Solved! Alienware m17x vs Asus G73

[gkroska]

Im looking to get a mid-high end laptop and I cant decide between the Alienware m17x or the Asus G73. I was wondering if you guys could give me your opinion. I want to play all the latest games with them and price is not an issue. I just want the best machine that will give me a great gaming experience.

Here's the ones I was looking at:

tell me what you think!

And that would keep me playing all the newest stuff for awhile?

 

[Maziar]

M17x is a better choice because 2 5870Ms perform significantly better than
1 GTX 460M

 

[gkroska]

So the alienware is going to take me further than the asus? but isnt the M17 an older system then the G73?

 

[Maziar]

M17x maybe older but it has a much more powerful graphic power,so it will last more for gaming.

 

[gkroska]

so does the model that amazon is coming actually come with two 5870s or just the ability to add another one in?
and how does this one compare?

thanks for helping me out on this!

It says "CrossFireX 1GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 Graphics" so it must have 2 5870s. If you have any doubts,ask Amazon to be sure.
Like i mentioned,G73 is a great laptop but 1 GTX 460M is significantly slower than 2 5870Ms in gaming.
