asus is good stuff.


but 800-1000 wont buy you a "real" gaming laptop.


laptops werent really meant for games.


many of them will do it, but..meh..

I realize laptops aren't preferable, but it's not very practical to bring a big desktop and all the components to Afghanistan.

There are good laptops out there for gaming (I own one), so they can be found. They're big heavy F'ers, but they can handle most games easily. For example, mine can run Skyrim, SC2, BF3, etc with no problems whatsoever.

ASUS G74 is pretty uber, yeah... battery life blows chunks, tho. 1 hour or so on a good run.

Qosmio would be better for the battery life.

Looks like the HP still has the better specs than the 1500 Toshiba.

I have an ASUS gaming laptop (G73JW) and it cost roughly $1500 new. I can play Skyrim on it no problem, but it can't do max settings. It could do max settings on everything else I had prior to that, though.
