I've been looking at a few laptops and I need help gauging their performance. Basically, I'm looking to be able to run most/all high end games without any problems. These are the models I'm considering so far:
One
Two
This is the laptop I currently own. It's been able to run a lot of games at pretty ok settings, but I'd like more performance.
Any other suggestions are welcome, but try to stick to ASUS with Windows 7 installed. I know they have an older (REALLY ugly) gaming laptop that I'd consider if the price was right. A friend of mine has that model and he has yet to find a game he hasn't been able to run at full settings. All I know is that it's a 50 - G something model. If anybody has any idea what I'm talking about, link? I don't know why I haven't been able to find it.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Some of you may remember me making a "new laptop" thread less than a year ago. Regrettably, due to some apparent hardware problems and some ignorant tampering on my part, it's already time for another one. I blue screen frequently; like multiple times a week, and I stupidly voided the warranty to fix a tiny little keyboard jam and created an even bigger problem in the process. I accidentally loosened one of the soldering points that connects the screen to the motherboard, so now my screen artifacts like mad about every five minutes. On top of all that, my audio drivers will NOT work. My drivers are up to date yet I still get constant audio popping and static. I've contacted both Realtek and ASUS and neither of them knew what was wrong.
I really don't have the time to send this computer away to get the screen fixed because I need it for school, and even if I did send it away, I'd still have the blue screen problem, which is not exactly helpful when I'm typing a paper. I'm also not too keen on the idea of putting any more money into a computer that was overpriced to begin with, can't be entirely fixed, and isn't giving me the performance I want anyway. I'd much rather just bite the bullet on this one and spend the money on a new laptop for the peace of mind.
On that note, does anyone know where I can try to make a small profit on a busted laptop? Somewhere that isn't eBay?
