MSI GX640 would be a good choice

It its back ordered? anyone else got any ideas?

 

[Maziar]

hmm its strange that its back ordered.It seems to be out of stock everywhere.
Well another good option is Sager NP8690,but its battery life is like 1hr

Sager NP8690: http://sagernotebook.com/index.php?page=product_info&model_name=NP8690

 

[Bloodylegend]

the asus 51 is good but i couldnt take that to class id feel so gay with that lid it has

 

[Maziar]

If anyone has a recommendation for a laptop,then specify it rather than point out a specific brand only.
to OP,
is 2hrs of battery life a must ? because Sager NP8690 is a great choice,but its battery life isn't very good

BTW,Logan check your PMs

Is that toward me??

 

[lurkerz87]

I am looking for the same kind of specs. I found this one from Asus

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220696

and this one from lenovo

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834146777

If i may, i would like to ask a question at the same time.. are these powerful enough for decent gaming experience or not?

 

[Bloodylegend]

^^ I Like these can some one tell us if these will power say WoW at Ultra?

 

[lostandwandering]

I think that Ultra settings would be really pushing it with those cards. Take a look at the benchmarks on this page and see for yourself (WOW is not tested but COD is): http://www.notebookcheck.net/ATI-Mobility-Radeon-HD-5730.23825.0.html

 

[Bloodylegend]

Okay i have come ip with an alternative idea..
Using a netbook for class and building a desktop for my room
Any thoughts for college life?
all of it would have to add up to the same

 

[Bloodylegend]

Just found this on the spotlight on newegg..

[Maziar]

When i say "to OP" i mean the original poster,which in case is you.
And as for the notebook you found,GT 330M is a mid-range card and can handle WOW and COD on high settings if you lower your resolution(to something like 1024x768)

 

[Bloodylegend]

okay well the battery life is not a must!

 

[Maziar]

Then go for the Sager NP8690 and you won't be disappointed
