Well, I wanna change my laptop but am not too sure which one I wanna get. After going through a lot, I've come down to either, Alienware M17 or Toshiba X305-Q725. At ths point am mainly going for graphics card performance, the Alienware uses HD 3780X2, while the X305 uses a single 9800m gtx, I just wanna know which one's better pls, any help would be appreciated, thanx:)

Alienware hands down, the m17 can have the intel core 2 quad extreme, dual 3870's in crossfire, and uses DDR3 ram. I would STRONGLY recommend buying alienware.

No way, do not get alienware, they are incredibly expensive. The toshiba is a much better deal and the 9800 gtx is probably better.

yes they are expensive, but one 9800GTX dosent compare to two 3870's in Crossfire, Plus the Alienware has the only Quad core extreme for laptops, plus the fact that you can get two solid stateHard drives in Raid 0 the toshiba only offers one hard drive at 7200 rpm , and the fact that the M17uses 4 GB DDR3 ram @ 1066 mhzit will be much faster than almost anylaptop. on top of all of that you can get a Blu-ray burner.and it still has a QUAD CORE in a laptop!!!if you have the cash go for it you wont regret it

Neither. You can find something with the specs of an alienware for less.

dont buy from neither go to powernotebooks.com

and ull get deals on laptops with 260m gtx, or 280m gtx starting 1400 bucks, A lot more reasonable than alienware or toshiba.

The con is that the laptops are not the best looking, but they look ok
