Hey guys, what's a good "work" laptop that's also decent at gaming and has a good battery life? Reason I ask is, I *may* be getting a work laptop (as in, work pays for it). So I'm considering altering my "get a beast gaming laptop" plan to a "get a work laptop that can run Skyrim on medium, and then build a desktop that's even more beast than the laptop I'd have gotten". This isn't at the "pick a specific model" stage yet. This is looking at options, seeing if this entire plan is worth it, or whether I should just convince the boss that a Core i7 and a 680M are *totally* *necessary* to run Komodo and xterm. Main requirements: Decent screen resolution. 1080p would be awesome, but 1600x900 or 1440x900 or something is fine Decently portable. Not netbook sized, but also not a massive "portable desktop" like I'd been considering Full keyboard MANDATORY - I'll be typing code on this shit all day Compatibility - It'll dual-boot, and needs to play nice with the office servers (Linux) and Macs. Not underpowered - I'd like to be able to play *light* games on it. Think "sneak in a round of BF3 during lunch". From what I gather, integrated might even qualify for this. Something *like* the laptop I had would actually work out well. What's the current equivalent of an Asus M50?

Check out the Asus G53 series of laptops. I have the G53SW. [url]http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Gaming_Powerhouse/G53SW/#specifications[/url]

Screen res is lacking, though. 1366x768 Portable, it's reasonably light for 15.6" Full keyboard except for numpad Certainly not underpowered, the 6630m will knock anything you throw at it. It's worth looking into, and under $1k. [editline]31st March 2012[/editline] Oh and 9 hour battery life.

My laptop can play BF3 at medium with 30+ fps in multiplayer :)

[QUOTE=Makol;35365422]My laptop can play BF3 at medium with 30+ fps in multiplayer :)[/QUOTE] My 6630m does that surprisingly well. I get Kharg, med mostly, low somethings and high textures at about 30 FPS.

I can't find the post where I posted how a "low budget gaming laptop" is capable of moderate gaming.

I get Kharg, med mostly, low somethings and high textures at about 30 FPS.[/QUOTE] I think the GXT 460M and 6630m are roughly the same in performance in most cases.

And I do like Asus. Only issue is, I'd be bringing this to meetings. With clients. "Laptop that looks like a stealth fighter" doesn't exactly say "you can trust us", business-wise. Oh, and the screen does sound small. It's about what I had before, except in 16:9 instead of 16:10 (used to have 1280x800). Although maybe I've been spoiled by using big desktop displays all day.

And the battery life would be good. Oh, and price... will probably not be an issue, unless they make mobile Xeons or I get a Quadro card or something. Literally every other full-time employee is using a Mac, so their idea of "fair price" is a bit skewed.

But stealth fighters are awesome. And the screen is that small, the photos on Asus's site are kinda sorta bad.

[QUOTE=wingless;35365536]They keyboard is pretty much exactly the same as a Macbook without the backlight.[/QUOTE] Should be good, then. Now about those mobile Xeons...

I just realized I'm going with my mom to a business meeting and she's going to be using my laptop... That should be interesting to see a stealth bomber of a laptop at some corporate meeting thingy :v:

[QUOTE=TonyTheBean;35365748]better hide your porn.[/QUOTE] don't have any

EPIC VLIW's rock the performance world 4) Intel's committed to Itanium 'till 2020, minimum. 5) Don't be forgetting that Itanium is HP's baby, Intel is just like Disney is with Pixar. They stick it in the box and stick their label on it. (Well, Intel fabs it but you get the idea) Oh yay. My 9000th post was dedicated to Itanium.
