I am eye balling the Gateway FX Edition Laptop http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9172511&type=product&id=1218043606827

and

The Alienware m15x mobile gaming laptop http://www.alienware.com/customize/area-51-m15x-notebook.aspx?SysCode=PC-LT-AREA51M15X-AI1&SubCode=SKU-DEFAULT

Both are around the same price but one is more mobile than the other. Which is not too much of a big deal for me because I rarely play unplugged anyways. What I want to know however is. For the price which one is better. And I of course mean stock price for the alienware. With no upgrades and at its standard price with that it comes with. Which is the better gaming laptop?

The FX or the m15x?

Neither, they are both overpriced, pretty average machines, you say you never play unplugged, so why not just get a desktop PC for alot cheaper. Trust me, with that cash, you can get alot better machines, dont rush into it just because it looks pretty. However, if you decide to be stubborn about it, then why not just search some videos of both the gfx cards and cpus on youtube?

Sager NP8662

It's a amazing value, not a rip off, and a beast of a machine.

Some people don't like hauling their desktop and monitor to a friends house to game. Laptops are better solutions than most realize on this board. I'd go for a Sager, better specs, and a much better deal than Alienware.

Sager would be your best bet. but they are still a little over priced and reliant on products outside their control, like the fan and harddrive on my Sager 2090, which are a constant pain. but look around and you can find some good deals
