I'm starting to do some research for a new laptop. I was wondering if anyone knows companies that make gaming/high performance pcs. Along the lines of Maingear Computers | High Performance Computers Customize Yours Now. and http://http://us.msi.com/ Anyone have experience using their laptops? I don't have a budget in mind, I'm just trying to find what's available. Thanks for any help.

    Dell's Alienware line of laptops aimed at gamers too.

    I was recently made aware of Sager, they're fairly low cost for the performance and i've heard good things. Looking into getting the little 12 inch model myself.

    I have an MSI gaming machine and it's amazing. It's the second one of their gaming laptops I have purchased and have been very satisfied each time. If you are looking to customize a little more (and probably pay a little more) then you could look at Digital Storm. They have some great machines as well.

    I have heard good things about Sager. I had an Alienware laptop it was the R1 which was an epic piece of fail. Notebook review forums had a super long thread of people who had lock up issues myself included. Dell released an R2 version soon after which replaced the Nvidia cards with AMD. I spent numerous hours with customer support and never got it resolved.

    I am not big on gaming laptops because you pay through the nose for that extra five percent improvement.

    I have also heard really good things about Sagar computers. From what I understand if you want a good gaming computer for a decent price to go with them.

    I don't know about nowadays, but years ago Alienware used to just be branded Clevo/Sager laptops with some nice eye-candy added on. It was nice for repair parts, Clevo parts were much less expensive than anything branded Alienware.

    Yeah I noticed this as well, back then before Dell bought them out the Sager cases were the same minus the Alienware logo.

    For the official launch of Windows 8 on October 26th, many manufacturers (Sony, Dell, Asus) have announced new laptop models with touch screen.

    The Sony VAIO Duo 11 slider PC looks interesting: Sony's VAIO Duo 11 Windows 8 slider goes on sale this month, starts at $1,100 -- Engadget

    Republic of Gamers - The Choice of Champions - News, Gaming, Guides, Overclocking for gaming laptops.. heard nothing but positive reviews about em


    i recently puchased a laptop but not for gaming.. it still runs diablo 3 (the only PC game i play!) in high settings though

    7 15.6"

    the price is a steal for the specs and the build.. i absolutely LOVE the alloy frame of this samsung laptop, its so solid and sleek looking.
