This is hands-down probably the best you can get "within budget".

It cost 1399 U.S. Dollars... So, you'll be paying extra for shipping and tax.

MSI or Asus would be your best bet in europe, getting a sager might be problematic since it's a company based out in California, USA and I am not aware if they got service centers in europe. Chances are if you want a clevo case there's probably a company out in europe under a different name that makes custom laptops based on a clevo casings.

RE links: both Asus and MSI specs look good,(although MSI specs are a bit lacking)

Well, let me explain what I've found on the amazon description.

It says: 1TB hard drive with Raid 0
why is it raid 0 if it's only 1 hard drive?

It says: 16GB DDR3 system memory
I'm not sure if that's true, I haven't seen any gaming laptops that need that much RAM, plus it doesn't list the speed that ram is working at.

There's also no info on what mobo this is all riding on.

Um its 500+500=1TB which explains the raid
And the 16GB part is true ive seen many reviews about it xD
I have no idea about the mobo tho

alright, as long as you believe amazon, I personally don't.

This is a great laptop, it is out of the budget that you listed, so, have you increased your budget? If you have, then I will probably be able to find something better then the G73 that I listed.

No problem! I sort have forgot about this thread (sorry!)
Luckily, Fry's (American Tech retailer) ships internationally, here is the ultimate laptop for 1400 Dollars.
I held it back because you'd have to pay extra for the shipping and taxes, but since your okay with paying a bit extra... you'll be fine: http://www.frys.com/product/6684004?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG


This is the monster.

wow nice find
beast graphics card o_o
how much for the shipping tho D;

 

[hpfreak]

It depends on where you live. You can enter an address and see what they'll charge.
Ignore that shipping calculator, it is for US only... Just click checkout, then enter your billing info. credit card details, and address... then just hit next, review your order (it will show you your total) then just print out the details... and wait a while for the awesome laptop to arrive at your doorstep

i find four flaws with that laptop. one, your paying for 8gb of ram you dont need. two, the hard drive is slow. 5400rpm drive is not worth its weight in gold. three, it says that the vram is 3 gb when the 560m has a max vram capacity of 1.5gb. so a little bit of false advertisement there. finally fourth, dont buy from fry's. they are horrible when it comes to customer service. i had a gpu go out on my old laptop and six months later they finally just give me a new laptop. it went to california and back twice after the first time they broke the screen and wouldnt pay for it and on top of that they would never answer or return phone calls. im not the only one that has problems with frys. many friends have had problems too.

I've never had issues with fry's.. But if it's true... Then that Sager laptop may be a better option.

im kinda confused now. you dont want the sager cause it will cost about 200 dollars to ship but your fine with the MSI that cost 1650 before shipping. especially when they both have the same gaming performance?

and wouldnt most places cost the same to ship?

thats a stretch. they both have the same components and the same gaming potential. sager has always been an extremely reputable brand with great customer service. just something to think about.
