gaming laptop

Looking at buying a laptop for gaming when away from home. I had narrowed it down to either the Alienware m18x or Vortex 3 elite but now the Omega Supreme has been released from the same company that looks better than the elite but is chunkier as it uses a desktop cpu. What are your thoughts on using desktop processors in laptops?

The MSI ones look awesome.

Yeah had a look at them, I'm looking for a dual 7970 laptop though. That's what drew me to the Alienware, Vortex Elite and Omega Supreme.

Still can't decide between the 3 though. The size of the Omega puts me off slightly but I do like the styling of it as well as the Alienware which when spending so much is important to me.

I'd probably go with the Vortex Elite due to the fact that it isnt over 2 grand.

I got a W370ET (Optimus IV) and I'd personally recommend the Vortex. You just can't beat the price/performance from that particular vendor.

The price/performance is fantastic. I've decided on the vortex with the 3740qm and twin 7970m's
