Looking for a good gaming laptop

[Vanquished]

Hey,
I was just wondering if anyone knows of some good laptops out there for gaming. I would like HP or Compaq, or Toshiba, etc. Not Alienware because they are expensive. I don't really care about HDD capacity, screen size, battery life, etc. All i really care about is a good video card.
My max price would be 2 grand.
Thanks,
Jack

As I stated in another thread there is a company called Clevo that makes the chassis that Alienware uses. They also sell to another company called Sager. You can get the same quality and performance of an alienware for wayyyy less.

Within your price range, I would recommend any of these three models:

Gateway M685-E

HP nx9420

HP Pavillion dv9000t

Each are customizable, so you can go lower on hdd and others that you don't want to beef up graphics. Haven't come across too many cost effective portables with more than 256MB of Dedicated Video RAM.

Ok, thanks.
I got the gateway down to just under 2 grand, so thats good, with the t7400 processor, and the Go 7900 GS graphics card.
I also customized your third one, with the 512mb card, but im wondering if the 7600 is good enough, it is 512mb but...
And im not a huge fan of dell, but thanks 🙂
