Gaming need suggestions about a laptop

[jarejare3]

Yeah The laptops that you recommended your self beat Foxi by just the core,

Foxi i5 core specs:http://ark.intel.com/products/52224

Your laptops core specs :http://ark.intel.com...Cache-2_20-GHz)

I think the extra 100 usd is kinda worth it.

EDIT: But the Alienware is still Better XD

Derp.

CLEVO is a large Taiwanese computer company specializing in laptops. While the Clevo brand name is perhaps not widely known, their products are re-branded and sold by known boutique brand OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers)… notably Sager, VoodooPC, Falcon Northwest, Eurocom, etc.
They are also considered (by whoever knows about notebooks) to design and manufacturer the best of the best notebooks in terms of superior build quality and innovative designs.

It is indeed, I mentioned it later. I didn't notice the ones he mentioned. Alienware is indeed still better and as the OP mentioned, beyond his price cut.

But the m14x is just like 1k usd, That's just like and extra 200 usd for 2x more ram and 3x more Graphics, not to mention a faster hardrive and core. Wonder how can the price be so high over there...

I too wonder why.
Also the Alienware doesn't seem to be SO much more powerful
I don't need much RAM and the video card seems just a little bit faster.
Also 14" screen is a bit too little.

14-inch display and it's much more expensive in Europe indeed. Here it costs circa $1150-1200, so it's a $300-400 difference - an ammount not everyone can afford it.

This is my last post in this thread. This machine is comparable to an M14x, and much more capable than the Asus linked earlier.
http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-555M.41933.0.html

If you can't see that you're essentially getting an M14x here for a fraction of the price, then I won't stop you from looking at Asus/Acer models.

 

[jarejare3]

The price is in euro which means itreally cost 748.111875 U.S. dollars
So it's not really cheaper, and It could NOT match the m14x here, Cause the m14x have a quad core that has more Hz comparing to the duo core you mention, has 2x more ram, more graphics power, more bigger resolution and longer battery life.

The asus recommended by the Op is Actually more powerful than the one you recommend actually by sheer CPU power. not to mention cheaper. It's comparable to that but not the m14x unfotunately.

EDIT:I don't really know is that pound or Euro? Cause if it is pound that it would cost 901.49 USD

It has a Geforce 555M graphics card- the same as an Alienware.

A 2gb one while the m14x has 3 gb, so it "literally" have more graphic power.

well graphics memory doesn't make much of a difference, but the Alienware is customizable to 3gb memory. At 1000USD it has 1.5 GB video memory.

 

[jarejare3]

Wut? It comes with 3gb in my one lol

EDIT:oh you mean the dell one? I mean my country's online shop, it comes with that that full spec for around 3299 MYR, Which is around 1099 usd.

And what about a ps3/xbox360.
Are they better suited to gaming than a pc since all pc titles are on them and they also have exclusives(kinect, god of war).
I wonder if they'll get new games 2012/2013.

 

[Originality]

Depends on the games and the control scheme you prefer. For shooters, it's generally easier to buy a console. For RPGs, I prefer it on PC. For RTS, they're mostly PC exclusives. The only issue is storing all those game boxes and, of course, paying for all those games.
If you choose to hack, PS3 is limited to v3.55. There are ways to play newer games, but it's getting harder and harder. Xbox360 can either be soft-hacked, flashed or chipped fairly easily if you know how (or know someone who knows how), and rather difficult if you don't. With Xbox, there is no way out of having to pay for extra hardware.

With PC, there's Steam and Origin which makes it easier to buy and manage your games, providing you have the internet speed/bandwidth to download all your games.

 

[ilman]

I'm more a 3d platformer/racer kind of guy(yes you can see it from my avatar).
I just wonder, the old xboxes can be flashed to run disks, right?
Can these xboxes run kinect?
Also I just found an xbox 360 slim with RGH (Reset Glitch Hack) for 250 USD (380 BGN) with a 60 GB hard drive.
Can this so called reset glitch hack run games from an external hard drive?

 

[Originality]

To run games from an external drive, all you need is a chip inbetween. Have a look at these two reviews for more information. You don't need a hack for these to work.
As for flashing the DVD drive, I believe all but the newest Xbox360 Slim drives can be flashed with the current version of iXtreme LT (3.0 was it?). The version of the dashboard doesn't matter, so basically they can ALL use kinect.
For the RGH... I don't know anything about it. I'm not keeping up to date on the scene.
EDIT: Had a very quick look over a RGH guide... it's not easy. If you don't know how to use a solder iron, don't even think about trying it.

It says that the xbox has RGH and as I'm looking at the features the price is very good.
It's a Falcon xbox 360 lite with a joypad, 60GB hard drive (I have a 640 GB external hard drive), it has Lt 2.0, XexMenu 1.1 and FreeStyle Dashboard.
And he sells an extra controller for 30$.
I think I've found a very good offer-I'll skip a new laptop for now.

 

[jarejare3]

if someone reccomends alienware, dont ever read their other reccomdeations. alienware is overpriced.

Well, usually I would not recommend Alienware, But that model is kinda of a good deal.... i mean 1k usd for that...
