laptops are garbage

If you really care about portable gaming then get something actually made for that stuff like a Vita or DS.

uh

I dunno what's going on on your side.

For budget good hardware in a laptop, the Inspiron i7559 with the i7 6700HQ & 960M is easily your best bet. I would check Amazon over the Dell website, you can get them there for ~$800 new.

On the other hand you could save up/increase your budget and look into the new 1060 models that are being released at the moment. Supposedly performing within 10% of desktop cards. Any of the 10x series would last you much longer compared to a 960, depending on the games you plan on playing. Starting prices for 10x laptops is like $1500 US, so unless you only want one computer for home/on the go I'd stick with a desktop.

Laptop hardware is getting a lot better, it just comes at less efficient pricing compared to a desktop equivalent. You could probably build a desktop with the same hardware as that laptop and have money left over for something else that's portable, like a tablet or w/e.



The Lenovo y700 is also a good choice, they basically have the same hardware. I personally like the look of the Dell more + the keyboard layout, but the choice is down to aesthetics.

Oh wow, basically my laptop's specs. Pretty nice.

I reeeeeeaally want this bitch.

It's the same price I paid a friend for a custom desktop PC a long time ago but with better specs.

nah not really
i mean you probably can't get as good as you could with an expensive custom desktop set-up but there are ones made for gaming that are actually really nice
plus i mean with a vita or ds you obviously can't play the same games you could on a decent laptop

so im looking into this one
