is it worth the $2,000? thanks.
please don't take the price into consideration, i mean the $1,000 one would be nice, but I can get $2,000 by november.



Answer
Actually more RAM won't mean fast gaming. If it's over 4GB, then you probably won't see a huge difference. (E.g, 8GB won't change anything compared with 6GB). What you should look at is the video card- that impacts games immensely! Both laptops have the same NVIDIA 555M which is a mediocre card. For value, go with the ASUS:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+Laptop+/+Intel%26%23174%3B+Core%26%23153%3B+i7+Processor+/+17.3%22+Display+/+8GB+Memory+/+1TB+Hard+Drive+-+Black/2712579.p?id=1218346639131&skuId=2712579

That would be fine with what your doing, no lag, etc.

Or for the best, go with the Alienware M18x, but be sure to pick the "Dual 2GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 580M â NVIDIA® SLI® Enabled". Otherwise use the ASUS posted above.



And whoever is above me, Macs rock. I have a heavy gaming desktop rig, Win 7 tablet, iPad, and then a 13" MB Pro. My MBP shreds the competition laptops, including my tablet. And this is coming from a (former) Windows user.

PROSPERO⢠recommends Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.

Edit: Price doesn't matter?
Wait for November, get the Alienware M18x, but make sure to get "Dual 2GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 580M â NVIDIA® SLI® Enabled". That's probably the second (or third) best video card you can get right now.

What is a good gaming laptop?

I am 14 years old and looking to get into gaming with computers, I am looking for a laptop under 900$.
And although I will get a lot of hate for this, I can play certain M games.



Answer
I believe that once in a price range to get 1080p, that it is an important consideration in gaming. Ultra settings of games are designed for 1080p. On many games you have to choose then between the frames per second and the settings and the clarity of the image.

Lenovo.com is always a good place to start. There were prices under $900 for the Y580 with a core i7 CPU, and GTX 660M graphics and a 1080p screen. Prices are higher now than back in November for many laptops.
At Lenovo.com is Y500 and Y580.
$879 plus tax gets IdeaPad Y500 Laptop - 59360241 Core i7-3630QM, NVIDIA GeForce GT650M 2GB, 8GB 1600 speed DDR3 ram, 15.6" FHD LED Glare Wedge 1920x1080, 1TB 5400RPM+16GB SSD and other extras. 15.2 x 10.2 x 0.6 - 1.4" and about 6 pounds with a 6 cell lithium polymer battery. It is certainly a solid choice.

The current Y580 is IdeaPad Y580 Laptop - 59345715 for $849 plus tax. Same CPU, GTX 660M, 6GB RAM, 720p screen (1366x768), 750GB 5400 rpm, 15.2" x 10.0" x 1.4" , 6.15 pounds.
The 1080p versions are not discounted enough.

This relates gaming to graphics chip:

This one is probably the best deal on the market today and is exactly $900 (plus tax in California if you live there): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834312438
lenovo IdeaPad Y500 (59359560) Notebook Intel Core i5 3230M(2.60GHz) 15.6" 6GB Memory DDR3 1600 1TB HDD 5400rpm Dual NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M SLI
It has TWO crossfiring graphics chips in it! On the chart it shows better than GTX 670M
A core i5 is strong enough for gaming. It seems to have a nice red backlit keyboard and is 1080p also.
I think it is the best you can possibly do with $900, until they run out of them. It is a special build model.
