Mobile Gaming






Bored using desktop ? Why dont try a mobile one ? Notebook is the best for mobile gaming right now. And forget about netbook for gaming, most of them only have GPU power just to do office work and browsing. But there is a downside using notebook for gaming, it is very expensive. Its only have about a third to half performance in the same price of desktop PC. So we say we have notebook at $1000, it only have performance of $400 to $500 desktop PC. But you have good time in your travel time.

Like we all know, there are only three big company that design GPU. Intel, NVIDIA and AMD. But forget about intel, its design only have power to do simple games. I can only recomending NVIDIA or AMD GPU for gaming in notebook, and desktop PC too. So with the high price if notebook, I can only divide into three level. Sub $1000, $1000 to $1500 and $1500+.

Let start with sub $1000 notebook. Like always, I just show my best option in my opinion. But still there are much expert out there, feel free to ask them too. Sadly I only found one notebook that really good. It has i7 processor and an HD 5730 from AMD.

The next level is $1000-$1500 notebook. Its the best range since there are many good notebook in there. Hope you like my best recomended is the G73JH-X1 from ASUS. It has an i7 with HD 5870 from AMD and an Insane 8GB memory. While the second one with NVDIA GPU is TOSHIBA X505-Q984. It has an i7 core, 4GB of RAM, GTX 460M GPU and a big 18.4inch of screen.

Lastly is a $1500+ level. With label "$1500" doesnt mean a $4000 is best as gaming notebook. Its just a waste of money, there are ton and extremly high performance but has almost half the price. I got one winner here, it is from DELL with Alienware flavour M17x10-1847DSB. It has an i7 core with 6GB of memory and dual-GPU of AMD HD5870. Yess it has dual-GPU of HD 5870, not much desktop can beat this monster.

Looks like the winner mostly from AMD. Well what should I do, what I choose is the best product right now. NVIDIA is in developing a 5xx series of GTX right now. There some rumors it will out at end of the year, maybe for christmas. Just wait a little longer if you want to see some NVIDIA strike back.
