(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!

At least I can fight
Nice, this is actually useful, I want a new one. Atm I have a MBP 2010 15" i7 4GBRAM and GeForce 430M or something, it overheats and I will be claiming in some way from this, it's allready been sorted. I either get a refund or newest model, which I would sell anyway.

As for these, im stuck between the MSI GT780R and the Asus G53JW, it's just these two things that make me wonder, 1.73 GHz (Quad Core) one is 1.73 GHz and quad core but the other is 2.00 GHz and not quad core :/ what's the performance difference or such, help?

I really can't say, I don't own a Quadcore, but I will look it up later on today for you.
Also, I'm going to add a couple cheaper laptops (around 700-800 euros) that will run alot of games maxed out at 30-60 FPS so you might wanna have a look at them (will put them in today or sunday)

Asus gives you much more, for less.
On the other hand, Alienware looks awesome and they're known to have very strong and solid cases.
I myself got this one 2 days ago;
