Top 5 gaming notebooks

Sony VAIO VGN-AR18GP

    BTW the alien ware starts at just about $1000 so you can upgrade it to your $2000 budget

    Asus G71v and Toshiba are the best hardcore gaming laptops out there..

    ASUS has the new G1 out now with the 9500M 512MB Graphics. Configured with VRAM this Intel Core 2 Duo Processor stock with 4GB or RAM will run circles around most if not all gaming laptops. That is after your dis-ingage all the Windows Vista red flags....

    Because the XPS is better :P

    Alienware is way too expensive, you pay a crap load for the brand name. You can get a better spec'd XPS for the same price.

    What about true gaming notebooks like Alienware and Rock? Why were these not tested?
