Thinking about ditching the MBP since it is still worth a decent chunk of change and I kind of want something I can game on.
I am thinking the HP DV6T with the GT 650M might be the way to go since you can get it with a matte screen which I see as a huge plus. Just wanted to throw it out there to see if anyone had any suggestions before I start digging in. Your thoughts?
I have had good experiences with asus laptops. Not sure what they are offering these days when it coming to gaming laptops.
Asus' G series should be good... I've heard bad things about HP and the dual graphics switching not working very well... and lack of support
I myself have a Lenovo Y570 w/ GT 555M and i5 processor and only got to play League of Legends but it has been fine.
My brother has a slightly older HP DV6T and he hasn't had any issues. He didn't realize the graphics switching didn't happen automatically so he was playing SWTOR for a couple days on the intel graphics.Quote:

That is the trick right there. find one with a lower native resolution. Your gaming experience will be so much better. I have a Asus G61 (1366*768). gts 360m.
It will play most games just fine.
On my Lenovo, it auto detects when a game plays and kicks in GT 555M automatically...
