I would have plenty of suggestions... but first let us know your budget, size preference, type of gaming, etc.
 
hm.. im lookin for a notebook with at minimum of 512mb ram, 17'' screen, my budget is 2,000, the games ima use it for is world of warcraft and other mmorpg games i also want to use it for computer animation progs.

well you should be looking into the best intel core duo you can get, since your gaming a dedicated vid card would help (a 6800 should be more than enough with mmorpgs), and since your animating i say you're going to need at minimum 2gb of ram. do you have any brands you would prefer to go with?
 
Alienware (rip off, but I wouldn't say these suck, because I've seen them and that are pretty sweet)

http://www.pctorque.com makes some good stuff and the prices (used to be, I dunno about now) are decent.
 
ive been lookin at a couple of alienware but the prices they ask for when customized is outragious! what laptops would b considered to b the best at moment? im really a pc person and im really in need of a laptop so i dont know what notebooks are great! where could i find a notebook with intel core duo with a mobo that has 2g ram minimum at? havnt really looked into 1!
 
I just bought a Toshiba P100 from www.toshibadirect.com

I paid $1800 for it, 1 gig ram, Intel Core Duo T2300, Nvidia Go7600 with 256mb ram, 100Gb 7200rpm hd, DVD rewritable drive, 17" monitor (1680x1050) glossy, a/b/g wireless.

If I had to do it over again I would of purchased the 9 cell 6000mAh battery instead of the standard 4000mAh one and I would of purchased a smaller hd and purchased the 100 gig from Newegg to save money. The keyboard takes a little getting used to but after a week I am doing pretty good. It has a full number pad on the right so the right shift key is smaller than I would like.

Toshiba also has a P105 but at the current time it is not configurable on their site but it does come with a Go7900.

The only game i have played so far is HL2 and it looked awesome, way better than the 19" lcd on my desktop.

Dell also has some good deals if you check out there site, the XPS systems are kinda pricey but you can get the 9400 pretty cheap if you dont need the top end video card.

From what I have seen the notebooks called "gaming notebooks" are very expensive, alienware, sager etc. They do have kick butt components but the pricetag shows it.
 
might want to stay away from the toshiba quasnos (whatever they are called) . they are nice and have a built in tv tuner but are fucking huge
