    I've decided to take the move from desktop gaming to laptop gaming becuase i've been attending more and more lan parties lately, i've looked around for some laptops in my area and came across a few that peeked my intrest but video cards in laptops confuse me.

    My question is what one of thease computers is the best to get based upon price/how long its going to last me?

    Thank you in advance for all the help, if you know any other recomendations for laptops please suggest ^.^

    AFAIK 5870 benches higher than 460M.

    I also agree with Reizo on the order of choice.

    I would take the G73W. The improved touchpad buttons are worth it.
