Author Topic: Need A Gaming Laptop  (Read 2153 times)

As for which laptop is better, I don't know. Check the specs yourself. (remember, don't forget about weight/battery life)

I am so jealous. My laptop is garbage for gaming, it always overheats

I only have $650 saved up so I am out of luck for a while

You could get a fairly decent desktop for that price...

lol my parents probably wouldn't let me. I should look into desktops I guess

I already have a moniter, this is one of the first things I found: http://www.amazon.com/CyberpowerPC-Gamer-Ultra-GUA880-Desktop/dp/B0089KDCIU/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1399743485&sr=8-4&keywords=gaming+laptop

Don't even bother with gaming laptops.  They are defective by design.  You are cramming tons of heat intensive hardware into a very small space, so they are prone to hardware failure and overheating.  Even if that doesn't break it, they are often poorly assembled and will break within a year or two.

Hmhm, laptops aren't just good for gaming. They break way to fast. My craptop once was a gaming laptop. Fan broke, screen is flickering sometimes, Key out of the keyboard, loving SLOW.

This is an easy statement to break down

A) You are mistreating your computers, this is easily done by unacknowledged computer users

B) Stop buying cheap off-branded computers that break down overtime

Buying brands, especially one such as Lenovo which is a branch of IBM, who has had their foot in the door at least 7 years before computers started becoming mainstream consumer devices back in the 80's and 90's, they won't break down because they know what the forget they are doing when making computers.

Edit:  Not all laptops are created equal

will this work

$1149 cost
Those specs look pretty good, i'll check out reviews, but as of right now I am definitely leaning toward the ASUS I posted in the OP.

Also I hear a lot of good things about Lenovo, and that one is cheaper.


Stay away from Lenovo, mine's given me nothing but stuff the entire time I've had it.

I recommend an MSI GX60 series: http://www.xoticpc.com/msi-gx60-3be240us-p-6157.html

They have the most powerful mobile GPU available right now, the AMD R9 290X, and are generally amazingly well-put-together machines. MSI doesn't forget around with their gaming laptops.

If you order from XoticPC you can customize it to your liking as well.

Good luck in making a decision.

Quick Question, I didn't see in OP.

Why a laptop and not a Desktop?

Cause he wants portablity and he already has a desktop.

Asus G75VX

Two of my friends have it and it is an absolute beast and can run anything. Right around your price range too.
