I'm going to college in the fall, but I'll need a computer. I want to be able to game really well, but won't be able to lug a desktop all over the place. I'm looking for something decently priced, but I don't care about size or weight, so long as it is smaller than a desktop tower. What amazing gaming laptops would you recommend?
Answer
innexpensive/amazing gaming laptop + 2012 USA economy = nearly impossible
innexpensive/decent gaming laptop = 2012 USA economy = doable
Try looking at your local stores, best buy has some really great deals sometimes, if you catch it at the right time, it might even be under 500-600 bucks.
Dell/Toshiba (if you have the money, alienware) but one of the main things with gaming computers are RAM and Graghics card. If you want a good laptop look for one with atleast 2-4 GB of RAM and a RADEON 6000 series or up or a GFORCE 400 series and up. Find a computer with those specs for the right price and youll be set for college, beer, books, and call of duty is the life if you think about it. (dont forget the hot chicks)

There are some good gaming laptops on amazon at this moment.Two examples are :
Alienware is the one of the top (the top in my opinion) when it comes to laptop for games.Alienware 17inc with dual graphic cards. I think that the odds of finding a better gaming laptop are slim. Its quite expensive though.
