Canadian Gaming Laptop

[murmur95]

I am looking for a gaming laptop that has a great graphics card, (GeForce 9800M GTX or GeForce 8800M GTX)

The card does not need to be in SLI because i do not generally play at extremely high resolutions (and the cost of it in SLI is high and i believe one of the cards listed above is better than two of any model under it)

I live in Canada so i need to get a Canadian laptop which rules out sager and a lot of other good USA makers.

I am hoping to get a customizable laptop but if there is a good pre configured laptop i could go with that.

I do not need a desktop so comments like "get a desktop" would not help

Another vote for SAGER NP9262.

 

[ultima_weaponx]

Did either of you READ his post?
He CLEARLY states that Sager is not an option for him.
He clearly said this. Please read.

 

[Maziar]

No
alot of stores ship to canada like www.xoticpc.com

 

[frozenlead]

Yes, as we've already covered many a times, a "Sager" may or may not actually include buying directly from the company Sager.

 

[theworminator]

Yeah, resellers will ship to Canada even if Sager itself won't. Along with them, I'd also suggest Killer Notebooks, but you might have to talk to them about getting one under 3 grand, theirs tend to be slightly above that even when base. More costly, but more effective, in my opinion at least.

 

[killernotebooks]

Yea, I do what I can when contacted directly.
