1. I;d like to keep it at a max of 1300 dollars, not use to spending this much money due to my desktop lasting so long '-'
2. size doesnt matter, but i will be using it for school, and gaming
3. Id like to have an HD screen but i wont be picky if thats a deciding factor
4. ill be taking my laptop to college so instead of dragging my desktop i want a gaming/schoolwork laptop.
5. battery wont matter i wont be gaming during class
6. I wanna play GW2/Skryim etc on maxed, im use to playing any game on max minus the crazy ones like BF3 (get some lag), id really like to find a gaming laptop thatll last me at least 4 years, my 9800 gt has lasted me playing anything i throw at it at/nearly max since 2008
7. i wont be doing any other tasks like photo editing etc
8. storage isnt a problem, i barely even use 100 gigs of my 500 i have now
9. im looking at laptops from toshiba,dell xps, alienware, etc
10. id just need a optical drive for installing games etc
11. id like to buy an alienware( i like having different things, not just the plain old silver laptop)
12. i live in the US
13. i cant believe laptops are so expensive , i guess were handing money out for the mobility aspect ;/, im looking at the alienware m11k and m14k, ill be picking the i7 cpu over the i5 i guess? or is that too much power? with 6 ggis of ddr3,the big problem im running into is graphics cards, ive read over the chart and the ones with the 1300 alienware are 2 steps up from my current desktop card, so i take it those cards will last me a good 4+ years as my 9800 gt did/doing?i have found some really good deals on ebay with a refurbished m14x with a lot of upgrades ill post link below. any help much apreciated
