    I looked at replacements for my 5920G and I am surprised I am not seeing anything that would be better then 5920G. Yes, there are processor upgrades, but video cards are the same (mostly 8400GS/GT) Would you recommend any other alternatives for 15 inch laptop?

    Yes Dell XPS M1530 You will get more powerfull video card 8600m GT with DDR3 not DDR2 like in 5920G. The laptop is also slim maybe less hot then 5920G when playing. But I like 5920G it doesn't make me angry every works till now :)

    I looked at it, but it doesn't look like a major upgrade from 5920G. slightly faster graphics car, but still same old 8600 GT.
