Damn, that is expensive.
I was looking for a gaming laptop, since I will be traveling to london for the next year, and I need to play games. Unfortunately, and as usual, here the prices for good laptops are very high and there are limited brands that offer gaming laptops. So I just spoke with my friend who lives in the US and he agreed to purchase the laptop I want and to ship it through Fedex.
And I found this very interesting page
http://www.xoticpc.com/custom-gaming-laptops-notebooks-gaming-laptops-ct-118_96_98.html. It contains a lot of laptops and the cool thing is that each one is customizable. I'm thinking of getting the ASUS G53SX-A1. very powerful and after customizing it, it will sell for like 1700$, so overall, I might end up paying about 2000$. I'm still waiting a little bit to order it (through my friend).
