4 years!!!!! go for sager or Alienware AMD powerhouse. You wont regret it.

Pctorque has better service but you would want the better looking alienware with the led brand logo and name.

Even the dell xps170 is dull in front of these laptops. Dell is better in looks, company name and size(a bit lighter). But in gaming nothin beats AMD which dell doesnt have.

also look at toshiba qosmio. They are pretty good looking with media center OS, nvidia GPU, tv tuner and various display size options.

PS:- do you really need a laptop to game? If not then dont go for a powerful dedicated gpu. GPU's in notebooks are pretty hungry for battery power.

you can look for something decent like acer ferrari 4005,4006 too. carbon fibre, bluetooth, ferrari logo, bluetooth mouse, lightweight, excellent wsxga display are some of its highlights.


for gaming go alienware/pctorque(actually sager notebooks)
For media center power go for toshiba qosmio/desll xps
for lightweight mobility,looks and sufficient performance look at acer ferrari.
