    Why are there so few good gaming laptops?

    That's not really true; a 1600 x 1200 screen is generally 4:3 ratio and as of such much more 'square' and taller than a 1600 x 1080 screen -- you can't just squish "more pixels" into a widescreen display; the ratio has to match. Now, you definitely wouldn't want a 4:3 ratio in a 16:10 screen...

    Why are there so few good gaming laptops?

    Meh, I don't think the extra 120 pixels really makes a huge difference, and it probably keeps the form factor a little more "widescreen" instead of being ridiculously tall. (Not that that particular machine is anything other than ridiculously huge anyway, haha.) My idea of mobility is being...

    I'm looking at XoticPC right now -- they seem like they have some good options. What are their main competitors?

    Why are there so few good gaming laptops?

    I guess I'm a little uncomfortable with the no-name Asian company, but I do appreciate that they have the exact same components for a great price... that's certainly nice.

    It's totally possible that I just suck at searching, but man, I'm failing miserably at finding a good gaming laptop. Alienware seems to be using outdated parts, "regular" companies just don't have the high quality video cards... the boutique shops are just silly expensive. (Falcon NW and...
