Hi Guys,

Why get a laptop? Get an amazing desktop 2/3 of the price of a good gaming laptop. Is there a specific reason he needs a laptop?

If he's not going off to college or anything I can't really condone spending more money on a laptop that'll give you less performance than a desktop that'll give you way more performance for way less money.

I think that alienware m17x is in that price range, though, I didnt think anyone actually bought gaming laptops......

^More like i7/GTX 285/6GB DDR3/P6T/etc. and a nice Lenovo, considering OP said money isn't an issue.

What's wrong with Q9550? (I'm so out of touch with CPUs atm )

I said Q9550/GTX260 because he said he doesn't want to spend more than $2k. Spending that amount on a desktop will run anything out atm, with enough cash to spare to get a nice laptop.

What an oxymoronic phrase: high-end-gaming and laptop in the same sentence.
