    Default Best Gaming Laptop

    I need to know what the best gaming laptop I can get is. Is it really alienware? I need a good enough laptop that can run super high end games such as Aion and also be able to run super large scale battles smoothly. My laptop is currently annoying me now. Everytime I get into a good pt to grind on those late game higher lvl mobs, at some point if the party is too big or theres too much animation going on (skills, environment, etc) my computer sick lags up. I press a button and I get dont get a response for a good few seconds. It's really effin annoying. Someone help me. Any suggestions for good laptops? Try and give 2 suggestions. One with no budget range and another option for a good laptop that isn't too pricy. (the cheaper laptop still has to be able to run all that was said above)

    Aion is way way way not super highend...

    Spec wise:
    Clevo W860CU, for under 15"; M980NU, 18".

    Deliver the same (usually a little ahead of time), cost half than AW and are by a manufacturer that used to handle the production of the AW laptops, before they were taken over by Dell (and before all the heavy quality problems started).

    Also, we happen to have a tech-section.

    I don't plan on getting a desktop til I get a place of my own. For now, portability is more important to me. I want to be able to play all my games wherever I go. A desktop will be my home base where all the magic happens xD but until I can have a place of my own to call my gaming fortress, I'm pretty much gonna be interrupted with people coming in and out of the room if I go with a desktop. I don't know too much about computers so all the previous spec information and what not totally just flew by me lol so I'm pretty much just leaving it up to the forums to help me with a solution. I will go with whatever the general concensus decides.

    Help me ):


    Edit: Also, if possible, try and suggest laptops that will be easy to get. (e.g. off a website with easy configurations; like how for alienware, all you have to is go to dell.com and customize your alienware with easy step by step instructions. add to cart. pay. and your done.) Kinda don't wanna go scavenger hunting and dealing with all these hard laptop optionals that people like me who aren't too computer savy wouldn't understand.

    The lag is the hundreds of people you need to pull info on @ a spread lag from optimal to gruesome.
    That's where the not so much really random delays jump in.

    Imagine the fun of them starting to switching gears randomly as fast as they can.

    It's all networking issues, not gfx.

    It probably will explode during sieges, where my desktop (q9550, 4gb ddr2, gtx285) runs at an average of 10fps.

    It's not the video that is lagging you.
    I doubt that you will notice a performance difference between 4AA and 0AA, but even if you do; It's practically as if you would take a game with hundreds of randomly called delay functions in it and use it to test performance.
