I can't believe I am asking this...
I am a desktop guy. Laptops have always been a secondary consideration to my triple monitor SLI goodness in my office. BUT, I took an awesome job that is 90%+ international travel. The laptop that is provided is okay for basic games with its intel i7 and nVIdia Quadro 1000M graphics. It is a workstation... I didn't expect much.
As it turns out, I love the job... so far I have lived in Brazil, Sweden, Japan, and China. The future will have me going to China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Finland, Australia, New Zealand... you name it. This is an Electrical Engineer's dream job!
But I miss my games. I need my Battlefield 3!!!
So... I need a badass gaming laptop. Something with an nVidia 680M, i7, a 17"+ screen... you get the idea. So I saw the Alienware. It looks nice, but it has many things that I don't need and costs about $3500 for something close to what I want. What other companies have the 680M available already?
