i really like the idea of the power house but its really big and the battery probably only lasts like one-two hours. i need battery life for two-three hours at least and i want a smaller laptop thats why i instantly fell in love with g55vw
this is going to be laptop for college so i really need help deciding guys! thanks so much!

First of all,don't post about pirated software(even as a joke),it doesn't fit the forum rules,had to edit your post.
Anyway,between the first 2,the Sager one is overall a better choice because of having a better GPU.
As for the last one,well no one can tell you how games will look in 2013/2014 and the word "future-proof" basically means nothing because you don't know how things will change but from a "Personal" experience,I recommend going with a single GPU instead of SLI.(mainly because of the drivers)

An alternative to the first 2 options would be the MSI GT70.It's got a better battery life than the 9150 and on-par(maybe slightly better) with the G55

don't like msi cuz its the pretty much the same specs except i hate the way it looks. i think ima go with the g55...

I would choose the sager, much better performance hands down. If you really care about looks why not just get a mbp, then you'll look cool with all the hipsters?

in soviet russia we call them kneesters.

i'd rather build a laptop out of my own *** then buy a mbp

Macbook Pro? Really?

 

[bavman]

Hey hes the one that wants the asus just because it looks better

 

[ohiou_grad_06]

Yeah, but Macbook pro is gonna be overpriced and probably not nearly the bang for the buck. And you still get Mac OS X. I mean cmon, just install linux.

....it was supposed to be a joke. oh well. I'll use my html skills next time:

sorry i didn't know it was wrong for someone to like something because of its looks. especially when i'm spending thousands of dollars it matters what it looks like kind of like a car. would you buy a sports car with rust and a fucked up paint job and it looks like a piece of ***? maybe you should go out and look at some sexy females? you probably haven't done that in a while. then you should know where i'm coming from, unless you're gay.

Ehh apples and oranges. Obviously I'm not gonna go for a fugly girl, but I really don't care what my computer/laptop looks like as long as im getting what I want in terms of performance. For example, I just installed an ssd in my desktop but I dont have enough harddrive trays till I order a 5.25'' to 2.5'' bay, so its just sitting on my desk with the side of my tower open...but I dont even care.

If possible, I would go with the 7970m instead of the 670m or 675m. It will be much faster and will be more efficient. For $200 it is a great deal.
It is about a powerful as a 580m SLI (and uses half the power)
