Asus can be a good option. It is good in its performance because of its good features and it has price of around $600. Mostly it has positive reviews. It is gives absolutely high value as per one of the customer. Here is a complete review from an actual user which you can see and decide:

http://www.amazon.com/review/R19TWHSH5A0EN/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B009F1JL5A&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag=hawmekm-20

Its features include Intel Core i5 3317U 1.7 GHz Processor and 4 GB DDR3 1600 MHz SD-RAM which is fast and efficient. It has storage of 500GB 5400RPM Hybrid Hard Drive with integrated 24GB Solid-State Drive. It has good portable 14" 16:9 HD (1366x768) LED backlight glare panel and Windows 8.

So this is one really good option for which you can go among many others available in the market. As you want a list as well so here is a list of laptops which are most popular currently:

What's the most powerful gaming laptop WITH the best 3D display 2013?




Answering


Hello hardcore gamers! With a budget of around 2K, I'd like to get a very poweful gaming laptop that has THE BEST HD screen for 3D gaming: high res, bright, emitters, 120hz LCD +, etc

For a while, I've had my eye on the Toshiba Qosmio X875 Q7390
http://computers.toptenreviews.com/gaming-laptops/toshiba/toshiba-qosmio-x-series-review.html

But I've wondered about the Alienware MX17:
http://computers.toptenreviews.com/gaming-laptops/alienware-corporation/alienware-m17x-review.html

^ the MX17 has as good screen, but I don't know if it is as bright and as crisp as the Qosmio. Granted the MX17 has a better keyboard, heating, batt life, graphics, and RAM option. I don't like that the max ram on the Qosmio is 16GB and cannot be upgraded past 16GB (I've seen a 32GB version on amazon but it is around $2050 which exceeds my budget).

The screen is VERY important for this purchase, however. And I'd rather it be a laptop for business reasons, and to take it to other people's houses to work with them on projects and such.

ALSO: I am very good at modding electronics (I'm an inventor), and I was wondering if it's possible to find a 17.3" LCD with 240hz and just swap out the laptop screens.



Answer
Be it either Eurocom, Sager, XMG, Origin PC or any other vendor, they will probably be selling you the base of a Clevo laptop fitted with the parts that you choose. Sager is the cheapest of them all and pulls it off without compromising on performance.

In your case, you should be looking for the Sager NP9370-3D model which is based on the Clevo P370EM3 chassis.

It outranks the Alienware M17x R4 and the M18x R2 in performance given that you choose the right components to put in. The Sager is sold via resellers thus giving it much better customisation options than the Alienware. However this is not an issue if you purchase an Alienware from a reseller which however is very hard to find and even when you do find a reseller that sells Alienwares, they will be restrained in the otherwise more options they can offer than those that are available on the Dell website. This is because when it comes to Alienware, the extra options are also produced and fitted by Dell and not the reseller.

But the guarantee with a Clevo based chassis is that it will always be cheaper than an Alienware given that both of them have been fitted with similar components. Plus, a Clevo based laptop is easier to maintain and upgrade (Sager allows hardware upgrades with component warranty)

Try it out yourself, go to this website: www.xoticpc.com and build an Alienware M18x R2 and a Sager NP9370-3D with the same (or similar components) and watch the Alienware price climb higher than the Sager by USD 500 - USD 800 depending on what components you select. Why am I comparing the Sager build to the M18x and not an M17x? That's because the M17x is a single GPU laptop and the Sager NP9370-3D is a DUAL GPU laptop. Thus to keep it fair, we need to compare the builds equally to the M18x which is also a DUAL GPU laptop.

People often argue over the difference between build qualities of both brands claiming in most cases that Alienwares are better built however, it is worthy to note that before Dell bought Alienware (and ruined it), Alienware used Clevo as their chassis' whereas now they don't. What I do know is that neither laptop has bad build quality since they need to be strong enough to hold what is inside them in the first place. 17 inches of real estate on a desk requires durability in a laptop as standard. Then again quality is not fact, it is an opinion. This is where many people confuse the better design of the Alienware as an indicator of better build quality. Alienware laptops are very intimidating in their looks and quite frankly deserve the stares they draw from the rest of a classroom/meeting room/office.

You mentioned that you'd rather the laptop for business reasons. The Sager wins in this department since it is very discrete in it's design and you can also choose to remove any branding from the body of the laptop to make it look plain. The Alienware is more ostentatious in this regard with all the obvious lighting and bodywork albeit a beautiful piece of design.

The screen. The Sager NP9370-3D comes with a 72% color Gamut 120hz display as standard. The Alienware M17x R4 does as well but without the Gamut adjustment unless you're buying form a reseller and they provide that service. Also the M17x R4 is a single GPU laptop whereas the NP9370-3D is a DUAL GPU laptop. The Alienware dual GPU laptop, the M18x R2 does not come with 3D capabilities nor a 120hz screen. In terms of replacement, I have not heard of any screen variants for any Alienware laptop on the market nor do I recommend it. Alienware laptops are the complete opposites of there desktop counterparts when it comes to customisation. which means that they do not handle it well. Sager on the other hand has a better track record in custom parts however I have not seen any screen replacement for the NP9370-3D on the market either.

The choice is yours however since Alienware in itself is not a bad choice if you have the money. They are powerful themselves. But my personal recommendation is a Sager NP9370-3D with the Nvidia 680m SLi setup which is more powerful, better value for money and leaves options for future customisation, upgrading (this includes CPU and GPU upgrades apart from RAM) and overclocking.
