6. Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q708



This gaming laptop has a lot going for it. The 17" (1680x1050) display packs a nice resolution, if not the nicest. More importantly, it comes packing an Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9300 (2.53GHz), 4GB DDR3 RAM, and dual 512MB nVidia GeForce 9800M GPUs. It's important to note that there is also an integrated graphics card, and that the X305 makes use of SLI, allowing you to switch between integrated and dedicated graphics to save battery. It also has both a 320GB 7200RPM HDD and a 128GB SSD, providing ample and speedy data storage. The two typical problem specs with gaming laptops are the weight and the battery life, and at 9.04lbs and around 1.5 hours respectively you can see this laptop was not spared. There's also WiFi and Bluetooth and an eSATA/USB port to go along with 3 standard USB ports. This kind of gaming power isn't cheap, but you are getting a very powerful machine for your $4200 investment............link
