Lets say you had a budget of around 2 grand give or take.

What would you get. Gaming laptop. Some longevity would be nice.

I won't buy anything for at least a few months, so if that matters at all, I can re-ask then.

Graphics card is better, more hard drive space, processor is a bit better, and you can also upgrade the Ram to 16 GB and not just 8.

To be honest the one I showed you maybe overkill for what you want to do. Most likely, the one you pointed out will please you just as much. But yes, the ASUS g73 line where you want to go as of now.

I might have to take this dork conversation to PM's.... I feel like I got a reputation to uphold around here....

Just to remind everyone -



I play MMO's. Haven't played one in a while. I was playing LORTO, but haven't in a good bit. I have my eye on Guild Wars II and Rift.

Tried age of conan, but that sucked. which is a shame because Arnold is my hero.

I was kidding about the PMs.

But yes MMO's are my thing. Guild wars II or rift are what i'm looking at.

you gonna pikc up GW2? that could be cool if we both do.

Anyways - it says that the XA1 or whatever, the NVIDEA graphics card one (cheaper one) is the newer model. Unless i'm reading that wrong.
