Master Notebook List
From WSGFWiki
The entries in this table represent the "best" or "maximum" option. For a machine to be listed here, it must have a current generation processor and a dedicated video card (no shared VRAM). Also, we attempt to only keep items on this list that are "currently selling." For a full list of notebooks that have been listed here, please visit the Notebook Category page.
Also, be sure to check out our Monitor List and the information on Surround Gaming. To aid in your notebook selection, you can also browse notebooks by:
