<p>you bond with the guys/girls. It's a fun time, but you spend a lot of time doing it. It's like a social club.</p>
<p>Which laptop's the best for gaming? Which model?</p>
<p>from what company? Dell makes the XPS line, but there are plenty of other machines out there. cnet has ratings and reviews: <a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/Notebooks/4521-6527_7-5021302-4.html?tag=subnav%5B/url%5D">http://reviews.cnet.com/Notebooks/4521-6527_7-5021302-4.html?tag=subnav</a> Obviously you could custom any of the machines to be more powerful than the actual one dell tested.</p>
<p>I'd go with an Acer or Alienware if you want the TOP of the line...</p>
<p>Alienware is too big and hot. The XPS M170 is the best gaming laptop out (and most portable). If you're not an avid gamer, I suggest the dual core Inspiron E1705. Dual core will be helpful in the future.</p>
<p>I havnt heard of the Pentium M Processor. How good is the 2.26 GHZ processor on the XPS compared to a Pentium 4? Coz the Alienware Area-51 m7700's got a clock speed of 3.6GHz, and comes for roughly the same price.

<p>Clock speeds on the Pent M are lower, but they are based on shorter pipelines than the P4. If you check out the stats, you can see that the Pentium M beats out mobile/desktop P4s.</p>
<p>wrxstiav, so given the choice between the Alienware Area-51 m7700 and the Dell XPS M170 disregarding the price, which do u think is better for gaming and which would you choose?</p>
<p>i say...instead o spending 'moollah' on these models...get a nice decent XP Proffesional Compaq...its not THAT 'yo!' but for us college guys, it will do just fine... also, i sujjest this because ur in Mumbai...compaq decent model is WAY cheaper than these hybrid models...i know because, when we seleted a farewell gift for our school, we gave an Acer laptop...at Rs38000, u thinks its a bargain...but wait...its reallly low on RAM and uses LINUX...totally with hangin to XP and all, cost->Rs50000...so if u want one of the real yo comps, its gonna be expensive</p>
<p>one of the "real yo comps"? ...just, no.</p>
<p>Compaq may be good, but it's definitely not one of those high end gaming laptops. And many of the latest games wont work well on it.</p>
<p>FINALLY!!! after abt 1 month, i'm online at the same time as the Goddess of all Unholy</p>

<p>Arjun, I know I've been pretty rude to you, and I apologise. No offense but I wanna ask you a simple question: Dont you get ragged/hazed at NPS? Dude, whatever you do, dont stay back at India. You'll be ragged to death. I'm not saying that you should come to Cornell, but definitely dont stay back in India. For your sake.</p>
<p>Arjun, you fool, I was referring to the absurd name you all are using, not your post. I'm literate, unlike some of us.</p>
