It took me quite a while to come up with the best laptop for the price. It is equip with a 500GB hard drive which I upgraded to a Seagate 250gb 7200 rpm drive to get more performance. It has 2 hard drive bays, so I am using the 500GB hard drive as a storage drive. This laptop cost me about 1260 after I upgraded the hard drive. It has a total of 4gb of ddr3 memory (upgradeable to 8gb of ddr3), 2.53ghz dual core duo, and a 9800M GTS. I threw Windows 7 on it and here are some game ratings:
Game Performance:
On Left 4 Dead, I managed to get 40-110 fps with 2x aa and 4x Anisotrophic and the rest on high settings.
TF2, I managed to stay steady at 60fps in open areas with a lot of action going on with max settings, no aa and trilinear filtering.
With World of Warcraft, I hit 40-45FPS in Dalaran and 80-95FPS in Orgrimmar and other major cities with MAX settings.
One bonus with this laptop is the sound quality is great and it has a built in mic so a headset is not absolutely needed. Overall I am impressed with this laptop and it is going to be a great mobile gaming laptop.
