    Okay I am looking to buy a gift for a friend for xmas.
    Does anyone have experience with RK Computers-MSI-Asus-Sager-Clevo-Compal - Custom Gaming Notebooks - Custom Gaming Laptops and if so are they okay.

    I looked at some of the normal retailers here on this forum but their prices is a bit over the top. Come on retailer get your game on, 10 Jan you would not be able to give this stuff away for free.
    RK = MSI 16F2-002 $689, MSI 16f2-004 $719, MSI 16F2-012 $839, MSI 1761-ID1 $869

    Budget $800 total delivered cost. Looking for better deals than this.

    What I need, minm. specs:
    GPU - 560m or 570m is ideal or better gpu.
    CPU - 2nd-gen i5 for now, i7-2760qm preferred,
    Ram - 4gb ram or more,
    Storage - no hd's / no ssd's,
    Network - wifi yes,
    Screen - Mat screen is always a + 15"~17"
    Windows not needed only drivers for windows.
    Rest is default options.
    games - not too much bothered about the free games that comes with the product, maybe mw3 or bf3 would be nice if it can be played on this laptop.
    Delivery AZ USA.

    Retailer can keep the xbox / console if I win it or give it to some charity, same with archam something something game

    Buying via Amazon store would be ideal.

    MSI seems nice will consider other brands as well.

    On the 10th of january you will have chips that will never see a notebook due to their power consumption. Then a couple of months later we will see a desktop launch of the lower end chips, so maybe a month or two after than they will start to trick into notebooks.

    Would be surprised if we see a mobile Nvidia offering before the middle of next year. So really, don't be surprised if prices dont change.

    Wow umm your post is very confusing and kind of insulting to retailers.

    Suffice to say they don't need your business....

    i agree fo niff here. maybe if u were donald trump or someone alike, the computer business would be shaking right now.... but anyways, let me show u the way, as in try to help:

    send emails to all the "overpriced" companies. perhaps they will consider ur super duper menacing serious as death threat, and drop prices :)

    or u can buy ur friend an ipad, cause u sound like someone who would buy an ipad and donate its free macbook to charity or something yada yada....

    Or just give up, find a Gateway nv78, get a q9200 and a new motherboard and install a 6970m with a homebuilt heatsink...

    Thats about 600$.
