Why would a college student spend 2500 dollars on a gaming laptop? Gaming laptop is an oxymoron and 2500 is a huge amount of cash if you have no income and only expenses. And then you also want a high end one. Don't.

You are probably cheaper off buying both a cheap laptop for word processing and a cheap gaming PC. And you shouldn't need both anyway.

You want to game during classes? Pay 2500 to ruin your own education. Trick your parents? Do something sensible.

Gaming during classes, HERE I COME!

What is the world coming to. Glacus nailed it. If you don't take your school seriously, maybe you should get a job and go to college later in life? This way you're cheating yourself out of an education - not to mention wasting the teachers time.

If I were getting one today, I'd probably go with one of the new Asus laptops, but just throwing it out there, my Gateway has performed like a champ so far. Coming up on 2 years now and the only issue has been the F8 key came off. As long as I remember to use compressed air on it every 6 months or so, heating is a non-issue.

I'd choose a gaming laptop over 2500 on pot any day.

It's not an oxymoron. You thinking you're so rad because you have such a high end desktop, well newsflash, you're living in the stone age.

Buying a gaming laptop is like buying a 'sporty' minivan.

Except the minivan costs 3 times what a Porsche would.

Its very possible to game on laptops, just not as cheap as on desktops

and yeah sager (on clevo platform) is a very solid choice, i have a sager np2096 (compal) and its been running like a champ for 1.5 years and i love it. sound card probably not worth it for 100$. and i got mine from xoticpc.com too, definitely my #1 place to look for laptops
how reasonable is it to eat off wood instead of your tummy?

Of course most of my posts are exaggerations, no need to get butt hurt about a stranger's life. I am serious about my education for the most part, and I am most likely going to a decent college when results come out in March. Thanks for all suggestions guys!
