    Compared to your M170, no notebook is gonna compete. But, the Asus W2v and Z70va notebooks can handle any of today's games very well.

    Asus is better for gamers on the go than gamers who desire the best performance. Asus is not the right brand for your needs.

    The z81sp with the 6800 Go MXM compatiable may be an option...

    but it's a brick.... ;)

    The Z81SP is a great machine, and it is certainly a desktop replacement. The MXM video upgrade ability is a nice feature.

    How about the z71v fully loaded? Is it a good gaming laptop?

    Yes, it'll do very well with the latest games.
