Any good gaming laptops between $700-$900?

[TrainandSpacelover]

I'm looking for a decent gaming laptop that would be able to run most games at at least high settings. By most games, I mean world of tanks, war thunder, TF2, and other stuff of that sort. I've been looking at the Lenovo y410p recently. It looks like a good machine and has pretty good reviews. Some people say the opposite unfortunately. If this isn't a good purchase, please suggest some other laptops.

no, i don't want a desktop
please don't suggest any unless i ask for some

That Lenovo looks great, but if you want some things to compare it to:

just avoid HP and you'll be fine

I've searched that multiple times. Most videos or sites that come up recommend the lenovo y510p, but that is like $1300, and i really don't want to pay over 1000.

nope you've found a good purchase

I own the Y50, it's the successor and newer version of the Y510p. You can buy it for as low as $1100 if you're willing to spend a few hundred more. If not, the 410p is a great option as long as you don't need a numpad

If you actually look at the laptop you can see the trackpad is one piece containing two buttons (so you have to click on either side, and sometimes this doesn't work as intended).

oh, lol. I thought he was talking about laptops in general. I didn't even notice there was a link in the OP

I haven't really followed laptop stuff since I bought mine a while ago but I would definitely check out Lenovo. They started getting into some really nice gaming laptops and I think they made one that has weight and is really thin like the Razer one but blows it out of the water spec wise.

But for deciding on a laptop some more requirements would help. What screen size do you want, is weight and size important, do you plan on using it mobile or is it for going place to place, and then do you care about matte screens or not. Because if you plan on using it as basically a desktop that is easy to move you can get a much more hefty one with meh battery life and get better bang for the buck.

I might get the 410 because I don't really need a numpad, considering I have another keyboard and mouse.

Screen size isn't a huge issue, since I have a monitor. If I get a gaming laptop, it will mostly be used at home, but it would be nice for it to be relatively light if I want to take it somewhere else.
