And Really Thanks Guys For All The Comment & Infomation. Merry Christmas Everyone

Asus. (gaming and performance).

HP/Compaq (reliability)

Sony (Blink Blink, Only high end ones are made in Japan. Quality Questionable)

Acer (Cheap, Depends on your luck - some spoils quickly, some lasts long)

Dell (XPS series for gaming)

Toshiba (Heat Issues)

For gamers, the recommendation is to stay off notebooks. If you are a working adult, I would recommend Asus. If you are a student, please get a gaming PC instead. It’s way cheaper than getting a gaming notebook.

awww guy thanks for the infomation and comment,yea i am a student right now...i need a labtop for gaming and do project in school ect...i not a hardcore
gamer so i think my budget for my labtop is around $2000-$3200 ?

Acer gives good value for $. Asus is slightly more premium

a few things to consider when buying a laptop:

Weight (1.8-3kg?)
LCD Size (12.1" - 15.4")
Processor (Intel Core 2 Duo > AMD Mobile)
RAM (1 - 2GB Min)
Graphics Card
----------------------
As for a gaming laptop, what kind of Games do you intend to play on your future laptop?

MapleStory/ Warcraft III - Intel GMA good enough

Granado Espada/ Hellgate London/ C & C 3 - At least a nVidia 7600 or aTi X1600

Anything higher - Try nVidaia GeForce 8800GT for laptops...but they will burn you, not just in the wallet, but energy consumption and heat dissipation.

Asus -> best
LG -> very good screen quality

Asus = Reliable but overheat

Acer = Cheap but as what u said. Some laptop lucky some not

HP/Compaq = Soso. Price also Soso

Sony = Expensive and not very good specs

Apple MacBook = VERY expensive and not very good specs. Not very high quality either. You are just paying for Mac OS X

Dell = Big Heat Issues Problems

Toshiba = Heat Issue

REMEMBER,If you buy your laptop from Courts,You can apply their 3 year excidental damage warrenty. Check it out:

Best of luck on your next laptop.

don’t use a notebook to play mmorpg, sooner or later either your gfa card going to give way…...

Buying Sony is all about the Brand Name. You pay $1000 for the Sony name.

A GeForce 8400M is far lousier than GeForce 7600M...

Can one. Tune your graphics card and game quality down and add RAM to the comp.

HP/Compaq is not the same thing. Under same company doesn't mean they are the same. HP laptops can be very expensive for average specs and are targetted towards another group of people.

There are also average priced laptops with a little than better specs, geared towards yet another group of people.

Compaq is geared towards yet another group of consumers.

And Courts is not recommended here except for newbies who basically know nothing. Go to Courts = tio tok

Same for Harvey Norman.

There's no big heat issues with Dell as far as I'm aware of. Other than the exploding batteries which was quite long ago...

Apple is simply not for gaming. For work, yes. Comparing Apple with Windows is like comparing apple and pear. Both are fruits, yes. But inside, everything is different.

thanks for all the comment and infomation,still so confuse on which brand should i get lols >.< :

Alienware?

it is high end of dell

If you find the price of Asus is too high, get an Acer or Dell.

dell laptop overheating it depends also.. my gf laptop which is a 2 yr old dell latitude D630,did not overheat even after hours of usage.. u can hardly feel the heat.. only a bit warm only.. as compared to my compaq one, which is quite warm..

why no one mention our china brand laptop, IBM known as Lenovo...

Just nv ever buy that stupid brand. My own prefer laptop would be fujitsu S series. mostly made in japan. cant stand items make in china liao. even make in malaysia i also happy.
