Recommend a good laptop

[Turnsleft]

Can anyone recommend a good laptop capable of running with the new Crysis engine "exceptionally well" when it comes to EU?

Ok let me just explain Im in the UK so has to be a well known brand or some good stats, ie what graphics etc, assume Im gonna have 4GBs of ram ;-)

Try Alienware, or a custom built one, if you want "exceptional."

...check www.alchemy-computers.com

the owner is an EU player. All computers that he builds are EU and CryEngine ready... I have the high-end laptop... it's better than my quad-processor desktop, seriously.

tell them "darri sent ya"

Yah, Alienware makes some nice gaming laptops.
But i'd want one of these: http://www.anuslaptops.com/

I bought an Alienware Area 51-m9750 about 6 months ago... so far its a great rig for gaming.

last time i checked alienware laptop it really sucked (2week ago)

max screen 15-16" ? their builtup is made to run in native 2000 x 1000(approx) resolution on a 15" inch... did u ever tried that? lol thats pain... unless what they mean is highest resolution they can achieve

EDIT : alienware just got a 17screen offer, and from the dell website u can see that there even promoting alienware(they own them). so i would basically look for a great deal on dell instead, it really depend...

alienware is losing the race currently "in my book" cause all they do anyway is buy a basic hardware kit from company then slap a new box into it and charge u more. well just make it yourself and ull save plenty money.

Also, back on topic...

if u want a solution with support and staff(something u wont have if u buy a similar priced clone)...

There the Dell XPSTM M1730 17" HD Widescreen Laptop from who seem to be ahead of is time with a PHYSX chip included on their hardware and supporting 2x SLI videocards up to 1024 memory for the gfx!? . but the 17" screen bugs me indeed(not bad but iwant a 19"+)

else there the clone solution, nothing bad except if it broke u gonna figure all urself.

Note that I've found that the battery life on gaming laptops is fairly low 2-2.5 hours, at least on the ones I've tested

I own an Alienware Aurora mAlx. 1.5 years old now.

that is 19" with 2 SLI graphics cards. The laptop is superb though a bit heavy at almost 11kg with the power supply included.

I live during the week a lot in hotels so i wanted a good gaming rig.

My main problem is my HSPDA phone provider giving me some connection problems lately.

i cant find that laptop on alienware.

sad they phased it out??

19" screen on laptop is a must to me and should be for any gamer, i dont mind the weight, battery life and such... screen/videocard/sli would be the only thing that matter before considering a laptop when it come to gaming. caus everything else is basic stuff u need but most offer (4g memory, raid or turbo cached hd, u know stuffs like that)
