    Gaming Laptop - Alienware 17 or Asus G751JY ?

    The G751 is perhaps the best gaming laptop out for the money right now imo. Can be had for under £1500 with a 980m, is the quietest gaming laptop by a large margin and they seem fairly reliable, they're also so popular they appear to be selling out in most places. The Alienware is a strong...

    ** INSANE GIGABYTE HARDCORE GAMING LAPTOP DEAL!! **

    Simply not true. My P37X was as loud as my wifes hairdryer and my X7 even louder, they lasted a day and an hour respectively before the return process was initiated. By comparison my G751 is barely audible, my wifes G750 even less so and the GT72 I used was not even close to P37X noise...

    The Alienware Graphics Amplifier: Finally, desktop quality graphics on your laptop

    The enclosure is the same size as a modest desktop, hideously expensive and you're trapped with the laptop internal specs. I'd much rather spend a little more to build a gaming desktop for home use. That little extra would be very easy to find if not buying on overpriced and underspecced...

    Asus G751JY ROG Gaming laptop IPS display

    At the level you're shopping at they're all excellent performers tbh, you can't go wrong. Some are better value, some have a nuance of spec here or there and some have great support(though not all) but what they share is an end product that performs really well out the box, you just have to...

    Asus G751JY ROG Gaming laptop IPS display

    MSI do tend to be a bit more experience than most of the competition, I know the MSI rep has replied above helping to explain why, but honestly it's just best to accept they aren't the cheapeat option. Thankfully they tend to be great machines which helps justify the premium. Asus tends to be...

    ** NEW NVIDIA 9xx SERIES NOTEBOOKS AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER FROM MSI!! **

    Yup, that's what I was saying above. Lga is the direction intel is pushing, not much anyone can do about it for new hardware. The gt72 I've used was indeed excellent, the cooling being second only to a g750 and the gt72 is less bulky too, they're both in a league of their own chassis wise...

    ** NEW NVIDIA 9xx SERIES NOTEBOOKS AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER FROM MSI!! **

    So I discovered earlier, sounding like we may have a winner. Preaching to the choir my friend, I very much agree.

    ** NEW NVIDIA 9xx SERIES NOTEBOOKS AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER FROM MSI!! **

    Correct, sadly I think it is the way of things to come. Cheers mate, appreciate the heads up. We've got a pair of g750's atm with the better cpu and 8gb 880's however the screen is poor and a problem for me to work on and games like diablo 3 have problems with gpu switching back and forth...

    ** NEW NVIDIA 9xx SERIES NOTEBOOKS AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER FROM MSI!! **

    Disappointing to still see the same cpu in the GT72, would really expect 4810 or better to acompany the 980gtx, especially for a flagship model. I know the reason is the cpu being soldered to the mainboard and still having plenty of GT72 stock with 8 series gpus to shift, but still dissapointed...

    Dream/target Spec from MSI? ARJiBEAR

    GT72, cooling on this chassis is just too good to pass up. I7 and 4810, please no 4710 parts with new 870 and 880. 16gb 1 SSD is fine so long as there is room for another. 1TB is fine for a storage drive. 17.3, IPS can't happen but there are better and worse screens out there and i'd pay...

    MSI GAMING NOTEBOOKS

    I7 4810 is a good start or at least have mainboards that allow upgrades to future chips. GTX 980 is another desire, though I know the NDA is still up on that one. 17inch 1080p IPS screen would be very nice, I know no one is doing them right now from the looks of it, but I can dream. I've got...

    2001 called, they want their laptop back: An XP Laptop with a serial port and reasonable battery lif

    Another vote for the D630. My mother uses our old one from 2007 and it still works perfectly, had to tighten the hinges twice, it has a serial on the back as required and batteries are easy to find as are all spare parts you could ever need.

    ** MSI GT72 DOMINATOR GAMING LAPTOPS NOW AVAILABLE!! **

    Interested in a 3rd laptop in the next month or so, currently running a pair of Asus g750 JZ with the 4860 cpu and 8gb gpu. These look like they match the perfect g750 cooling solution nicely, which is the quietest laptop cooling i've ever experienced. Couple of GT72 related questions, do we...

    Need some advice, What am I entitled to? (Gigabyte RMA)

    Congrats on getting it resolved mate. The irony of the Gigabyte reps defending their service and then the laptop coming back bent was a humorous conclusion to this story at least. Ha ha. We've just taken delivery of a pair of Asus g750JZ after trying a few other gaming laptops in the past few...

    Need some advice, What am I entitled to? (Gigabyte RMA)

    Cheers mate, yeah they're an option. Really wanted 4810mq and gtx 880 though.

    Need some advice, What am I entitled to? (Gigabyte RMA)

    Yeah it wasn't that this put me off, just that it stopped us impulsively clicking buy. It also reminded me of problems with a Gigabyte GTX 480 Super OC a few years back. It's nice to get a bit of reality from time to time, overclockers has been our default shop for almost 15 years and the...

    Need some advice, What am I entitled to? (Gigabyte RMA)

    Thanks for posting this Robbsy, sorry you've had so much hassle getting such a simple problem fixed. This was especially useful to me as we were about to order a pair of Gigabyte P25x laptops for my wife and I.

    Keyboard/Mouse Adapter Good or Bad.

    To be fair, of the few hundred xim and other adapter users I don't think more than a few percent are disability users, it's niche within niche. But I do agree with your sentiment, its great the solution is there, even if it is for a tiny handful of users. The last mod I did for someone was...

    Keyboard/Mouse Adapter Good or Bad.

    Not that it's any of your business, and not that it has anything to do with the question posed or the topic being discussed, but today, none. My right hand along with various other parts had a through and through from shrapnel severing tendons to the index and middle finger. During the...

    Keyboard/Mouse Adapter Good or Bad.

    You get there slowly, raising 1 point or 10% per week and stop when the benefits do. When my accuracy with a controller goes below 20% for an extended period I know I've gone too far (10% for lmg's).
