(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); This BBG (Best Buy Guide) is about Gaming laptops, I will be making a list and keep it up to date with the best gaming laptops, and their prices. I will categorize all the laptops in the following sections;

Budget = Affordable
Gaming = A bit expensive (but more powerful) Mostly i5
Extreme
= Really expensive (but alot more powerful) Mostly i7

First off, dont expect too much off 'extreme/high end gaming' on a laptop. Laptops are made to be moveable, so keep in mind that a desktop is much more powerful!
Anyway, I want to start off with this list, if you know any good gaming laptops please post them and Ill add them to the list. Also, they dont have to be categorized as a gaming laptop, but have to be able to handle games well.
About Alienware: I've put this in, because they do have the strongest gaming laptops in the world. But please, never buy Alienware unless you want to spend $300 just for the name 'Alienware', they do have greatly build machines though, but still they charge way too much (in europe).

Building your own Gaming Desktop will come much cheaper and will get you about 2 or 3 times better performance for the same price!

I saw other posts you made, saying 'dont take a laptop to edit', 'dont take a laptop to play games',
but some people need laptops to be mobile and/or dont have space for a desktop.. Also its easy to take with you
on vacations and school.

Well. If you do really want one. Don't spend more than $700 on one. You will regret it.

Totally up to the person buying.
I dont think I would regret buying an Asus G70isch model, would regret it when I buy an Alienware for 3000$ now
and have to sell it for 500$ two years later.. Anyway it depends on what you need Smile

When i look at the requirements for minimum level of gameplay on mw2 pc it says it needs a 3.0GHz processor .. None of these computers have at, does that mean that they wontwork or am I getting something mixed up?


EDIT: requirements are

Would have been a much better guide if you posted on what specs to buy rather than an already branded/built laptop. Prices are extremely high, as well.
