Sager is what I was eyeing before coming to my senses about just building a home rig.

he can get as crazy as he wants with the specs, they always have the bleeding edge shit:

Nvidia chipset preferably. Lots of RAM for elite Photoshoppery. Sexy display always a plus. Maybe a little actual battery life as opposed to enough to move from one power outlet to the other. Under $2k.

I have an MSi gaming laptop, they're pretty goddamn powerful and a pretty good value for what you get.  Bought mine over a year ago and it can still run the new releases with full settings and has still better specs than most current systems, dropped something like $1400 or so at the time.  I'd imagine their current lineup to be pretty damn good too.

Okay Van Cruncheon, do you have anything that is sexier?

The client says that both the Sager and the Samsung are too ugly, or "it looks like something someone coughed up"

Apple feggitry.

Does anyone know if the G75VX is any good.

That is such a badass piece of industrial design, considering the era. The //c still looks like it could be used as a prop in a SF tv program.

In contrast, here's what IBM was putting out at the time, and China was cloning as quickly as they could push them out:

No, you'd need a pc 10 years more recent in order to run MW2. This can run JET and Rogue.

I can put my laptop on my lap and play on the couch,  shit is better then off screen play on wii u or a big telly.

I guess it depends on the game. Most of the time I prefer sitting at a desk and then a desktop PC is both cheaper and more powerful.

If it's related to demos, and MS is your publisher, see if they have any of their own, recent, MS-branded items on which to demo.
