I have a Dell Inspiron 17r se that's not posting. At first it would give 4 beeps with fan on high and turn on and off (signaling something wrong with memory). So I took out one of the sticks of RAM and it stopped. However it still would not post and the fan would be on high. I even tried using...

Which decent gaming laptops can you get in the $600-$650 range that work well with 1080p?

Assuming it´s more or less on par with most toshiba laptops, especially the Q line, it will most likely be a very poor quality build with lots of flex etc... So I am too skeptical to buy it just yet, and still most likely going to buy the sager np8230.

There are no reviews of this laptop yet? It seems like a good deal, however these toshibas have gotten many bad reviews in the past. Probably worth another $100-200 to buy a sager with same specs more or less, but better quality.

I´d prefer to get the IC diamond thermal compound, an OS and an SSD than take the $50 discount rather than shove out another $100 for the np8250. I don´t really plan on upgrading the laptop GPU wise....it´s just not worth it in my opinion. Hopefully I´ll have a laptop in two years or so.

I´m in the same position. I travel frequently internationaly and need some kind of PC that came game well. Naturally I´d much rather build a desktop, but I need the portability. Anyways, I´ve been investigating alot over the past 4 months or so and I´ve pretty much narrowed my search down to the...

Care to elaborate as to why?

But either way, in your honest opinion (having been around the np8230) that it´s a very well ventilated-cooled set up? Also does it seem very durable and long lasting?

I feel for you my friend. I`m asuming you`re a fan of the Total War series. Been my favorite series since the days of the original Shogun. Civ as well. I originally wanted to buy a laptop for around the same price ($400) and quickly realized it wouldn`t be possible. I`d been out of the PC scene...

I`d recommend either the sager-clevo np7370, np7352 (same laptop, only the 7370 is 17¨ as opposed to 15¨) or the np8230. The np8230 is a bit better with a GTX 770m compared to the GTX 765m of the other two, which would make it roughly 20-25% ¨better.¨ The np 7370 and np7352 both cost around...

Indeed, I already realize that. I`m just not sure if that extra $200 is really worth an extra say %20 in GPU performance. The only new game I REALLY want to play is the new Rome II Total War, and that will be pretty GPU heavy (CPU as well) , but perhaps being as if I go the laptop route I should...

I´m still very conflicted between the two. I´ve even still been considering building a microATX build with the new Bitfenix Prodigy and lugging it around as a carry on in planes then later on paying some $300-400 on a cheap laptop with that money I´d have left over. Still, anybody else have...

What about in regards to games? How´s it handle fairly intense gaming for long periods of time?

GSW, I´m interested in how that laptop treats you. What kind of games are you running? You don´t by chance happen to play any of the Total War series? I´d love to know how the laptop is with FPS and temps on some more taxing games.

Honestly the sager np7370 or np7352 with the same CPU only with quite a bit better GPU (GTX 765m) for really around the same price would have been a much better deal in my opinion.......
