There are 2 versions of the G71, one with a Quad Core and one with a Dual Core. Which one are you looking at? (link would be helpful). I may have a couple of other suggestions for you depending on how much you want to spend.

As per your question, yes a GTX 260M should be able to play MW2. They haven't released requirements for the game yet, but the card handles COD4 fairly well.

For that budget take a look @ SAGER NP 8690 which has the new i7 CPUs + GTX 280M:

Yup that's good too but the combination of i7+GTX 280M will give better performance than C2D+GTX 260M in games but yes that's another good choice and its cheaper :)

^No, the ones we listed are about the best in your price range. The GTX 280 seems to really bump the price range up a good deal.

Hey Maz, we need to give Alienware a swift kick in the butt. They claim that their M15x with an i7 and max of a GTX 260 is the fastest 15'' laptop available. Clearly with the NP 8690 that's not the case. Oh and their $1500 base config only comes with a GT 240? Wake up Alienware!

Yeah lol,when i first saw the new m15x i thought its the fastest but after a few seconds i saw the new Sager model,it's interesting that AW is claiming that they have the fastest 15" notebook :D they forgot Sager.
The Sager model is cheaper too

Yes it is a good gaming laptop with GTX260M. You should be able to play most high end games with this specification...

Is the weight and size of the laptop important for you ?
