I was against gaming laptops, but now I see they have some positives. Is there anyone that plays EU on decent enought graphic on 17" laptop that don't cost more than a car?
asus rog gaming laptop are pretty good in my expierence, i play entropia on the previus range of these laptops and have no problems. they are a bit pricy but they are cheaper then most cars http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/ASUS_ROG_G750JX/
Aleinware if you can get them when there on offer and there doing deels then they can be a lot cheeper than the list price. Also depends on the configuration you want . My Little Baby M18 base configuration http://www.alienware.co.uk/Landings/laptops.aspx Ok Time to show it off yes its a laptop as I like to be able to move my equipment and when i then go on holidays I have access to Entropia Universe & Planet Arkadia Of Course. and its only 8kg in weight and i think 1.5kg just for the power supply but then its all about the cool factor right. And Its got lots of programmable keys and lights ( and yes you guessed it they actually synchronize and go from light to dark pink and back again ) and the sides do that as well Now for the Geeky Stuff AlienFX™AlienFX System Lighting Technology gives you access to a variety of themes and up to 512 billion distinct lighting combinations2, so you can personalise as much as you like.

I have a Toshiba Qosmio X70 which is a couple of years old now but still handles EU well. The newer version is spectacular too and I'll be getting that soon. Can't recommend Toshibas enough, never failed me yet.
I use a Fujitsu Lifebook NH532 basic. Light weight, runs EU in normal mode no lag and extreme mode with lag. Alienware would be good, but the Laptop weight is trumendous. I wouldn't want to travel with that
I've got a Lenovo something-or-other. Primarily for hacking through some mighty spreadsheets but handles Entropia pretty good. Processor fan is on a lot when playing but nothing crashes. Graphics are set to Very High all round. Spec wise it has got an i7-4700MQ processor @ 2.4Ghz nd 16Gb RAM with 64bit W8.1 Have to say I'm happy with it other than one of the USBs is a bit flakey. As for Alienware, had an Area 51 model in 2009 - 2010'ish and have to say, it was the most unreliable piece of kit I've had - kept blowing the video card. Was fixed 3 times under Warranty, then I gave up and sold it for spares.
