My budget is about $1200-$1300 I've spent the last 4 years with a low end desktop (i.e. tf2 30 fps, l4d 25 all low settings) so I would like to get something that would run those games smoothly... I'm am behind on knowing what the best processors, cards, etc.. I like the XPS 16 but is it a rip? Suggestions would be nice [url]http://www.dell.com/us/en/home/notebooks/laptop-studio-xps-16/pd.aspx?refid=laptop-studio-xps-16&cs=19&s=dhs[/url]

I'm leaning on the gaming laptop any ideas how it will run tf2 and l4d cause that is all i care about
I suggest buying hp or dell when going for laptop.

Still need a new laptop regardless long due grad gift you see...
I have personal experience with the XPS 1640, and the thing is absolutely awesome. However, the battery life is absolutely shit at 2hrs for the 6-cell, and a "not bad" 4 hours with the 9-cell. It gets a little toasty at the front, but the bump of the 9-cell would help that.
get the asus and a 1005HA
Probably gonna buy that laptop today 1005HA? I have no idea what that is
it is a netbook 10+ hrs of battery life
