Top 5 Gaming Laptops


Are you a gaming enthusiast? Although many gamers used to play the latest 3D games on a desktop, there are gamers using laptops now.

Of course, for a laptop to have computing power matching that of a desktop means that it must have some great components - and a exorbitant price to match.

In this article, let's take a good look at 5 of the best gaming laptops in the market.

Some of these models we'll be looking at are more affordable (e.g. the Toshiba Satellite P105-S9722), while others are extremely expensive (e.g. the Voodoo Envy HW:201).

In any case, make sure you consider what kind of gaming performance you need in the laptop before shelling out any cash. So let's get started with the list ...

Alienware Aurora mALX

The Alienware Aurora mALX is a monster gaming laptop and all about gaming and multimedia. You get a 19-inch screen, the latest Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, dual 7900 GTX cards in a SLI configuration, as well as 4.1 speakers and a PAIR of hard drives (240GB of storage space). After you own this baby, you won't need that gaming desktop anymore :)

Toshiba Satellite P105-S9722

The Toshiba Satellite P105-S9722, compared to some other gaming laptops, lies in the budget range. But that doesn't mean its short on features. You get a 2-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, a Nvidia GeForce Go 7900 GS card, plus a large 200GB hard drive. A nice, reasonably priced gaming machine if you ask me.


Dell XPS M1710

The Dell XPS M1710 is comes in bright cherry-red paint. But beneath that exterior, you will find more than just looks. We have an Intel 2.3-GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM and a 512MB Nvidia GeForce Go 7900 graphics card. One nice feature is the 802.11n wireless card, which puts you one up in terms of the latest networking technology.

 

Alienware Aurora m9700

The Alienware Aurora m9700 is another amazing gaming laptop. The machine comes with a 2.4-GHz AMD Turion 64 Mobile ML44 processor and two 512MB Nvidia GeForce Go 7900 GS graphics cards. This laptop is a laptop you can bring to any friend's gaming party and leave a lasting impression. The m9700 also sports many multimedia features, such as S-video, DVI and 5.1 surround-sound. You will also like the built-in TV tuner which allows you to watch TV shows from your digital-cable service.

Voodoo Envy HW:201

The final gaming laptop in our review is the Voodoo Envy HW:201. This very aptly named laptop weighs in at 16 pounds! But in exchange, you get a 20-inch WSXGA display, an AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core processor, a 320GB hard drive, eight-channel sound, dual Nvidia GeForce Go 7950 GTX graphics cards and a TV tuner! Its just an insane machine and also one of the costliest in this list.

Conclusion

I hope you now have a better idea of which are the best gaming laptops in the market. The above list is by no means exhaustive, there are many other good models out there. Of course, if money was no object, I'd go for the Voodoo Envy HW:201! Ultimately, you would have to make a choice between performance and price. So do your research and use the above list as a guide to find the perfect gaming laptop for your needs.
