Laptop?

I wish Alienware still made the m11x. That little thing was great.

Gaming specific laptops such as Alienware's are much to pricey for what you are getting. As others have said, you are much better off building a desktop.

If you insist on a laptop, then I recommend you look for one that carries the AMD A10 APU. Best performance/price ratio.

And you were mentioning spinning... Ha ha ha! You're a funny guy. Obviously a little clueless, but funny! 

My local Media Markt when I was in Germany

Thanks :) I think you're quite entertaining as well !

A hardcore gaming laptop isn't worth it imo. When you are home, might as well play on a desktop, and when you are on the go, your laptop will be severly limited unless its plugged in to an outlet.

As others have said. Look up some tutorials on building a PC, it really isn't hard at all. Originally mine cost me $350 and it could run most games fine on high settings on my 1600x900 monitor. But even if you are looking for the best, after I upgraded graphics cards to a 7850 my total cost is $500 and I can run any game, even battlefield 3, maxed on on my new 1080p monitor. Then get a decent laptop for $500-$600. It will be able to handle casual gaming, the type you might do on the go. Heck my $500 hp laptop from a year ago can even run skyrim on medium on battery power if I really wanted to play that on the go. 

You will still be saving money when compared to a top of the line gaming laptop, and your desktop will smoke anything that costs under $2000. Also wait for deals, especially on laptops and graphics cards. I waited for a promotion and got a free $100 gift card with my laptop. And my graphics card I got for around $50 under msrp along with a rebate. Nowadays they are giving away lots of big games with top of the line graphics card. Especially AMD ones. Just be patient and you can save a lot of money.

1. Yes, necessarily. A good gaming desktop can have a kilowatt PSU. Don't even dream about that on a laptop.

2. Costs less money. Period.

3. You accepted that.

4. It doesn't matter what you buy. You can't get internal cooling; that is, you can't cool components separately, which is what cooling is all about. Also, there's water (or even liquid N if you're crazy) cooling. Even with the inferior (performance wise) components that laptops have, they run hotter, because everything is crammed into a small space.

5. Internal 3.5" SATA is cheaper than an external drive. Plus, where's the mobility if you have to carry around a 1 meter cable and an extra hard drive?

6. I honestly don't know why mobility > connectivity. But to be fair, I also don't quite understand the original point.

=> Much better performance. Objective.

thanks for such a long/detailed response But i want it to be portable, mostly because of the following reasons .I dont want it to be fixed at home .I want to be able to go with it to a friends house and play LAN mp .I want to play at work .I want to play modern games (DOLPHIN included) at work

1. Funny how you use the words ''could'' and  ''necessairly in the same point. Epic contradiction right there lol xD. If something COULD happen , its not necessairy

2. Wow, great argument, I am convinced

4. You dont need all that stuff on lap top. Laptops consume less power and thus dont overheat as much as PCs. But my point was that a cooling device on a laptop works just fine. What PC has is irrelevant actually.

5. Laptops do have a built in HDD's too, you know? You can use external only at home if you want, or you can bring them with you on a trip. 1 meter cable or not, laptops will always be billion times more moble than any PC.

6.Well then sorry, I cant help you :/

Another great argument there
