OT-Gaming laptop for preteen

[sdsubie]

If you do go the laptop route, definitely consider the Alienware M11x. They have a configuration that includes Windows 7 64-bit, 4GB DDR3 RAM, Core i5, and 1GB video card for $999. I also think an Alienware laptop is every 12 year olds dream.

Thanks for the feedback and I’m well past the tip of the iceberg. My son has already been to video game programing camps and is very astute about computers. He plays games that allow him to re-program things and add mods. He just searches youtube for tutorials and watches 30 to 60 minute videos to learn things. Until now I have only let him use my downstairs tower so i can keep an eye on him but the stuff he is picking up online is killing mine. Also he goes back and forth between 2 households and really wants to be able to always have his stuff with him so a laptop is the only solutuion.

Thanks again for the help!

Find the http://www.tomshardwareguide.com forum. Populated by geeks with great advice, including (my favorite) a parts guide organized by use and price – in other words, they tell you what combination of hardware to get for your need and budget. I went by that when building my latest, rather than doing my usual research, and could not be happier with the result.

I’d recommend you either ask him what he wants or let him pick one out. The problem with a laptop is you’re stuck with what you buy, no changing out parts later. Even if you buy the fastest laptop available, if it’s got say an Intel video card in it, it’s going to suck for games. There are other considerations beyond video card as well, so it might be a good time for your son to learn about compromise and give him a budget and let him choose what he thinks is important.
