i personally recommend going with SAGER laptops, since im also looking for a SAGER powerhouse laptop that can be called a Crysis Destroyer (Model NP9262) with the right modifications.

for the your Conan game, i recommend the Sager NP6790, with the right fixings the pricing can come out to be 1700.

the Nvidia GeForce 8400M G Graphics with 128MB Video Memory is a little weak for a 1300 price tag =/

are there any laptops that have the 8800 card in them for under 1500?

Also another question... what is the order of best to worst with these 3 cards? I see them alot and i don't know which is better.

NVIDIA GeForce 9500M GS

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650

NVIDIA GeForce 8600M "GT"

NVIDIA GeForce 8600M "GS"

I've been looking at this laptop and it seems really slick for it's price

Couldn't you just build a better desktop for much cheaper? That's what I'm doing.Zoso-8

not sure about the 3850 but the 8600gs is a 8600gt cut in half and has clock speeds reduced. 32 shaders vs 16 shaders I think the 9500gs is about the same as 8600gt, avoid the 8600gs unless you don't mind game running on low -med settings

The processor is allright i guess... at least you can easily upgrade. But it is size 17'... are there any laptops with size 15 and an 8800?

I need a laptop because im moving out to college and im selling my beast of a desktop =(

I just came back from best buy to check out the laptop. I like the performance and the price alot... but i didn't think the 17 inch would be that big. I need portability so i'm pretty much sticking to the 15 inchers.

Is the 9500 GS a good card or is it alot worse than the 8800?

One other question.. when are the 9600 cards comming out in laptops? I dont see any on newegg... only the 9500s.
