    Im looking for a good deal on a gaming laptop. Would I be better off buying off dell.ie or is their somewhere else perhaps up the north where I could get one cheaper.

    If you're in PC World, see if they have an Advent 7555 GX.

    Think it is about £995. Has a Q9000 (2GHz Quadcore) and the ATI 4850 mobility (very high-end as far as laptop GPUs go). Basically a cheaper version of the MSI GT725.

    The RGBLED screen is supposed to be stunning, Andatech called it the best screen they'd seen on a notebook; compareable to some good desktop monitors.

    And the HD4670 is the best mid-level mobile graphics card at the moment, its very good. Its not a high-end card, but will perform admirably in most recent games.

    So that's a grand laptop, and a good price considering the RGBLED screen is normally a ~€300 option.

    Thats good too hear. I thought it was a good price myself. It should be able to handle most games for the next year at least and the next couple of years as lower settings.
