I'm an avid gamer, and right now I have everything from Counter Strike Source to World of Warcraft to Doom 3 running on my Alienware laptop, and it's starting to ge tsome serious lag well, I looked into Voodoo PC and they look much stronger than my Alienware, but do you think they're really worth $4000. btw, I hope to join a pro gaming league sometime, so i really need a good comp and am willing to pay that much if its really necessary

As far as Voodoo computers go, the Envy u:709 looks like a great laptop, just take the hints above and you should have a great gaming system, even if it's a laptop! Hope I could help. Good luck picking out a computer.

For a gaming PC, a desktop is a better investment because they can be upgraded and are clearly more powerful. By all means, get a notebook, but just remember the majority of the cost is paying for the technology that went behind making it portable, and if you dont actually need that/use it that much, then your money could be better used for desktop components. With 4 grand, you could go nuts with parts. Customization can be a big thing for gamers. Scrap stock parts and build the thing from scratch.
