The graphics processing unit is a component that is very important for your gaming experience. A gaming laptop video card must have its own memory on board to ensure a high performance and a fast run of the most complex games. Generally speaking, nowadays there are two developers of laptop video cards like nVIDIA and ATI. You will definitely need to choose a screen for your new gaming laptop, but this will come with many decisions about the resolution, aspect ratio, rise and fall time, contrast, viewing angle, and size. The LCD screen need to at least 15 inches, although the most favorite are the 17 inch widescreens. There are also large models and the best way to decide is to compare the contrast and the sizes in a store because in this way you can make the differences among them. As for the RAM of a gaming laptop you need at least 1GB of RAM for optimum run. There are people choosing 2GB to ensure that they can run multiple applications that will not slow down the response time of the games. This is a great investment and you need to not try saving money on the RAM if you want to use this gaming laptop for some time in the future. The last component you should consider is the hard drive which comes in a variety of speeds and capacities ranging from 4200 to 7200 RPMs and 40 to over 100 GBs.

Now let’s see what make the HP HDX16t one of the best HP laptop gaming now available on the market. It is a 16-inch laptop that has a Intel Core 2 Duo processor and a nVidia graphics card and is included in the HP “premium series” notebook. Some of the other specifications are:

- 4GB DDR2 System Memory
- 320GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
- Webcam and Fingerprint Reader
- Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N Mini-card
- Blu-Ray ROM and SuperMulti DVD+/-R/RW Double Layer
- 12-Cell Lithium Ion Battery

Despite the crisis that has gripped the world economy, the Taiwanese PC vendor has continued to focus on innovation of its products, and giving concrete shape to its slogan, “Insist on the best”. To confirm this is the president of MSI, Joseph Hsu, framed by new series gamestation GE, GX and GT exhibited at CeBIT 2010.

Marrying two modes to be incompatible, that is the bet of the Alienware m11x. Fans of the brand will not change that, the design is reminiscent of m11X already present on other models. The keyboard also incorporates the ingenious system which backlight color can be customized according to the desires of the user.
The keyboard layout requires a slight adjustment period before returning to a striking fluid. The slightly shiny surface does not stick but makes visible fingerprints. The multitouch touchpad is well sized.
This version is very well made, blacks are deep and vivid colors. The treatment does not generate too bright reflections. As for viewing angles, they are quite open.

By using the integrated graphics and setting the backlight to minimum, autonomy may exceed seven hours. Small regret, technology Nvidia Optimus is not present. This laptop is perfect for games like Call of Duty 4 The Modern Warfare 2, or for Mass Effect 2. If you are a gamer you should buy this laptop for yourself.

The connector is provided and positioned pretty well apart from the USB right side, placed too far forward. The Ethernet it would have its place in the back. The audio portion is correct, nothing more. The keyboard is the biggest weakness of this notebook. It flexes a lot even at low pressure and the arrangement of keys (including Ctrl and Fn) is not conventional, while others are really reduced their width.

The touchpad is improved with a surface that glides well and good accuracy. It would however be gained by deeper and less deported on the left. Its buttons are functional but picks up dirt well enters. The screen displays a 16/10 format which is rare. The contrast is excellent and good black level but the brightness is average. The colors seem fairly blades and lack punch. The touchscreen is prone to glare and viewing angles are correct.

When practicing the games, it displays a score 31.3 fps in Anno 1404 in native resolution (high detail, 0xAF) of 52.5 fps in Left 4 Dead (high detail), from 23.7 fps in Risen (medium details, 0xAF) 29.3 fps in DIRT 2 (high detail) and from 23.7 fps in Risen (medium details, 0xAA) and from 21.9 to 24.9 fps in Crysis at 1024 × 768 (high detail) and 38.8 fps in Need for Speed Shift (details means 2xAA).

Other equipment (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, webcam, etc..) Suddenly become some widgets. Alienware m17x’s weight starts at 5.3 kg and the configuration presented here for me to reach 6 kg aprobleme far. Mobility? 9 cell battery? What difference does it make when you have a monster that can run any new game? For this configuration, the price is 3370 euros. Oops!

It would be foolish to put more than the 4 GB of RAM, as much as you installed, but you can add yet another on that. Hard disk. Two pieces of each 320 GB. The less pleasant when it comes to optical drive. You have the option of a Blu-ray drive, pretty good at what may be the Qosmio X300-14U. Perhaps the producer was not thinking about this business because of the screen that leads only 1.680 x 1.050 pixels. I sense you put the issue of connectivity. Qosmio X300-14U has everything you could ask for in a computer or even more. Mobility is limited to a maximum of one hour and 50 minutes, but I do not expect more from a system full of resources, with minimum weight of 4.3 kilograms. The system cost about 3200 euros in the configuration above.

These kind of computer games require very high performance and specifications in order to play them. Most of us like to play computer games because some of us find them relaxing but for some are a competition that they must finish on the first place. For some of us, computer games mean nothing because they do not like them. They just are pleased with a simple laptop or computer to do their simple activities like listening to music, or watching a movie. When we are looking to buy the best gaming laptop, you must pay attention at some of its specifications because they are very important and essential for a game to work properly.

If you plan to buy a laptop exclusively for gaming you have to take into consideration the following facts. Due to the fast pace evolution of games, you have to put the 3D performance of your video card on top of everything else. To enhance your gaming experience you will also need a god speaker system and a big, wide LCD display. Also, be sure to equip a large memory and a fast and reliable processor. First of all you should check the system requirements of the games you would like to play and buy a system that is at least 1/3 times better that the ones mentioned in the recommendations. This isn’t a scientifically proved method but the extra performance that you’ve opted for will count in 1 or 2 years.

Another important aspect that most neglect is the RAM memory. You have to look for something over 3GB DDR3 ( 1066MhZ or 1333MhZ ). Something like 6GB at 1333MhZ will be just fine. Note that 6GB of RAM can be quite expensive. You will also need a high-resolution display of 18 or 21 inch, LCD of course. When it comes to the hard drive, you should definitely go for big. Bear in mind that today’s games often exceed 10GB so your hard drive should be as spacious as your wallet can afford.

Of course there are many more gaming laptops , you just have to know what you want, the rest just comes from itself. I hope you will make the right choice, and don’t forget to have fun, this is the most important aspect of all.

So, the first very important aspect that a gaming laptop computer should have it is the Graphics. All gamers are obsessed to have the best, the latest and the fastest Graphics. Graphics or the quality of the graphics chipset in your laptop computer should be your first area of consideration because it definitely will determine the gaming performance of your laptop computer. Now, I will give you some examples of Graphics Chipsets that are highly rated on specialized websites.

The first is ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 which is a high quality Graphics Card being present in almost all next generation laptop computers. It gives to your laptop computer higher performance at a low power level, meaning that it will save battery power. Other good Graphics chipset are Nvidia GeForce Go 7800 GTX and ATI`s Mobility FireGL V3200. These three graphics make you laptop computer capable of 3D games, wide-screen HDTV, presentations made in a dynamic way, mobile video editing studio and graphic processors. The display quality is also very important in order to achieve a good gaming experience.

The laptop computer uses RAM (random-access memory) in order to run applications and data on your laptop computer operating system. Generally, you need at least 256 MB for Windows XP and Mac OS X operating systems. Concerning other operating systems in Windows or Mac, you will ness only 128 MB. If you want to handle important graphic files or want to play on your laptop computer the RAM and the amount of RAM that your laptop computer has is very important indeed.

SPEED…one of the most important aspect that a laptop computer should feature when buying it for gaming activities. When you want to enjoy the maximum performance of your gaming laptop computer, you must get the fastest speed you can afford. PLEASE, retain the fact that a 7200 rpm Hard Drive is 33% faster than 4200 rpm drives. CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the processor of your laptop computer and it is also the brain which is doing all your laptop computer`s data processing and applications.

The laptops are becoming more and more popular these days, and in the future there will definitely be more laptops than desktop computers. The greatest advantage of a laptop is its portability, but of course it has other advantages too. So today we are going to discuss about a model of Dell notebook computer. Dell is offering 6 different “families” of laptops and these are: Inspiron laptops, Studio laptops, Mini Netbooks, Studio XPS laptops, Alienware laptops and also Adamo laptops.

The Alienware subsidiary is specialized in producing just computers and laptops with high end features, that are great for playing advanced video games. So for today we’ll discuss more about one of the best HD gaming laptop, the Alienware M 15X laptop. This is a really powerful one, but also an expensive device, with a price of 1200 dollars. It has a 15.6 inch diagonal widescreen display, allowing you to enjoy the High Definition  1080 p resolution, that gives every detail the attention it needs for video games and movies. And if the display screen of 15.6 inch is not big enough for you, then you can connect this laptop to a High Definition TV, thanks to its HDMI port. So you can enjoy the video games at a really good quality, and also the movies at their best quality, thanks to the Blu-ray support.

This model has a cool and interesting design, that will really make you think of some alien technology. You can choose it in of the three available colors, which are: Nebula Red, Cosmic Black or Lunar Shadow. And now here are the technical details for this cool laptop:

-         Processor – Intel ® Core ™  I 3 – 330 M 2.13 GHz (3 M cache)

-         Operating system – Genuine Windows ® 7 Home Premium, 64 bit, English

-         Display screen – 15.6 inch Wide HD + 1600 x 900 (900 p) WLED

-         Optical drive – Slot Load Dual Layer DVD Burner (DVD + / – RW, CD-RW)

-         RAM memory – 3 GB DDR 3 at 1066 MHz

-         Hard drive – 250 GB SATA II  hard drive at 7,200 RPM

-         Graphics engine – 512 MB NVIDIA ® GeForce ® GT 240 M

-         Sound – Internal High Definition 5.1 Surround Sound Audio

-         Connectivity – Wireless 1520 802.11 n Half Mini Card

-         Battery – Primary – 6 cell (56 Watt) Lithium Ion Battery

So as you can see, the features that you get for this price are really good. The processor is among the new versions made by Intel, and it is a good one that will easily handle most of the computer activities, including advanced video games. The RAM memory may have been a little better for this price, but you can upgrade it separately. The hard drive offers you plenty of space to store many video games and movies, and the graphics engine is really good too, allowing you to play the best video games at the best quality. But of course you can use it for other activities too, not just for video games…so you can browse the internet thanks to its wireless connectivity.

So now you know one of the best HD gaming laptop on the market, but of course there are some other models too. If you know some of them, then tell us more about them. Also if you already own the Alienware M 15X, we invite you to tell us more about it…what video games did you play on it? Are you happy with the video quality and other performances?

Some are recommended just for simple activities such as browsing the internet, while others are really powerful and can be used for video games, video editing and stuff like that. It is known that the best gaming laptops are those made by Alienware, but there are also many other laptops made by other companies that can be used for playing video games too.

And a good example would be the Asus G 50 vt – X1. Among the good things of this model there is the nice design, the good performance and also the good connectivity. And among the negative aspects there are the display screen that needs some improvement, the fact that there are no upgrade options and no other extras that are usually found on the Asus laptops. The design is quite interesting, recommended for gamers, and it has some futuristic tribal paint scheme on the lid, so they will immediately grab the attention. Since we are talking about the exterior of this laptop, you should know that it has a 15.6 ” widescreen display with a resolution of 1368×768. Its weight is quite big for this size of the screen – 7.3 lbs, and its overall dimensions are 1.6 x 14.8 x 10.4 inches. So it is not such a portable laptop being quite heavy, and that’s why it would be best to use it as a desktop replacement, and not a laptop that you often travel with. But after all it is still a laptop, so whenever you really need to take it with you, you can do this.

Its processor is a 2.26 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo, which is quite a nice one, and combined with the RAM memory of 4 GB will allow you to easily play any video game. You can also store a lot of big and complex video games thanks to the big capacity of the hard drive of 320 GB. This is an older model (probably from 2008) so the features it has may not look really powerful these days, but at its time they were among the best ones. And this is because today you can find newer models of processors (Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5 and Intel Core i7, and also bigger hard drives of 500 GB and even 640 GB). This model is probably not produced anymore, being replaced by others, but you can probably find as an used or refurbished product, and it can still be a good choice, at a small price.

When it was produced it came with an installed version of the Windows Vista Home Ultimate (64 bit), but if you buy it these days you can easily use it with the Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64 bit operating system. Its graphics card is a really good one, a NVidia 9800 M Gs, so it can definitely support complex video games. But the battery life is not such a good one, and it can last for just up to 1 – 1.5 hours. So again, it is not recommended for traveling, but you can easily use it at home, plugged in an outlet. Its keyboard feels good and has a nice tactile response, and it is a full size keyboard with numeric keys too. Some people are saying that the numeric keys are just too close to the rest of the keys, and the overall keyboard is quite small, so you should test this in the store before buying it. The touchpad device is a Synaptics one, and it works really well. It works good for the simple computing activities, but it is not so recommended for playing a FPS game or a driving game.

For video games it is always much easy to use a laptop mouse. Even though it is not really portable and doesn’t have such a good battery life, it still has both wireless and Ethernet connectivity for easy access to the internet. And it also comes with a HDMI port, which means that you can connect it to a High Definition TV for watching movies and playing video games. But unfortunately the optical drive doesn’t have Blu-ray support, so you can’t enjoy the best quality possible for movies (unless you download them in Blu-ray format directly from the internet). It also has most of the ports you might need, including USB ports, a VGA port, HDMI, audio ports, a lock slot and a media card reader.

So after all it is a good laptop, good at moderate gaming, entertainment and has a nice design too. In terms of rating, it has an overall one of 3.7 out of 5. The editors at laptoplogic.com gave it 4 stars out of 5 for design, 4 for features, 2 for the battery life, 4 for performance and 2 for mobility. But after all it is more of a desktop replacement laptop, rather than a really portable one, so the facts that it is not mobile and doesn’t have such a good battery life, are not so important. It is really recommended for gamers, students, it can be a good choice for entertainment…but not such a good one for business men and travelers. In case you too had used this Asus G50 – X1 laptop, we invite you to tell us your opinions about it.
