    I got a super portable gaming computer with specs you are looking and it was about 1k at the time (+2 years).

    So you will find something great by now no problem... but best would be to get a 2nd hand or a demo from a store for best pricing.

    GL Biatch!

      Maybe build apc, i7 is overkill for quake 1 , I prefer agp 8x or lga 775

        Also xp pro sp3 is the next best thing after win98 or 2000

              Im flexible on the money.. im just not interested in buying an all out expensive laptop just to play QUAKE and GRAND THEFT AUTO 4.. also 5 is coming out for PC soon... i visited that Xotic site and they seem to be the best priced for laptops.. i would build a new desktop if i was home more often but im looking to take the laptop with me on the road until i find a local gig to get me home daily then my vap on money would be endless for building the grand ole pc i really want.. thanks to all for input and stick to the laptop as this is what im lookin for..

                MSI GX Series GX60 1AC-021US Notebook AMD A-Series A10-4600M&#40;2.30GHz&#41; 15.6&#34; 8GB Memory DDR3 1600 750GB HDD 7200rpm BD-ROM AMD Radeon HD 7970M - Newegg.com <- fast as shit but small screen. current generation gpu performance from AMD

                Best Laptops & Notebooks - Newegg.com <- wow, going nvidia current generation gpu performance is expensive as fok.

                Though, the bigger 17" screen would be nicer for gaming.

                  Quake<-this is the biggest gap in cpu/gpu needed requirements I've ever witnessed->GTA IV

                  lol, just make sure whatever you buy has one of these GPU's http://www.notebookcheck.net/Compari...rds.130.0.html

                        Powerzord "swears by" old hardware.

                        Old Hardware > New Hardware, according PZ....
