What laptop is the best for playing crossfire?
Comments

every laptop with a dedicated graphics adapter should be able to run cf smooth.
so no stress just for crossfire, wanna play other games too?
just check google for "gamer notebooks".
alienware notebooks seem not to be the worst, but $$$.
and you can be sure.....when you decided this....next day there is a faster/cheaper/better one on the market.

Not necessarily true about the graphics part.
OP: How much are you willing to spend?
Price is almost everything. -

I was going to say tho that Asus has good cards and they have some gaming laptops out there, there was one i saw with a radeon 5870 but it was $1700.
This.
Gaming laptops really don't exist, it isn't what they were made for and you aren't ever going to get the best bang for the buck.
That being said, I needed a laptop for school and I needed a new computer for gaming... so I got a gaming laptop.
It is beast, but it was expensive.
It also happens to be the one that Eradicate is talking about:
ASUS G73JH

If you need a laptop just to walk around with, don't go for a 'gaming' laptop. Just buy a separate laptop and a desktop, they will cost about the same if you can build the desktop on your own.
If you need a high spec laptop for a course, aswell as a new gaming machine, then you are going to have to pay for it...
Also, the G73jh has gone down about 600 bucks since I first looked at it. And that is 1400 Canadian dollars, just btw.
Edit:
Don't think I mentioned this; If you need BOTH a laptop (for school or work) AND a new gaming machine, you will have to pay more than 700 bucks. You could build a nice gaming machine (just the box itself) for about 600 and any decent laptop (not recommended/usable for gaming) for around 400-600. -

Ahhh, that too. Although, with todays prices and technology its almost easier and more cost effective to just build a brand new computer anyway. -

Ya know, mine used to overheat to the point that it'd turn off mod-game, and I used to have to manually fan it, but for some reason, it's completely stopped now
doesn't heat one bit. -
you can get beter laptops for less $.
Alienware you pay for the brand.
yip yip
like nike (<3) you can buy similar shoes by a no brand but if you buy the same shoes with a nike tick on it that adds $$$
And if you're thinking of getting a laptop i would actually get a computer then you would have spare $$$ too
it's also easier to fix/repair/replace on computers than laptops, and if you get a laptop now it will be really out dated in a year or so and you will want a new one
