i cant decidewot gaming laptop to get out of an alienware m17x and a dell xps m1730, wot do u guys think would b best? (and yes it has 2 b a laptop coz ill b on the move a lot, im thinking bout gettin the alienware but for the same sorta price im gettin roughly the same preformance with extras but then the alienware is cool:D).

have u tried it on the hardest difficulty or adjusting the ai los in the editor(if ur making maps) i dont have the game yet, im w8n 2 get a better laptop:) just a thought:)

Yeah, bout that :/ i sorta have 2 get a gaming laptop coz im joining the army so ill be on the move a lot & i want 2 keep gaming lol:) thats the only reason im gettin a laptop:) im gonna get an alienware m17x so i better start saving :D

oh ok:) it costs bout £2000-£2500, it jus depends on what options i choose but thats probably wot im gonna get, might upgrade the HDD

erm.....^^^^didnt really answer my question:/ i can only get single 260, dual 260 or dual 280 coz its a designer thingy on the alienware website. the dual 280 is kinda expensive tho:/ so if i use a res lower than <1920x1080 ill only need a single 260 gpu? btw wots 216sp mean, im crap with computers lol

hey, buying a new laptop & was wondering if this is good enough 2 run arma 2(btw im not very good with computers jus so u know). .
