Define "affordable" -- what's your budget?

Maybe at most around 2 thousand.

Why a laptop..you could get a very powerful desktop for a fraction of the cost

Ive got to stay mobile at the same time friend, but I still love to game.

You have a huge budget...so money doesn't seem to be a problem..I've heard good things about alienware..check them out

Alienware is pretty pricey, but they are pretty laptops... I heard I can get more from Asus but they arent as customizable. Buying an ASUS was confusing me already

If you want to go all the way...get the mx17..it's 1,799..that's within your budget

alienware? they may be good, but they arre dell and theefore massivley overpriced

alienware is one of the most overpriced but all brands will rip you off when it comes to a prebuilt gaming PC. Look at all of the other brands, especially for desktops where you can more easily compare pricing.

Find a gaming PC then using parts from a site like newegg or any other site that you like, put together a system with the same specs, you will often see that if you were to build the system your self, it will be $500-$800 cheaper.

compared to dell, asus will not rip you off as much but you will still be getting ripped off.

When a item is placed into a high price, they assume deep pockets, just like how if you were to go to a restaurant where only extremely rick people are known to go, you will get charges about $20 for a glass of water.

If you want a gaming laptop, then accept that you will be getting ripped off no matter which choice you make so just go with what ever has the highest specs for under $2000

The best gaming laptop company that I have seen is Asus with the Repulican Gamers series that they have. The price for the laptop is a little one thousand dollars. As for find the one that is best for you, no one can really answer that for. The reason that I say that is some people like myself may say one thing and you find something else. The best thing for you to do is to take all the information you get from the site and do your homework on witch one might the best choice for you, both price and hardware wise. If you still can not decide then go to a local computer store or bestbuy store in your areah and they will be able to give you better ideahs based off what you are wanting to do with the laptop.

Problem is with me and ASUS is that I cant tell which ones are the newer models. The names confuse me. I know the gaming ones begin with G. There's 3D ones and high performance ones. I just cant tell the latest models.

I would say a MacBook Pro because you can run windows 7 and it has an amazing graphics card. I have a $2000 macbook pro and it was the best thing i have ever bought. Also you can buy an incase hard shell blue case.

Interesting... A Fragbox... But I was looking for a more mobile computer. Not saying this is not mobile. Its the size of a shoe box apparently. But I dont want to carry a screen around... Unless theres a screen I am not seeing.
