Looking for new and good gaming laptop (Vaio VPCF1190X / HP dv6t Quad Core / HP Envy 15 )?

donkeyrinser got it right. Laptops are not that bad for gaming, but the thing you have to be worried about, is overheating. Nothing puts as much stress and pushes your system harder than gaming. So make sure you use a laptop cooling pad. Especially one that inclines so it will be easier on your neck and wrists. As for which laptop to buy, the HPs have better graphics card (1GB) compared to the SONY (512MB), but spend the extra $150 to customize it to 1GB. Now also keep in mind that HP laptops are not very good quality computers. They offer "okay" computers at cheaper prices. Personnaly, out of these 3, I would choose the SONY with the quad core i-7720QM ( it isn;t worth the extra $300 for a similar quad-core just a little more speed. The cheaper one will work just fine), Home premium (has all you need for gaming purposes), 6GB of RAM, blu-ray, the 1GB NVIDIA with the GT 330M, and the hard drive us up to you. ( If you plan to do alot of gaming you will want a large drive to store all the files. The 500GB should be more than enough. Also, which ever one yo choose, get a 7200rpm one. Its faster than a 5400 rpm.) Now I'm a serious gamer, and I buy serious gaming equipment for thousands of dollars. But thats beside the point. Shell out the $1500 and you'll be enjoying this gaming laptop for years. Hope I helped! ;-)
