The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    You kind of posted that before:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=148866&highlight=top+gaming+notebooks

    Plus, you may want to know that most of the information about the weight/battery life is totally wrong, taken from the companies's sites most probably.

    The Asus V1 (Jp/S) is 6.5 lbs with the DVD.

    Area-51 m5550 is 7 lbs. (that should be checked out... not AW's site)

    Sager NP5760 and Sager 5790 are both the Clevo M570RU so...

    Sager NP2090 (Compal IFL90) is 7 lbs (9 cell), if you want to get 3-4h

    Vostro 1500/Inspiron 1520 is 7.4 lbs with the 9 cell battery if you want 3-4h

    .....................etc.

    Oh, why on earth am I writing that?



    Thanks for the efforts anyways. :cool:

    Yeah, that's one of the worst source of information about GPU's performance ever...

    GPU performance depends on many things such as clock speed (vary between manufacturers), amount/type of dedicated memory (DDR2 or GDDR3), memory bus (128 bit or crippled 64 bit...)..etc.

    Plus, if you run a benchmark like 3DMark in lower resolution (as notebookcheck does sometimes) you get higher numbers... so, it should be apples-to-apples-comparison.

    Oh, and synthetic benchmarks are called "synthetic" for a reason, in other words they are useful only to a certain degree... then we have real life gaming performance.

    People can post whatever they want in their reviews, so next time do some research...

    Actually, it's always good to do your "homework" unless you want to get screwed up. :cool:
