Hello all!
I'm in the market for a new gaming laptop, and, while I can't say that money is "no object", I'd rather just hear the best options, and then I can add in some extra weights based on costs, etc? So, if there is a particularly awesome laptop, but it would be ~$3,000, please still note it?
I've read a lot of articles about the "best gaming laptops of 2012" and the Alienware M17x R4 sounds very good, but I'm not sure it would be perfect?
My dream list would be:
15" -- this would be perfect. I have a Sager now that's 15.4" and it's really nice to have something that isn't so super huge.
1920x1080 display -- I like having space and higher pixel density is nice.
I guess there's not a lot there... Most things seem rather straight forward. A very good graphics chip is probably the #1 priority, as my current laptop has a 540m and, while I thought it would be great, is... not so awesome a lot of the time.
Also, cooling. My current laptop gets very hot, and I don't know if it's possible, but a build that would allow me to sit it upon my lap would be... well, pretty nice? If that's just not really possible, due to the way these devices are constructed, I'm okay with that.
So, yes. Please give me thoughts on any device that would fit these rather open criteria (or ask questions so I can be more specific)
Ah, I suppose I can also add, I'd really like to play, at least, Final Fantasy XIV with high/ultra graphics settings and get a decent framerate.
Thank you very much all!
