It should be a pretty good gaming lappy, but I havent been reading much about it. Here is a good thread to read about for your laptop though.

I always feel bad for linking other forums on gamespot. But your not going to learn much here. Those forums have taught me so much just from reading around. I've been in the search for a good gaming laptop for under 1k(waiting for good sales) for about 3months now. Almost settled with the G71GX, but the screen was just so horrid(along with a few other minor probs) I just couldnt stand it, and ended up returning it.

Ok thanks a lot.

Indeed those forums are very helpful! I'm going to have a think about it but it seems like I might settle with the G51JX :)

Where is the Nvidia Gefore GTS 360M ?

You're not very talkative are you ;)

Oh ok :)

Well do you think it will run games such as MW2 in high graphics with a high FPS ?

The way I see it, a CPU for a laptop can't be changed later on, however external storage space can be bought. Therefore the one with the better processor, however at a $150 difference, I really don't know. Probably not worth it if those are the only two differences.polarwrath11

Okay thanks a lot.

Indeed those two are the only differences but I'm still not sure.I'll give it a think :)

Thanks a lot to everyone who helped :D

Leonard

Thank you very much,

I see the difference of the 2 laptops are $150.

The differences are instead of aIntel® Core™ i3-330M 2.13GHz (3M cache) you get aIntel® Core™ i5-520M 2.40GHz (2.93Ghz Turbo Mode, 3M cache) and

for the cheaper one you even get a bigger harddrive, 500GB instead of 320GB ( wtf :| ).

Would you advice the more expensive build instead of the cheaper one, comparing it with the price?

Thanks,

Leonard

Hey guys!

Well, I'm looking into a gaming laptop. So I've started some researching and I've come to that with my max budget lieing around $1000, more or less, Dell XPS seems to be a good choice.

It should be able to run games such as Need For Speed, Call of Duty ( 4,5,6 ), Left 4 Dead and look-a-likes at a high frame rate and Medium - High Graphics.

No, I am not a professional gamer and I play maybe 2 hours on a week day and more on a weekend day and use it also for school work - Word, Excel etc.

There are two types I've been mainly looking into, the Dell XPS Studio 15 and the Dell XPS Studio 16.

The main factor that I'm comparing these two is the Price Factor.

Dell Studio 15 comes at the lowest price of $699 and at the price of $1149 fully upgraded

Dell Studio 16 comes at the lowest price of $949 and at the max of my budget $1099.

Please give me some advice in which gaming laptop to buy,

Thanks!

Leonard
