Best Gaming Laptop for $700

Plain and simple, what is the best gaming laptop for $700?

-Regardless of brand and size

My cousin has $700 to spend and told me to find out for him...
So thanks for all your help

 

$299 more dollars gets you a Dell XPS laptop with two 9800M GT's in SLI. HERE.

 

allll he beat me to it im telling every body

you have till may 20th to get the extra 299

its regular 1700

 

ROFL! Yeah, I saw you post it in the other thread, and I was like, damn(!) that's a sweet azz deal!

 

Would you trade for an inspiron 1720 with broke headphone and mike port and a missing clip to close the screen?

 

He should spend a tiny bit more at BestBuy for the G50vt

 

$200 is not a tiny bit more.

For $700 (after rebate) you get the MSI EX625 on Newegg. Can't beat that until you get up to that $900 G50vt.

 

if you go up to 900 why not 99 more n get dual 9800m gt ?

 

isn't the gateway fxs refurbished with an nvidia 9800 only 750?

 

689 i thought

 

Here's a decent gaming laptop for you

i think that's a pretty reasonable price.. =/

 

wow, wall of text there,
most of that dell stuff is just crapware they install on the system.

If youre looking for a good system on a budget, may I suggest a used Dell XPS 1710, Gateway 6860-FX, gateway 7811-FX, Asus G50
