Good lap-top for Gaming Nobo Aug 25th, 05, 02:08 PM #1 (permalink)
Hi, I am looking for one lap-top can do gaming. Please do not tell me that nothing beats desktop, I need to move around pretty often. My budget is about 5k.

I've read two good gaming laptops: Dell XPS Gen2 (P-M 2.13Ghz) and Alienware A-52 something (upgrade to P4 3.8Ghz). Both are only available in States.

Need to find out are Alienware the only one manufacturing P4 laptops? Thanks.

If weight is not a problem with u, the DELL 9300 is a good choice. I'm using one as a gaming platform.
