    Best semi-gaming laptop for ~$1K

    If you can give up the backlit keyboard check out the clevo p151hm. Better video card than the g53 because of the memory bus.

    Check out the notebookreview forums as suggested above. Malibal has a representative that is very active on the forums there. Clevo/Sager is just a brand of laptops that lots of resellers including malibal sell. They are very popular especially in gaming laptops. I don't know what the...

    Gaming laptop advice

    Anyone that has the p170hm, did you upgrade the screen or did you stick with the stock? It seems like the reviews that have the LG 17.3" screen say it's not up to par with a laptop of this level.

    I'd look at the Asus G series whichever screen size you prefer, and the Clevo's. If your budget is 1400 you have room to bump up to a better video card than the gt 555. Whatever you do I don't think I'd buy at Best Buy. Buy from Newegg, xoticpc, or malibal. If you do still decide to buy at...

    Gaming laptop advice

    I'm already familiar with Clevo as I mentioned I was already considering them. The A73 is not a gaming notebook. Anybody have any advice about why the Clevo is better than the Asus G series, or vice versa? Or why you prefer a different brand laptop to the two I've mentioned?

    GTX level with optimus

    Are there any GTX level laptops that the manufacturer has actually built with Optimus. I want to be able to play most games at max settings, but I also would like to be able to surf the web on my couch without having to be plugged in.
