About the XPS series, they are said to be gaming but they are able to play even less games as mine can. Believe, my brother has one."They are said"? Who says that? And which XPS does your brother have?

Anyway if you want the absolute best gaming performance on a Laptop, you'd have to look out for any laptop that has an SLI system in it. For instance there are Alienware notebooks with 2 Geforce 280M in SLI mode available.

Aye but you don't wanna haul that thing around

Weight : Starting at 11.68 lb

Also, I see that laptop listed for $2500, dunno if it's available cheaper because it's hard to find on google.

[edit] Actually the very very cheapest model is $1800 but that one has the slowest hardware and no SLI setup. Price for the fastest hardware but without all the extra crap like headphones, insurance, etc) is $4900!!

Cheapest setup but including the 280M in SLI is $2400, but with only medium performance hardware for the rest.
