Is this a good gaming laptop?:
http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/pdet.to?poid=2000053427

I'm looking for a laptop that will run some pretty big games with no trouble at all.  I mean huge MMO's with amazing graphics and shit.  I don't mean shit like WoW.  I mean really cool motherfucking badass games.  Some cool shit because that's how I fucking roll.  Games that will unleash my inner badassery onto the world.  I don't know much about computer specs and all that crap so I'm relying on your expertise.

I'd really appreciate if anybody could direct me to any better gaming laptops under $2,500.

Thanks.

That's an amazing budget for a gaming laptop. If you utilized it on a desktop it would probably be the most badass one here on IN, so far.

Here, customize it and load it all the way up. It'll probably still be under $2500.

I recommend you throw in a SSD as your primary and a 1 TB as your secondary. The RAM is already over-overkill, but if you want even more then throw that in as well.

I'd recommend any TOSHIBA laptop after the great experience I've had with them in the past (and still having)


You can also pick up a customized Alienware for that much, but I wouldn't recommend going near those.


Honestly, this is the TOP of laptops. I've seen very little with specs that go beyond or none at all within 3k dollars.

Really.

Those things quit on you or start spazzing out spontaneously after 6 months of use. Two of my friends have an M14x and on both of them the GPU quit. Yet the continue to blow money on getting it repaired.

I often wonder, what games actually require $2500 rigs to play?

No desktop build requires you to throw in 2500, you can get a top end build for around 900-1000 that will play most games.

But when it comes to laptop gaming you need to be ready to fork over at least 1600.

Thats why I never buy laptops. Its just not worth the extra cash.

That's pretty damn dumb, since Dell gives at least 1 year of warranty.

The warranty only gives you a discount on the repair, in the end you still pay a certain amount of money to get it repaired.

Then it was user abuse.

Any production defects are replaced for free.

Whatever the warranty says. My friends ended up paying for the repairs at Dell.

God, so much bad advice at this point. Go Sager at this point, get the most expensive one with the dual GTX 670MX's, and don't go up to the GTX 680m.
