How good are gaming laptops

the 5870 mobile is 70% as fast as a desktop 5870,

the quad core is at 1.6 ghz, the desktop is at 2.8 ghz + ( EASILY overclocked to 3.6 ghz)

ram will be faster on desktop but its not huge.

also for 1500 you could get two 5870s and crossfire.


I would say over all 3 times faster in games .

sounds like the asus G73JH which from what iv herd is at least top 10 of any laptop its peaty cool its got a big intake vent in the middle (bottom) and 2 enormis vents with fans out the back. dont know how good they are though.

besides maby alienware (which i think they just try to replace descktops) i mean who needs xfire 5870s in a laptop and all the other crap. and the price you pay for the name is a wast. that the asus g73jh series is one of the best and for there 1500-1700 price tag you cant beat that .

without blueray i think you can get a 5870 2 500g hard drives that can be put in raid 1 or 0 and there 1080p which isnt stock on alienware. your looking at 1599.

Everything else being equal, there are less problems with a desktop as compared to a laptop.
