What is the best gaming laptop for around $1500? Also what is the best screen size?

I am looking for a good gaming laptop and I was also wondering what would be the best screen size. Also, i was wondering what external/portable hard drive i should get (if any).

What is the best gaming laptop for around $1500? Also what is the best screen size?
The one that has the fastest cpu, most video ram, most cache on the hard drive, most ram and fastest ram(ram has different mhz speeds.) Desktop machines will give you the most for your money, about twice the gaming power per dollar. Try--Cyberpower,Inc--for ideas. Also--iBUYPOWER--they both have great machines at good prices. If you still want a laptop--video ram is very important in gaming, look for the one with the most video ram.
Reply:Depends on what kind of games you're going to play. Most laptops come with the newest series of GPUs from Nvidia or ATi and with 2GB of RAM, you should be able to play most games. For $1500, you're not gonna get too much gaming power, try to see what you can get from AlienWare if you're a serious gamer. PCs deliver more performance though, because the GPUs on laptops are designed to be smaller and consume less power, so it has lower quality than a full blown PCI-E card.
