Help me get a gaming laptop

[Obi-Wan Kipobe]

I have a gaming PC, but hardly use it for gaming because I'm just more of a console kinda guy. I would play them more if I was on the go... but obviously I'd need a laptop for that. I don't really care for handhelds (other than my lite... mmm, dreamy :inlove:)

So long story short, I need help picking out a good gaming laptop. Any ideas?

 

[Axid]

Give me a price range...

 

[Obi-Wan Kipobe]

Well, I'm fairly open as far as price. I'm thinking either this or a 360 or a PS3 (none of which will sacrifice my Wii money).

Just not thousands and thousands... but I'm reasonable.

 

[Axid]

something like 1500-1900?

 

[Obi-Wan Kipobe]

Yeah, I mean... I need a new lappy anyway, so I could swing that if I hold off getting another PC right now.

THE '360' WOULD BE THE OBVIOUS BEST SCENARIO, FOR THE VALUE, AND GAMES AVAILABLE (INCLUDING UPCOMING ONES). BUT, IF YOU'RE WANTING "PORTABLE" GAMING, A LAPTOP WOULD BE YOUR ONLY OPTION.

Nuh-uh I just want something that has the console feel, but don't get me wrong... the DS is the king. I still may get a 360, but it's gonna have to be later on in the gen.

YOU'RE A STRANGE LITTLE MAN.

 

[Axid]

Give me a final price so I don't contruct something skimpy

 

[Obi-Wan Kipobe]

2k is my cap

ps - little...?

 

[Axid]

I'm trying

 

[Obi-Wan Kipobe]

2.4k?

 

[THWIP*]

ps - little...?

THAT'S JUST WHAT I'VE HEARD.

 

[Axid]

That's more than enough...Almost finished

 

[Obi-Wan Kipobe]

THAT'S JUST WHAT I'VE HEARD.

Your wife just didn't want you to feel bad. I told her to make up some absurd lie

You can actually get something much less than that with better specs if you look in the right places.

Not possible... in my jealous rage I killed her
