    Hey, I keep hearing, that there's a sager with 9800 video card for around 1300$. But where did they find it? I don't know much about it, but, on almost every site I visited (looks like sagernotebook.com is the main one) it starts with 1450$.

    I'm looking for 15 inch, with 9800 cad, 4 GB ram and so on. Are there any notebook for this price?

    Look at the 5793. It's a 17" high-performance notebook that starts at $1299 and includes an NVIDIA 9800M GTS 1GB GPU and 4GB of RAM.

    that's why i hate people who recommend the np8660 when there budget is only 1.4k, 1.4 is the base price which means it comes with the least powerful equipment

    We didn't give the MSI a great review:

    Build quality isn't so great.

    The Sager NP5793 is the way to go for a ~$1,300 gaming notebook. See our review here:

    Great machine all around, and you can't go wrong with the current pricing. Sager does appear to be dumping its stock of NP5793s, so I don't know how much longer it will be available.

    Well, as I said I need 15 inch, so NP5793 and that gateway from best buy don't work. Asus g50, yeah, I considered thaose models, but short battery life is not for me. SO, I gues, there's currently nothing that I need.

    I'll have to wait for new Asus N51... But thanks for your input.

    P.S. Yeah, MSI build sucks. Got mine yesterday, have some defects and gonna return it. No more MSI.

    Yup. I want an NP8660. However, I need $1700 for the config I want, and so need to save another $400. The starting price isn't that great when you need a good CPU, 4GB RAM, a copy of Windows, ect.
