i sure you studied a lot via internet...
graphics card as powerful as possible.... and i advice you to go check out the laptop in person, feel the keyboard, screen, built quality, ports placement, ventilation hole positions, overall feeling etc, see which one more suits you.... rather just focusing on specs only... others factors is equally important also and it only can be judged by yourself...

Yeah thanks, well i know little things about the specs..but... what i want to know if for the sifu's experiences...

well i've gone to lowyat several times already,... had to touch everything,,,... the real lappy that caught my attention is the alienware on dell stall at Gfloor.... but reviewing the specs of the other laptops... its kinda like,,,if its not the same...its nearly identical to the other laptops... so? If ill buy alienware...with same specs or nearly thesame specs to other cheaper laptops...it would be like a waste of money right...?

well... what i really like to know is how's these laptops in the long run.... or what is the best in terms of gaming performance...?
What is the most durable one...? Coz i really want to spend money but i dont want to waste it... hope you guys get it... Thanks for the reply and thanks in advance for the upcoming responds... smile.gif

Illegear is a pretty good choice, especially in terms of bang for buck and also customizability. However, if you are looking for international warranty coverage, then its not suitable for you and will not be recommended.

It appears that the gamers' blood flow through your veins lol, so a true gaming notebook is what you seek nod.gif

I would recommend going for this one:
15.6"
MSI GE60-2OE, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GTX765M + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM4299,8GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W8, backlit keyboard

*Use your remaining budget to get a 256GB SSD and you are good to go~
*Comes with 2 years international warranty
*
Yeah, I'm a gamer since i'm a little kid, been through almost all gaming consoles, portable gaming devices, so... Gamer's Blood really flow through my veins...lol tongue.gif

So, MSI GE60-20E then... Well, Thanks for the advice my friend wink.gif i'm gonna check it out for the last time before i will get one though but really, thanks alot wink.gif

And LAST QUESTION? why doesn't anyone here ever recommend an alienware gaming laptop????? just curious...

Good hunting man thumbup.gif

Well, most people do not have the budget to get an AW 17 hmm.gif
As for the AW14, unless if one specifically wants a 14 incher, yet not worried about the weight, then we recommend the AW 14. But most people who wanted a powerful, smaller 14 incher will probably want it to be light weight and slim as well, where the MSI GE40 will be the better choice nod.gif

The previous M14x was such a hit because it was the only 14" gaming notebook that time when released nod.gif
Still, there will always be buyers of Alienwares because its probably most people's (including me) dream notebook  thumbup.gif

well good point hehe... now i understand.... makin' me feel like i still want to go for the AW14 lol!
well, difinitely have to check first the msi but if my blood choose AW? i know i can't resist it..haha! Thanks alot men, wink.gif
