Gaming laptop

Post by StarBound »

My brothers been talking about leaving the desktop space and going mobile with a gaming laptop. I know the 680gtx or 680m or some chip based on the kepler has made its way to the laptop scene. Does anyone know any good gaming laptops? Preferably, actually, must be 17" with atleast a quad core and as mentioned the new kepler gpu?

If you want a gaming laptop wait until Ivy bridge dude.

Seriously you'll be kicking yourself if you don't.l

Asus Republic Of Gamers G55 and G75 are due to drop at the end of this month.

Yeah I also figured he should wait. Infact just spoke to him and said it is a good idea to wait until IB and Kepler are on the same lappy. I have checked the net a bit though. Got 2 options so far.

The Asus ROG G75 and then also saw a Toshiba Qosmio X875.

What would something like that go for?

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

I guess R15k+. While I wont give up my desktop I can see why my bro would go for something more mobile though. Hence looking for something that will give the best possible experience he can get.

Ok I've looked into the ASUS G75 laptops. There seems to be a VM and a VW. One has a SSD and gtx 670M while the other has a normal harddrive and 660M. Apart from the price difference I don't see available stock or pricing or reviews on them. Someone other has a youtube vid of the one but not the other while the other is just how unboxings.
