Best Gaming Laptop for less than $1500?

[ArmyofKirb]

I've been doing some research, and I have narrowed it down to two candidates:

the Acer Aspire AS8930-6247
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4148886&csid=ITD&body=MAIN#detailspecs
and the Asus G50V
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220379

The Acer has a significantly bigger display (18.4"), a blu ray drive, and a Geforce 9600. The Asus has a 9700, and a 15.4" inch screen. What do you guys think? Do you have any other suggestions for a gaming rig under $1500? I appreciate it.

I vote for the ASUS G50V

Neither. I'd pick this instead.

Wow DDR3? 9800?

1,300 USD?

Nice pick Rage.

Sorry, I meant to link to the tiger direct page for the acer. So you guys think I should go for the Gateway, then?

 

[Rage_3K_Moiz]

Absolutely. There's nothing better available AFAIK for the same price.

To agree with Rage once agian, for your price range, that is the best gaming laptop I have seen. If I had the money laying around I would snatch one up.
