hello dear crossfire,

i want to buy 2 notebooks, one for me, second for my father and because im not so up to date with current tech news im looking for some ideas and opinion from you

1st one should be good for games (its the one for me:E)

Sony Vaio's are fairly good, but not really for Games. If you search a Laptop for games buy a Asus or Acer, you could buy a Alienware Notebook ass well, but they are not available in Poland and they are very expensive...
just to be sure... you have seen/held a 17" laptop before right? because at that stage they become far less portable
not exactly

I have 2 (Asus) laptops of 15,4" both and that's RLY the limit for what you can call "mobile"
17" / 20" is getting ridiculous (to walk/carry around with)

my first (A6VC) is lets say a mediocre laptop for regular usage, weighs like 2,9kg, my second (C90) weighs a bit more since there's much difference in hardware (is more sofisticated, has kickass hardware) but that all comes with a price.. the battery from my C90 only lasts for 1,5hrs max, while the "older" laptop goes for about 4hrs

I'd say if you're going to buy that gaming laptop mostly for home-use, then I wouldn't mind the 17", otherwise I'd think about a 15 / 15,4"

E: I don't have a PC available, so I had been checking and reading alot about laptops (with extreme performances), since it would be for school + entertainment (especially gaming). comparing pro's and contra's etc and I came up with that 15,4" C90. I wanted to go for a 17" at first place but thinking I have to carry that to school during the week, I was and still am happy of my decision

When you say "good for games", are you expecting to pay about 1500€ or 3000€? When you say "17,1 screen", what resolution are you expecting?
Gateway P-6831FX, bought it in the US ($1300), really nice for the price, but it's hard to find one in Poland, I believe.
How about these two notebooks
