2. involves water or phase change cooling
3. the computer is over $1750

I dont mean to sound like most people. But you shouldnt purchase a laptop with the intent of gaming unless you want to be dissappointed, or dont have another option for gaming. I used to need a laptop because it was my only option for a computer, and even then I would spend 2000 on it and it would be worth maybe 500 dollars after the first year. My recommondation would be to build a 1000 dollar pc (which would be better then this laptop) and a decent 600 dollar laptop for general use. we
As for the initual question Saber makes really well built laptops. Otherwise I would just buy an Asus or Msi Laptop. Something like these:
