    I'm looking for a good laptop for gaming which support directx 10 for future games.

    I'm looking for laptops which is less then 17 inches.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    There are some people who missed Aspire 5920 I guess... :D
    Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM and 8600M GT should do.

    Those specs sounds perfect, ecpecially since it 15 inch.

    But I can't seem to find a place which sell the 5920.

    Did the laptop came out?

    Which is the best place to buy it?

    Thanks

    I live in the US. I tried checking up online, the only place I see have it only has it in 1.5ghz, does it go higher then 1.5ghz or is that the highest for the 5920.

    1.5 is the lowest actually- 2.0 is the highest.

    >1.5 is the lowest actually- 2.0 is the highest.

    ......and it has been confirmed that the cpu resides in a zif socket. So you can swap out the 1.5ghz in a matter of minutes. I bought my 1.5ghz at Best Buy because nobody at the time was selling the 2.0ghz here in the USA.

    No regrets... It's a solid notebook.

    I havn't done it yet... Another member replaced his 1.5ghz with a 2.2ghz... You can go up to 2.4ghz (search and you'll find it).

    Actually, i forgot to mention that you can buy the 2.0ghz version online at the Best Buy Busness web site and avoid all of this;

    http://www.bestbuyforbusiness.com/b...etail&showAddButton=true&productID=BB10769634

    The busness model has all of the bells & whistles that the regular Best Buy website 1.5ghz does not have... BlueTooth, Wireless-N, 200GB HD, & 2.0GHZ.
