Well then I stick to Toshiba. For £1174 the X300 is an awesome machine. First gaming laptop to introduce 3 GPUs, they really set the standard for the rest of the industry.

Asus laptops are alright, aggressively priced and pack decent hardware but be careful with the model you pick. I had an Asus W3J which was a sleek beautifully designed machine but which eventually died due to heat damage after 1.5 years of pretty intense use. Having a Core 2 Duo and a Radeon X1600 stuck in a tight rig with only one vent and one fan+dissipator unit is a Bad Idea (TM). Any serious gaming session caused the CPU to exceed 90C and sometimes it crashed entirely. The last crash took the GPU down (for the second time) and ASUS decided to replace the laptop entirely. I blame on its rather cool but ultimately flawed design. Asus went and discontinued the entire line, in part because of issues like this.
Its replacement is an Asus F8SA. Decent performance, well ventilated, nice looking laptop but the screen is a bit rubbish (too faint and unevenly lit). Since the warranty is gone and I didn't pay a penny for it, I am planning to upgrade the GPU to an ATI HD3850 with a bit of tinkering and sheer courage/stupidity.
Alienware are fine if you can afford the extra price. Toshiba make fine machines if you can cope with the weird keyboard layout and usually have very good screens. HP are decent if you are OK with too plasticky casing but their models tend to lag behind in terms of GPU. Anyway, that's what I have experienced through the years.
