    Ok i am about to buy a new laptop and I'm wondering which of these 3 laptops would be the best, mainly for gaming, 15" laptops, the first is a

    Cyberpower: 2.33 core duo, 2g ram, and a Geforce GO 7600 256MB Next is a Sager: 2.16 core duo, 2g ram, and a Geoforce Go 7800 GTX 256 Last is a Cyberpower: 2.33 core duo, 2g ram, and a Radeon® X1600 256MB

    Any insight you can give me will be very helpful, I am also wondering if the sager notebook will have a lot worse battery life because of the higher end graphics card.

    One more thing, if anyone knows of a place where I can get a 15" laptop with a core duo 2.16-2.33 processor, 2g of ram and a high end graphics card will you let me know? I know it's a lot to ask but just wondering, I have a 2 grand budget

    The Sager will be fastest at gaming. It may take a bit more power, but it'll be in the ballpark of the other two.
    You should also check out www.powernotebooks.com. I don't know if they carry the Sager, but they're a highly-lauded company around here. It's where I'm getting mine from ;)

    do you have any benchmarks to back that up?, the 7600gt pretty much crushes the 1600 in the desktop arena, I'm not calling you out or anything, just curious

    Its pretty common knowledge in the notebook world that the x1600 has a SMALL lead on the 7600 (thought I'm not entirely sure why). Benchmarks are actually the only place you will see the difference (for the most part).

    Edit: After reading that last post I made I sort of sounded like an ass when I said "Its pretty common knowledge". Haha, I didn't mean for it to sound that way.
