About Gamersyde
Gamersyde is a commercial multiplatform web portal based in Europe, with hundreds of thousands of visitors each month from all over the world. We cover both handheld and video games platforms and the site has grown into one of the biggest gaming sites in the continent. We are able to offer fast news delivery and HD content from the upcoming games, and one of the greatest and friendliest gaming communities in the world. The HD content we provide always respects the original resolution and framerate of the games we capture, making Gamersyde the one and only place to get 1080p/4K/60fps videos with high bitrate. At a time when Youtube's subpar video compression has become the norm for most people on the Internet, we refuse to give up quality without a fight. We now also produce HDR videos, which can only be enjoyed by those who own compatible televisions. The content we produce is obviously not free of use should you want to upload our videos on your own website or YouTube channel.

Since 7078 DaysWhat should a Notebook be able to do these days? What processors are recommended? And since I want to play games with possible DX10 support, what GFX card should I go for. Price is important of course, so I won't go for the top tier Hardware. So in short: Where do I get the most bang for the buck?
Thanks in advance.
Since 8214 DaysI've always liked Asus notebooks, but they're not the cheapest..

Since 7576 DaysI'd recommend the 5796 with the following configuration: P9500 (2.53GHz C2D), 9800M GT (or GTX if you have the money), 4 gigs of DDR3, Vista 64 (Home), 200gb 7200 RPM HDD (320 if you can afford it).
You're looking at a price tag of 2300-2600 depending on the configuration and vendor, but you won't readily find a much better value for that kind of hardware. If you go to Dell or Alienware, you'll pay a bigger premium, and basically no one else is going to offer those components together. I'd get the 1920x1200 screen, too, but that's mostly because I do graphics work, as a gamer 1680x1050 is a-ok.
You can shave even more off the cost if you want lesser parts, and if you REALLY want to go cheap, Gateway's new FX is several hundred dollars less (with a much slower CPU) and uses the 9800M GTS, which will probably be a pretty capable card as well. In this case GTX > GT > GTS. Don't get a faster cpu than the P9500, since chances are you can overclock it if you really want/need to.

Don't let people tell you that you can't buy a high end gaming notebook. These are notebooks that push the best PC games to pretty nice extremes in a portable package. If you're looking for a more casual, lower end gaming experience, you can still game on lesser hardware. Whatever you do though, avoid Intel Integrated Graphics like the plague.

Since 7576 DaysThey're easy to recommend when it comes to mid-to-high end gaming portables.
