Well, I guess I can suggest my ideas to you Para, however I must first understand what kind of usage are you going to expect and put your laptop to.

For example, you want it for general office work and gamewise only Quake III Arena or do you want some other high-end games running like Crysis etc.?

Because if you need a laptop that's pure performance then that's going to be pretty costly, taking into consideration the ah, "crysis" we are in. But if you need only email checking and office applications, and gamewise Quake III Arena then a simple laptop is fine. I believe, like any Toshiba Laptops are pretty worth their money.

What do you require from your laptop? For now I understood you want performance, slimy style & Low power consumption, correct?

Asus G73 SW

Dell XPS 17 3D

best ideas for me in 2000$, I just put specification into eBay search engine and there are only 2 interesting laptops ;] this asus and dell, mby some qosmio and alienware's are good aswell but asus have really nice hardware and looks good dell is ok and have 3d screen qosmio i dunno thats toshiba so probably is from japan... u know radioactivity etc so thats not good choice for me ;p and alienware best preformance for bigest price imo battery will works about 20mins with this graphics etc and is big and heavy so thats not laptop just desktop pc for me ;]

ok if still u have problems: buy one of them send it to me, ill test it and mby send it back to you ;]

i had the alienware m9750 gtx, it lasted around 3 years mainly had problems with GPU however, drivers were never great and it got really really hot. It also weighed about 4kg which is far too much for a laptop as portability is decreased with it being so fucking heavy in your backpack when you have other books and equipment XD i would say, if u want to game on a laptop go for something smaller but still powerful, u can find equivalent components for cheaper, with alienware you are paying mostly for the brand name and the nice logo
