You should probably also tell us what computer this is, because it matters.

The specs will perform very well in all but the most demanding titles.

I can't tell you the brand coz there is no brand. This is a local company, like Allienware. They use MSI box and the components.

Right ok, obviously build quality and stuff matters. But just the raw hardware should be quite strong.

When you are getting such a powerful laptop you should really get an ssd.

I guess he means, that we don't know the quality and brand of the specific parts, and you cant tell us about the company building the laptop.

But "gaming" and "laptop" in the same sentence? A gaming rig has to be big, watercooled and temperamental!  :D

After venting my prejudices, as Gaeios said, an SSD is really, really nice!
What motherboard is connecting the pieces?

I just edited some hardware as chipset and hard drive.

The company is a local one named Monster. The website is in Turkish so i am not sure if it would be right to mention about it but it is www.monsternotebook.com.tr (http://www.monsternotebook.com.tr) They use MSI box with turbo coolers as they say. Pictures can be seen at http://www.monsternotebook.com.tr/urun_detay.aspx?urn=466974&kat=6454&lang=tr-TR#.VCvY-vl_uSo (http://www.monsternotebook.com.tr/urun_detay.aspx?urn=466974&kat=6454&lang=tr-TR#.VCvY-vl_uSo)

I can say nothing but agree, however considering the fact that i am not homeley nowadays and will not be for sometime, a laptop is the best option for me :(
