Gaming laptop

[ivank]

A couple of weeks ago I started a thread stating I was going to build my own computer. Well now my parents have had a change of heart. I have to get a laptop. I talked them into getting me a gaming laptop but now I have no idea what is a good one.

My parents founds these:
Alienware m15x
Toshiba Qosmio X305
Dell XPS M1730
Rock Xtreme SL Pro
Sony VAIO NW180J/8
Alienware Area-51 M15x
Alien m17

I do not know which to get, or if there is a better one out there that is no $1700.

Any suggestions would be nice.

I think I am going with the ASUS G71GX-RX05.

I have a Dell M1730. It is gigantic - as in huge. I figured since I move it, at most, once a month, I'd be fine... Yeah.

It's huge. Won't fit most bags. And it's heavy as heck.

Also, the battery on mine lasted about a year, and cost about 120$ to replace... Battery autonomy is about 40-50 minutes.

It is a sweet laptop, tho, but if I had to do it all over again, I'd go with something else. Don't know anything about the ASUS.
