell.com and see if you find a notebook

the Asus G50Vt, Alienware M15x and M17x, Sager NP8660 and NP5797, and Gateway P-7805u FX all have some version of the graphics card you're looking for. Of those, the Alienware notebooks are probably a bit out of your price range, so I'd look at the others.

dell.com/outlet. He should be able to find something there.

Get a warranty.
