I need help in choosing which is the best laptop...

[GameFreakk]

Hi guys! I have two laptops in mind. They are the Asus G74SX and the Battalion 101 X7200. Please tell which is the best laptop as soon as possible. Thank you.

What is you budget?

 

[corkyg]

Best for what purpose? Both are gaming laptops, and not really great travellers. The Battalion 101 is a rebadged Clevo X7200. It is probably a better performer than the Asus, but will generally cost about30% more.

Dell Alienware M18x with crossfire HD7970m GPU's is going to be the best for gaming.

 

[GameFreakk]

i'll keep that in mind. in your opinion which of the 2 laptops mentioned above is better for gaming?

 

[mnewsham]

Well since you didn't specify which G74SX you just posted the general specs page (which lists the POSSIBLE configuration for about 4-6 different models)

I will say the Battalion 101
