I've currently got a dell xps 420 that's really starting to struggle with newer games. BF3 was performing really poorly.
I'm also needing a new laptop so I've decided to get a gamer laptop that should keep me going for a while and save space.
I'm not overly clued up on laptop hardware, or how the graphics on laptops are nowadays, but I imagine if I spend enough I will get something which can handle all the top games for a while at high settings?
I'll probably hook it up to the big lcd downstairs, so hdmi is a must. Also, I have THIS sound system and would like to be able to watch 5.1 dd films through VLC. Currently I get this through the audigy 2 zs in my pc which facilitates this. So the laptop will need proper sound outputs.
I've done limited research on machines but I did a quick alienware search and found this. ** Competitor link removed **Not sure if it's worth it and ideally I'd spend less, but I have the money so could stretch to it if necessary.
Any ideas?
