| I am buying a laptop soon and I was distinguishing my available options. I have $7000 to spend at my will, but I prefer not to hurl it away. I want to spend it wisely and perhaps save it. But don't lecture me on saving it, the U.S. dollar is losing its value anyway.
I was going to buy a sager 9262 which was basically an intel quad core at like 2.4 ghz with 8800gtx sli. It had a WUXGA 17" screen too. Oh and it had 3 hard drives, with raid 0,5,1. My configuration was with 3, 160 GB, 7200 SATA II hard drives. 480gigs... anyways. All of these components added up to around $4000. So, Idecided that i'm not that much of a hardcore gamer. to buy one. Though I still feel That I will...
Anyways, here are other ideas that I have had to satisfy my laptop needs. Basically gaming, mass media ( 250 vids, 2500 mp3's, 15 pics :p), and versatile online capabilities. I want this thing to have nice intel-wireless n card.
So here are my options:

I want a good gaming system. One that will last a while. The price difference is nearly $1200 between the 5790 and dell. It's $2600 between the dell and sager 9262. I argue with my self that i could buy a vostro1500 and sager NP5790 at the price of a sager 9262. So are the prices reasonable between all these laptops? Are they all equivalent in their price proportions? Which one will be the best deal for now and in the future. Should I buy the cheaper one and be satisfied with its low cost. Or should I buy the sager because of its better graphic and display components? Also, the sager can be upgraded in the future i think when the 8800's become outdated.
Oh and the Dell1730 is coming out now with sli 8800 Gtx dualcards too. I was wondering if anyone could tell the difference between the sager 9262 and the new dell 1730

| I think with your budget you can get the Dell, you can upgrade it easier. In fact if you want something decent for gaming you should go with a desktop, you can get great machine with your budget. And I think with your budget you can consider getting a macbook air or macbook pro , they are powerful. And right now amazon has a sale on the macbook pro , you can have a look there. |
