<p>Notebooks are simply not designed for playing games. For the price of a good gaming laptop, I can buy a gaming desktop with significantly better performance and a very portable laptop to take around. Gaming notebooks are far too expensive and not mobile in my opinion.</p>
<p>The people who play games on laptops are dumb. Do you ever see gamers at the big cyber athletic games playing on laptops? No. Because they simply lack a lot of benefits for gaming that come with desktops. With desktops you'll have much more customizability which you'll need. Every year or so a new graphics card comes out because games are constantly advancing and you'll need that sort of thing. It just ends up being much CHEAPER to make a custom desktop for gaming.</p>
<p>Laptops on the other hand should be looked at as things to be mobile and efficient. You'll want them to be small and light and have good battery life. All of these qualities are what gaming laptops lack.</p>
<p>That's true. I'm not arguing that desktops aren't better and cheaper than laptops if you want to play games with highest settings.</p>
<p>However, I own an imported laptop with x700 graphics and I play current games on highest settings with wxga+ resolution. 15.4" screen at merely 6lbs with the carbon fibre chassis, no other laptop available on the American market can compare with this.</p>
<p>What's the price of this? $1600.</p>
<p>Battery length: 4 hrs, with second battery add-on make that 7hrs.</p>
<p>Mobility, efficient, light, good battery life and plays games at highest settings. Right there.</p>

<p>You are joking, right? No laptop?</p>
<p>i would not go with a dell. my brother has one and it is made of plastic that squeaks every time you pick it up. dell has also been using crappier parts to meet profits. they cut their warranty. i have a 15" powerbook and it was a good decision. i get around 3-4 hours of battery life watching movies or doing photoshop work.</p>

<p>Lol the Ferrari of laptops.</p>
<p>Literally and figuratively. Has to be an Acer Ferrari 4005. Nice pick but it does cost quite a bit. Unless you bought it off ebay. Alot cheaper there.</p>

<p>That is what it sounded like to me (and that would be my choice also) but these are avaliable in the US everywhere</p>
<p>Good guess, but incorrect. It's the not the Ferrari 4005, which is $2500 and heavier, and 3hrs of battery life. It's the Asus z7000 series from Taiwan.</p>
<p>I settled for second best, as the best 15.4" laptop in the world costs $3500 from Samsung, but nevertheless superior to all American brand laptops available now.</p>
