Hardware So I'm looking for a new laptop...

[jceggbert5]

I'm in the search of a new laptop. I have been sporting a 2.1 Sempron, 3GB DDR2, 160GB HDD, Vista Basic, 15.6" for over 2 years now. I am tired of it.

What I am looking for is a super gaming laptop with a

Sandy Bridge i7 Quad 2.0ghz+,
8+GB DDR3 (but capable of 16+),
7 Home Premium (or better),
17+inch screen,
NVidia 3DVision (built-in to the screen),
3-year on-site accidental warranty,
some sort of theft protection,
9- or 12-celll battery,
4 USB3 ports (a couple USB3 ones would be nice),
Blu-Ray Writer,
VGA Adapter,
DUAL 750GB or 1TB HDDs (RAID1 capability preferred, but I can use Mirror if needed...)

I am looking for something under $2500... I have one customized from Dell (an XPS 17), but I want to know if anyone knows of any cheaper...

Here is one from the brand CLevo, and here is a site to buy it from, meets all of your spec's

"meets all of your spec's "
The Clevo only has an 8-celled battery. He wants 9+.

If I can get 3-5 hrs of idling with it, it is acceptable.

@murkurie On the Xotic site, there is no 3d option. There is also not an on-site warranty.

Forgot to mention that I am in the USA....

I have the exact same laptop linked to and highly recommend it. Its gaming performance is simply amasing and it runs cool. I am not sure about battery time but I frequently watch movies on battery that are over 1 hr and 30 minutes in length. After watching a 45 minute movie series on battery, I have about 65% left. Go here if you want more information.

Is there 3D? Where can I buy the 3D version?

As far as I remember, there is a 3D version that uses the GTX580M and a 120Hz screen. If you ask or search in that link I gave you, they will know everything. Bare in mind that 3D will most likely have a huge impact on gaming performance.
