Well said TC.

Bethesda bashers made it sound as if Oblivion was the worst game of the current gen, where in reality, it isn't bad at all and I actually really enjoyed it. And this is without using mods and all. The only real problem with Oblivion was the levelling system and how other monsters leveled with you. Other than that, I thought it was fantastic. And now, Bethesda comes out and produces an absolute masterpiece in Fallout 3. I think this is more than enough to silence the critics.

hmm by lookign back im amaze how 7950GTX SLI was Better then 8700M Sli. but tough it was in the Grade 1 Top 19th. is Video card is 9th place it will be doing good job. someting better 8800gTs sli better then 9800GTS single but it expensive he shoudl be fine with a 9800gTS marcthpro

I'm sorry and I don't mean to offend you or anything, but it's a bit hard to read and understand your posts :P

@bakalhau90 Thanks for your input. I'm coming pretty close to buying this now...

Don't bother getting any sort of gaming laptop if you're going off to college. The battery life will end up running-out in the middle of class, and you'll be left with nothing. I would suggest getting a nice ultra-portable, then spend the rest of your budget by upgrading your existing computer.kodex1717

Well I'm not really planning to bring it around that much, so I think it'd be just fine. Anyway, I heard the battery life for this is 1-2 hours, which is respectable for a gaming laptop I guess.

What kind of a question is that??...hands down S.T.A.L.K.E.R...Oblivion is one of those "play if u wanna sleep early" kindda games..it bored the living hell outta me..great game though too bad it wasnt fast paced as stalker...!!!duanejake

Have to disagree there. Oblivion is hands down better, no doubt about it. More open gameplay, bigger map, and all in all it stood out from the rest in it's genre a lot more than S.T.A.L.K.E.R. did in the FPS genre. Clear Sky doesn't look too promising too...

if you want a good laptop il seek for you what you aim for gamer laptop ?
aim toshiba satellite Series and if you got 1700-1900$ take an alienwire With Sli 8700M GT But you would only be able to play with those Two card which would give twice more power in game when ur stationary mode like plugged into car adatpr or house / or place eletricty hole :D cause the battery will consume fast :P like 1 hour and half and it gone

just readed the first part and i did re-edit so you want a gaming laptop ilt ry to find cause gaming laptop hmm let say if you single laptop you should not go behind 8600GT in video card picking and if yo want really to play someting two card = 8700M SLI
those are sold in alienware & toshiba models it the difference vs dell. even if the enterprise it same for dell / alienware
alienware alway focus on gaming and dell / mutli tasking and w/e but laptop can't be own piece collected and changed
so and the laptop in question for 1300-1500-1700$ iv speaken as 17 inch to 15 inch model with huge graphic power
ram can be change anytime to extra for low money marcthpro

OK, but I would like your opinion on how what you suggested matches up with this laptop that I recently found interesting, and am currently considering.

@USD1719 ( This is why I'm really interested in it now, there's a USD600 off promotion )

I'm curious as to how a pair of 8700M SLi'ed compares to this laptop's 9800M GTS
