Well, the year 2008 has certainly seen its fair share of good
gaming laptops appear in the market.
In this article we will look at
some of the best gaming laptops from 2008 - see if you agree with my
choices. If so, why not go out and get yourself one of those? I'm sure
you'll have a whale of a time gaming until the wee hours of the morning!
1. Overview
If you're like me, you might love playing 3D games. I've only recently switched to playing 3D games on laptops and I must say that it's a blast. You can play the games anywhere without being bound to the desktop. The problem is that laptops traditionally don't have good 3D gaming hardware support (this is still a very new market) - so I really hard to hunt high and low to identify some laptops that fit the bill. The laptops below are the ones I found from the year 2008 that really befit the title of "gaming laptop".
1. Alienware Area-51 m15x
The very first laptop in my list has got to be the
Alienware Area-51 m15x. The m15x is simply the BEST gaming laptop you can get in the market. We're talking about top-of-the-line components like an Intel Core 2 Extreme X9000 processor, Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX graphics and a nice, sharp, 15.5 inch screen. The downside? It's certainly one of the most expensive laptops you'll ever buy.

2. Gateway P-6831FX
The Gateway P-6831FX is also another entry in my "Best Gaming Laptop in 2008" awards. The price of this gaming laptop is much more reasonable compared to the m15x, and it costs just $1300. The P-6831FX is similar but a bit more powerful than the P-171XL FX Edition (an older version). You get all the computing and graphics horsepower you need to play 3D games at very fast speeds.

3. Vigor Artorius Pro
Many of you might not have heard of the Vigor Artorius Pro. I found this laptop brand through a friend of mine and I can say it is certainly worthy of being one of the best gaming laptops in 2008. The system is based on Santa Rosa and includes Intel's new Turbo Memory, as well as DirectX 10 gaming. It's price is not as unearthly as Alienware's so it is definitely an affordable package that gives very decent gaming performance.

Conclusion
And that's it! I hope this article has given you some good insight into the best gaming laptops of 2008. To be honest, it is not easy to find
good gaming laptops out there - as I mentioned before, this is still a very new market. But if you're serious about getting a gaming laptop, the above models should certainly be on your shopping list. So until next time, good luck and happy shopping!
