M18x with 7970m crossfire would best suit your needs.

Thank you

how about glare ?

until i know covers will reduce quality , isn't it ?

[moral hazard]

I would say get the Sager but with a 680m.
It overclocks better than the 7970m.
Also it should have better drivers.

[HTWingNut]

For gaming for 3 years get the 7970m or 680m GPU. 680m seems to have a little more overclock potential, but you can likely swap video cards in 2 years for something more powerful.

My vote is Sager NP9150 hands down.

Thank you

How about msi gt60 0NE ?

also is gt60 0NE gpu (gtx 680m) replaceable ?

[DaCM]

The MSI has the same screen size as the Sager, but it's heavier, thicker and more expensive. In my opinion the Sager NP9150 - even with a 7970m - will not have problems running games for 2-3 years on high and it's much cheaper than the larger CF laptops. Later on you can buy a GTX 680m or something more powerful if you need to, but I don't think it would happen.

The MSI laptop has an anti-glare screen, better keyboard, speakers than the Sager. On the graphics card side though, I'll tell you that you get what you pay for in that sector. 7970M X-Fire would not be a good option in my opinion, head over to the Alienware M18X section and you'll see what I mean.
