    So I wanted to build a gaming laptop...

    I was looking at building a really sick gaming laptop for ~2000 cad dollars

    I want to be able to play LoL, and some other games on max, and do school work, PSP, etc.

    I went on ibuypower and this is what I had built I would Like some input on this please :) Or even suggest a different computer... It must have a 17inch+ screen.

    Case
    Valkyrie CZ-17 17.3" Full HD 1920x1080 LED-Backlit Display Laptop w/HDMI Port, E-SATA, USB 3.0, Illuminated Keyboard, Li-Ion Battery, Universal AC Power Adapter - Original Metallic black
    Processor

    Is there anything I should add/drop?

    Oh and what is the benefit of having a Solid State HD? I've been told its much better but just want to clarify why.

        Gaming laptop is an oxymoron.

        "That just will not do." was keywii's response as she lunged for the scissors, pulled the blades apart, and clamped them down on the base of foil's shaft. Blood start gushing out of the wound where his penis used to be.
        "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Yelled Foil in horror.
        "Don't worry. I'm a wizard" uttered Keywii. And with that, Foil's penis grew back.

            Do laptops even have 120hz refresh rates?

                edit: I'm sorry xNiX this comment was unnecessary

                I'll help you in the morning if nobody else has, because it's like 6AM here and I need to sleep.

                    Sorry I did not contribute anything into what you're trying to do. I have more experience with desktops than laptops.

                        Don't get a gaming laptop. (It is not worth the money, power cable requirements, and heat)

                        Get a portable, high battery life, laptop strictly for school so that you can't play your stupid LoL game when you should be doing work.

                        Then get a gaming desktop for home, so you can play your kick ass LoL game when fuck homework.

                          That's what I was gonna do before, what should I get? I would get a Mac if I had millions of dollars. Should I just get a laptop with like 16 gig of ram but a shittier vid card and processor?

                            Do some research on Asus. You can't go wrong with Asus. Just be careful when buying it, given your proximity to the fail that is bilingual keyboards.
                            I got an Asus U43JC in 2010, and it still has a 7 hour battery life if I stay away from media, down from 9.
                            With constant media you get 3-4 hours.

                              I have my sisters ASUS that was bought in 2010 and it is completely broken. I hate it.
