    I need to upgrade my old Vaio Z that i bought for 3-4 years ago and im thinking about buying a new laptop that i also can use for playing PC Games, like Battlefield and call of duty etc. The important thing is that the new laptop should have an ExpressCard since im going to buy an external graphic card like ViDock and connect it to it ( Village Instruments : ViDock )

    Note: i do not like the alienware laptops since they are to huge and hard to carry around with me.

    Hows the new Sony Vaio Z laptops that use the following CPU: Intel®Core(TM)i7-3632QM,2,2GHz ( with 6 MB Smart-cache, Total Qore: 4)? Are there any other manufacture thats using a laptop with better and faster CPU for the moment? Or are there any other manufactures that using with external graphic cards on their laptops?

    Max price for the laptop should be around 3500$

    The Z does not have an expresscard slot. Not sure if any of the newer models has one of those, because who still uses them?
