None of them. They are all only 1080p. When are PC laptop makers going to get with it and put some real resolution into the displays? The Mac has been doing it for years. Heck, even tablet makers are doing it.Score

I don't think the extra little gimmicks, bells and whistles, make up for the highest price, slower cpu, least and slowest RAM, and the least storage space. Call me crazy

MSI GT60-2OD-261US = 15.6" 2880x1620res w/GTX780M + SSD's, 16gb/1600While it does have just a "simple" 780M (I wish I woulda known about the 880M) - how much better could the 880 possibly be? Even if it's as much as 20% better than a 780M, the -261US should be available at a reduced price sometime soon after the 880M-equipped "hit the market"; so, you're looking at $1700-1900 vs $2100-2200.

After owning several of the Asus ROG laptops in the past (G73, now G75) I would definitely pick the G750 and actually am planning to purchase it in the future. 24GB DDR3, 880M, 1TB SSHD (the JZ also comes with 2x 128GB SSD in RAID0) - The price looks steep, but the value is definitely there. Plus, above all, the cooling system on the Asus ROG laptops is way above the competition. I would choose the Asus for that reasons alone, but there are many reasons to pick it :-)

Rather have 10-15% less performance (870M) and the Razor Blade with 1800p screen, I mean 1080p is getting dated especially with graphics like 880M.I have a HD 7850 @1.15Ghz and run 1440p on BioShock infinity with settings on high and get 55 fps MIN! Also GRID 2 on high never going below 75fps. Which isn't that much faster then a 870M.

I have an existing desktop for gaming, but when I go visit my friends -- who also game, I want a laptop that can keep up. But a laptop is supposed to be PORTABLE. carrying these 17" behemoths around the airport or car is asking or trouble. The 2 15" models seem ok. but neither of them have a SSD, so i would get the one with the cheapest drive and drop in a proper ssd drive.

The 880M is much closer to a desktop 680 in terms of performance than a 680MX or a 770M, so it should be able push 1440p @high/ultra with playable fps.What are you smoking?

The 780M is slower than a GeForce 760, the 880M is at best 6-10% faster than the 780M, with more RAM to help with either higher res or mulitple monitors. It's nowhere near close to a desktop 680. It's if anything almost the same as a desktop 760 with a ton of extra VRAM, now.

I have the 780m with a MSI 15'6 laptop and a 3k screen. Most games I run at 1920x1080, some at the native resolution at 2880x1620. And it all looks fantastic, and depending on the game I pick the appropriate resolution and details for an appropriate framrate. It's not a big deal. The only thing the needs to get sorted, is that while i'm in desktop mode, I can make everything 150% so that I can actually see text etc. But while i'm gaming steam seems to show at the native resolution without the zoom, so it's tiny, haha. Not a big deal, but maybe Steam could work on that issue

You do understand that gaming on a laptop shouldn't be perfect. Price-wise it's also a rip off. When you buy a "gaming laptop" you need to understand that your maximum resolution usually wouldn't exceed 720p (This is perfect for gaming laptops).I have owned a 1080p laptop with a 6990M GPU. Although it was able to run all games maxed out at 1080p at high frame rates (And the screen was beautiful), it didn't live long. Laptops main issue for gamers is air cooling, due to all the hardware parts being crammed above each other. This problem causes all your hardware parts to overheat and eventually expire (Except in winter).I also paid the same amount of money on my much more superior PC with 2K 1440p screen that I paid on my gaming laptop. This is something to think about if mobility is not a priority to you since it comes at a price.You want above 1080p resolutions with stable temperatures and frame rates? Get a high-end PC.

Venaxis, some gaming laptops have a good cooling system and the components are tough. I have been running a distributed computing project on both the CPU and GPU of my gaming laptop for years with no failure. About 85 Celsius on the GPU nearly 24/7 sometimes into the 90s in the summer. The CPU sometimes gets to 80 C but usually stays around 75C. Asus G50VT Nvidia 9800GS, X9100 CPU overclocked to 3.45GHZ / 1.3125V 24/7.I wouldn't worry about components 'eventually expiring' (except in winter).

Yeah my laptop chassis is hot most of the time but I like number crunching. I don't have a desktop, my laptop is my primary machine. Of course I let it idle when on battery power of course.Yep buying gaming laptops new are a bad deal, buying one used though if you don't need max graphics..Score
