If you decide on a Dell be sure to get an extra gallon of Prestone anti-freeze to keep in the trunk.

Just curious.....Why a laptop for gaming? You could get a much better gaming desktop for the same price.

Suggestion: Don't buy a laptop for gaming, buy a laptop to do your portable computing.

Desktops are better for gaming. Better displays, better power-consuming hardware, freely/easily upgradeable. Cheaper too, and last longer.

Def want a desktop for gaming purposes. Some of the new games out now will bring a descent laptop to it's knees.

Not for MMORPG you will have to wait like 3-5 years after it is out to even have a thought of a mac install most never put out one

No Mac for gamers it is like buying a boat anchor

Can you just run windows from your Mac and still be able to play the games you want ?
