Solved! NEW Gaming Laptop DELL, worth the price? Help.....

[imstallion]

Hey Guys, I have been thinking about getting a laptop for my new business but being a gamer, I have been trying to figure out if I should replace my desktop completely or what!! Ofcourse I will keep the one I already have! Went to the Dell website and sorta liked this but wanted your input on whether this will be good for some gaming or not? I mostly play CounterStrike, COD MW2 etc...

Its a nice laptop but you can get better ones in this 1500$ range, like asus G73 with much better gtx460 or hd5870

I agree with raza. I think you could get more in terms or graphics power for the kind of cash you want to spend.

If you want 15.6 screen then go with this one http://www.xoticpc.com/asus-g53jwa1-pre-order-p-2857.html?wconfigure=yes

OR if 17 inch then http://www.xoticpc.com/asus-g73jwxr1-republic-gamers-laptop-p-2931.html?wconfigure=yes

Both are equipped with full HD 1080p screen and GTX460 for ensuring best performance for the buck
