Looking to buy a 1000 dollar gaming laptop?




John


I'm looking to buy a great gaming laptop for 1000 dollars. 15-17 inch screen. At least 8 gigs of ram 1080p graphics. Very fast. Windows 7. And will last me a while


Answer
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230597
Core i7 3630QM(2.40GHz) 15.6" 8GB Memory 1TB HDD 5400rpm DVD±R/RW NVIDIA GeForce Dedicated 2GB GT 635M 1 Year Accidental Damage/30-Day Zero Bright Dot

Brand buying advice

You get what you pay for. Systems with high end parts with low prices are to be viewed with suspicion. They have to cut corners somewhere to get the price down.

Apple makes a good quality laptop. The problem comes when it requires service or minor upgrades. It is near impossible to do anything with them. They even glue the battery and hard drive down so you can not change it. They solder the ram to the logic board so you can not increase it. They lock up most of the software so your stuck with what they approve.

Lenovo has serious stand behind their product problems. They bought IBM PC division and proceeded to drive the quality of the system into the ground. Their customer service is well below par. They even makes Dell customer service look good. The last and final thing to remember about them is they are a Chinese Government own company. It is up to you if you want to trust them.

Toshiba, Panasonic, Sony should be avoided because of their heavy modification of Windows and the drivers. If you remove some of the bloat they install, you can cripple the system.

Acer, Gateway, and eMachines should be avoided period. Low end system that are driving the race to the bottom.

Dell once made a good system and fell from grace. They are now struggling to regain their place in the market. Customer service is one of many problems with this company.

Alienware are glorified Dells and are more name then product. Priced extremely high for what you get. They do perform but you can get the same for less by looking around, just not packaged to be eye candy to the gamers.

Samsung has a history of using cheap parts in critical areas. Capacitors has been one area Samsung has a known history of going cheap, causing units to fail early. For that reason I would avoid them.

ASUS and HP do not modify Windows as bad as the other manufacturers. They have excellent build quality. They might add a lot of bloat but they also makes it easy to get rid of it.

Ultrabooks are the higher end of Wintel laptops but they have some of the same concerns as Apple. They make it next to impossible to change any hardware in them. Service of them will have to be done by the manufacturers. With most of them, you can not change your own battery or hard drive. They are designed to catch your eye but they are not any more special then other laptops except for the fact that they are slim or thin. Your paying for it being thin and slim. For the money your going to spend on it you can buy a much better laptop with more power.

Hybrids are the worse of the worse. The flip or detachable touch screens are just a disaster waiting to happen.

Never buy an All In One. They are far worst then laptops of any kind to service and they have a higher failure rate. My experience with them are limited because the few I worked on made me think they were designed in such a way as it would take a blow torch and a jack hammer just to disassemble them.

Choose wisely.

i want a gaming laptop but i am on a budget?




Michael


i have 1100 dollars i want a laptop that is powerful portability is not really a issue but something portable would be nice power is more in my mind i want something that can run battlefield 4, assassins creed 4, cod ghosts, and maybe crysis 3 at ultra settings above 30fps 1100 dollars is not much but it might be enough thanks
i am open to buying used laptops and buying them on ebay craigslist amazon i won't be buying a desktop because i don't have any space to put it in



Answer
Well, There are gaming laptops that will run BF4 in excess of 30 FPS without hickups, 1100 is a good price range.

Lets look at the GTX 780
http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-780M.88993.0.html
40 on ultra
then there is the 770 GTX
http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-770M.88995.0.html
27 ish on ultra
Here is one on eBay at Just your price mark
http://www.ebay.com/itm/R-MSI-GT60-2OC-022US-15-6-1TB-Intel-Core-i7-2-40-GHz-8-GB-GTX770-3Gb-/271396169594?pt=Laptops_Nov05&hash=item3f3078e77a
A new laptop with 8970 GPU
http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-8970M.90656.0.html
http://www.ebay.com/itm/MSI-GX60-3BE-240US-15-6-AMD-A10-5750-8GB-DDR3-AMD-HD-8970M-VGA-Gaming-Laptop-/181174450829?pt=Laptops_Nov05&hash=item2a2ed6ba8d
38 FPS on ultra settings.

And then there is the latest release as in so new, testing websites have no real benchmarks to post yet, the ATI 290X which is 50% faster then the 780GTX, so expect 60FPS on ultra settings.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/MSI-GX60-Destroyer-280-15-6-AMD-A10-5750-8GB-DDR3-AMD-R9-M290X-Gaming-Laptop-/161218529819?pt=Laptops_Nov05&hash=item25895f8a1b
Here is one, but its 1220$, 120 over your price range, but it destroys all the competition in the gaming laptops genre, will give you 60 FPS on ultra settings and I think you get like free coupons for some new games with it.
The 17 inch model is Another 100$ more.

So yes, you can do it, but you just need to raise your budget about 100 bucks to get the best of the best.

my new gaming laptop?




Assassin


i have been thinking of buying a new laptop and its specs are
Intel® Coreâ¢i5 Dual Core Mobile Processor i5-2430M (2.40GHz) 3MB
4GB SAMSUNG 1333MHz SODIMM DDR3 MEMORY (2 x 2GB)
nVIDIA® GeForce® GT 555M - 2GB DDR3 Video RAM - DirectX® 11
i will be using windows 7
will this laptop handle games like bf3 on medium settings and minecraft on high?



Answer
Gaming performance is all about the video card
Here are some comparisons
In short, the GT 555M is on the bottom of the list of the upper class of cards that can be considered for gaming
You will be able to play games with restricted resolution and medium but not High or Ultra quality settings

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Comparison-of-Laptop-Graphics-Cards.130.0.html

http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html - the GT 555M scores 1,012, the HD6850 which would be the minimum for BF3 on High rather than Medium, scores 2,730

Who makes the best laptops for playing games like Sims etc., music, pics, media and is priced $1000 and below?

Q. I need a new laptop and i like games, music, pictures, videos and movie making, and of courses need a burner as well. I also need to still be able to handle things like term papers etc. but entertainment is needed to. So who has the best memory and stuff.


Answer
For gaming, Alienware is pretty good, I guess. The alien logo bothers me, though.

For entertainment, an HP or Toshiba laptop might be good.

For homework and business applications, a Dell seems professional enough.

When buying, it's not so much the company as the components.

1. CPU
Get a Core 2 Duo, speed doesn't really matter too much.
2. RAM
Get 2 GB, DDR2-667 speed if possible, I don't think laptops support DDR2-800.
3. Graphics Card
If you're a serious gamer, get 2 7900s in SLI. (2 Video cards work together for more performance.)
If you're an average gamer or don't have thousands of bucks to spend, get at least a 7600.

You'll want a nice battery life, so keep in mind that the better the performance, the faster the battery will burn out, especially during gaming.

Recommendations on laptops?

Q. I am looking for a medium size laptop, priced at about $1000. I will mainly be surfing the internet, and doing schoolwork on it, but I need it to be powerful enough to run and download softwares quickly. I am not going to be playing any games, but I will be developing apps on it. I prefer Windows, as I have never owned a PC before and would like to. Also, something safe and secure would help because I tend to download things from some sketchy websites...
Thank you!!!

Brand buying advise

You get what you pay for. Systems with high end parts with low prices are to be viewed with suspicion. They have to cut corners somewhere to get the price down. What cost you less today is going to cost you more tomorrow.

Lenovo has serious stand behind their product problems. They bought IBM PC division and proceeded to drive the quality of the system into the ground. Their customer service is well below par. They even makes Dell customer service look good. Lenovo will not allow people to read instruction on how to access the BIOS menu or to get info on their puters on their web site unless you connect to them thru Facebook. They do this so they can spy on their users. The last and final thing to remember about them is they are a Chinese Government own company. It is up to you if you want to trust them.

Chrome books are useless. They are designed by Google to make you dependent on Google. If you can not access the web then you can not do anything.

Hybrids are the worse of the worse. The flip or detachable touch screens are just a disaster waiting to happen.

Never buy an All In One. They are far worst then laptops of any kind to service and they have a higher failure rate.

Question about GTA 5 and pc laptops.?

Q. I just have few questions to ask i hope you don't mind :)

Now i have heard rumors that GTA 5 will come out to pc gamers is that true? And if that is true can my new laptop handle it? And if not can i buy something or download something to make the game work?

I don't have much technical detail on my laptop, it's new and it's an Asus design.
(I know nothing about computer technology ha ha)
Like i said i am not a computer geek, if you want me to remove a bullet from someones body or stop a bleeding or what not i can do that but me and computers don't see eye to eye.

I bought a laptop that for the purpose of studying, not gaming but i am wondering if there is some memory chip i can attach to it or something like that.


Answer
You don't have any technical detail at all. All you show is a brand name.
To make a guess as to whether it is expected to be playable on your laptop, you will need to list the CPU as Intel or AMD something, and if it uses the CPU graphics or has a separate graphics card, and what the card is, if it has one, and how much DRAM memory sticks from 2 to 8 gigabytes.

Best laptop on the maket right now '13?

Q. Its March 2013. If i were to go buy a new laptop tomorrow, i want to buy the best available one for under $1500. I want to know why it is the best for that price.
Here is what im into:
- college student (Many Papers and researching)
- video making
- Adobe products (Photoshop/Dreamweaver)
- Minor programming (programs/web development)

I am not that big into gaming. So with all this what should I buy? Can be a mac or pc. Whatever will do what i want fast, and last long.


Answer
W.. T.. F.. is that one guy talking about??? haha!!!

For $1500, I'd say get a macbook pro 13 Retina. It's light, portable, stylish, and the Core i5 dual core proc in it should be able to handle everything you plan to do with it. Plus that screen is ridiculously clear and beautiful. There's nothing in the Windows world like it.

Obviously it's not a value machine though. You are paying through the nose because of what it is. For me, it's worth it because it does what I need it to do perfectly (I actually use a Retina 15). That's a value decision you need to make for yourself.

Another plus is an OS that is designed to work with just a few hardware configurations so you are much less likely to have crashes due to driver issues for example.

If you're looking more for value, there are suitable $600 windows machines that would work too- lots of options. I personally like Dells, HP's, and Lenovo's but there are literally hundreds of options.

Please help, Going to hong kong?




Vinay N


Im going to Hong Kong for the 1st time in a couple weeks for 13 nights(Causeway Bay), can some1 suggest a list of must see places, places to buy a decent laptop(that will work in the UK), DVDs, and where I can find a list of commonly used phrases in H.K.
If I buy an X-box/or PS3, will it and the games(bought there and UK), work in the UK? What about movies (Region problems?) Will I be able to get it 'chipped' so it will work and where can this be done?
Will I be able to get a (Tourist)/VISA in HK to enter China?
Any recommended Health Spa places?
Any recommended romantic restaurants/places to go?
Also, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. THANKS :)



Answer
I used to live there, so I think I can help somewhat.

Must see places.. well there's the peak tram, the harbor, the budhist temples, the ferry, etc.

Places to buy electronic goods. I suggest you go to "mong kok", there is a famous computer shopping center there which is a good place to buy stuff like that. Don't go into electronic shops around the tourist areas, because they will undoubtedly rip you off.

I've included a link to some phrase material in my sources.

The console that you buy in Hong Kong will probably not be a PAL version, but either the Japanese NTSC or American NTSC versions, and may or may not be able to play UK games (it depends on the ability of the chip), but shouldn't have a problem playing on a multi-system tv if you have one, and hong kong uses the same voltage as UK so they will provide the current converters). My PS2 however is a chipped Australian model that I bought in HK, and can play all games and movies regardless of region. You will have to find a seller who can speak decent English in order to specify what you need.
I'm not sure about PS3, but it usually takes pirates a short while to come out with a mod chip for new consoles and the PS3 hasn't been out that long. I think there is one for the X-box 360 though. Depending on where you go to buy your console, it may or may not be pre-chipped. Since piracy is essentially illegal, you'll have to search for the right shopping centers. The most famous one is called "The Golden Center" which is located in "Sham Shui Po" and is easy to find, since it's close to the MTR (the underground train station), but there is also one in "Ya Mei Tei" and also in "Tsuen Wan".

As for the VISA, I'm not sure, but your traveling restrictions to mainland china shouldn't be particularly different to that of Hong Kong.

Health spas, well there are plenty around the kowloon area. It's difficult to recommend any since, I've never used them. There is a country and yacht club called the 'gold coast' which is located in the New Territories which I used to go to, which has some great spa facilities, its a really scenic place too.

As for romantic locations, the first thing that comes to mind is the Kowloon harbor. But there are lots of places to go. As for restaurants, there are nice ones around the Kowloon area and Kowloon is the best for tourists as you will be able to communicate better there since they have a better grasp of English. I would suggest Tsim Sha Tsui, Jordan and Central.

It's also worth noting that there's only really one place where all the bars and nightclubs are located. It's called "Lan Kwai Fong" located in Central. The bar/nightclub industry is taxed quite highly in hong kong, so you may find that drinking out may hurt the wallet a little.

But have fun.

Where is the best place to buy cheap eletronic gadgets in Hong Kong?




Christian


I want to buy a few christmas gadgets such as ipods, digital cameras, video games and a laptop. Where is the best place to buy them in Hong Kong?
should I just go shopping to ShenZhen instead? i hear things are way cheaper on that side of china.



Answer
If you do go, there is a huge mall with cheap stuff just across the HK border of Lo Wu. If you stay in HK for your shopping, maybe try a certain IT mall near the MTR station of Sham Shui Po. Just go there, you cant miss it.

Ok. I gotta agree with the guy above that things are cheaper, but they arent THAT much cheaper. But I would add that if they ARE amazingly cheaper, you might want to think twice before you buy them. A little suspicious... ESPECIALLY in Shenahen. Though SZ is a bit cheaper than HK.

Another warning: My friend bought a PS2 in HK (back when they first came out), and a few games to go with it (games and movies are the one thing that is VERY inexpensive), but when he got back to the US, none of the North American games he bought would work on his console! Kind of like the region codes they sometimes put on DVDs. I dont know if the situation is still the same now. Something about PAL and NTSC Im told.

what is the best gaming laptop in 2013?

Q. Im gonna get one and i would like to know which one is the best.

All answers appreciated!!


Answer
Well Exoticpc sells custom laptops, I did a full customization on their most expensive one to see how far I could get it up, got to about $12'000 USD. They have laptops from MSI, Asus, Razor, etc. I'd say check them out first if you want a performance laptop.

What's the most powerful gaming laptop WITH the best 3D display 2013?




Answering


Hello hardcore gamers! With a budget of around 2K, I'd like to get a very poweful gaming laptop that has THE BEST HD screen for 3D gaming: high res, bright, emitters, 120hz LCD +, etc

For a while, I've had my eye on the Toshiba Qosmio X875 Q7390
http://computers.toptenreviews.com/gaming-laptops/toshiba/toshiba-qosmio-x-series-review.html

But I've wondered about the Alienware MX17:
http://computers.toptenreviews.com/gaming-laptops/alienware-corporation/alienware-m17x-review.html

^ the MX17 has as good screen, but I don't know if it is as bright and as crisp as the Qosmio. Granted the MX17 has a better keyboard, heating, batt life, graphics, and RAM option. I don't like that the max ram on the Qosmio is 16GB and cannot be upgraded past 16GB (I've seen a 32GB version on amazon but it is around $2050 which exceeds my budget).

The screen is VERY important for this purchase, however. And I'd rather it be a laptop for business reasons, and to take it to other people's houses to work with them on projects and such.

ALSO: I am very good at modding electronics (I'm an inventor), and I was wondering if it's possible to find a 17.3" LCD with 240hz and just swap out the laptop screens.



Answer
Be it either Eurocom, Sager, XMG, Origin PC or any other vendor, they will probably be selling you the base of a Clevo laptop fitted with the parts that you choose. Sager is the cheapest of them all and pulls it off without compromising on performance.

In your case, you should be looking for the Sager NP9370-3D model which is based on the Clevo P370EM3 chassis.

It outranks the Alienware M17x R4 and the M18x R2 in performance given that you choose the right components to put in. The Sager is sold via resellers thus giving it much better customisation options than the Alienware. However this is not an issue if you purchase an Alienware from a reseller which however is very hard to find and even when you do find a reseller that sells Alienwares, they will be restrained in the otherwise more options they can offer than those that are available on the Dell website. This is because when it comes to Alienware, the extra options are also produced and fitted by Dell and not the reseller.

But the guarantee with a Clevo based chassis is that it will always be cheaper than an Alienware given that both of them have been fitted with similar components. Plus, a Clevo based laptop is easier to maintain and upgrade (Sager allows hardware upgrades with component warranty)

Try it out yourself, go to this website: www.xoticpc.com and build an Alienware M18x R2 and a Sager NP9370-3D with the same (or similar components) and watch the Alienware price climb higher than the Sager by USD 500 - USD 800 depending on what components you select. Why am I comparing the Sager build to the M18x and not an M17x? That's because the M17x is a single GPU laptop and the Sager NP9370-3D is a DUAL GPU laptop. Thus to keep it fair, we need to compare the builds equally to the M18x which is also a DUAL GPU laptop.

People often argue over the difference between build qualities of both brands claiming in most cases that Alienwares are better built however, it is worthy to note that before Dell bought Alienware (and ruined it), Alienware used Clevo as their chassis' whereas now they don't. What I do know is that neither laptop has bad build quality since they need to be strong enough to hold what is inside them in the first place. 17 inches of real estate on a desk requires durability in a laptop as standard. Then again quality is not fact, it is an opinion. This is where many people confuse the better design of the Alienware as an indicator of better build quality. Alienware laptops are very intimidating in their looks and quite frankly deserve the stares they draw from the rest of a classroom/meeting room/office.

You mentioned that you'd rather the laptop for business reasons. The Sager wins in this department since it is very discrete in it's design and you can also choose to remove any branding from the body of the laptop to make it look plain. The Alienware is more ostentatious in this regard with all the obvious lighting and bodywork albeit a beautiful piece of design.

The screen. The Sager NP9370-3D comes with a 72% color Gamut 120hz display as standard. The Alienware M17x R4 does as well but without the Gamut adjustment unless you're buying form a reseller and they provide that service. Also the M17x R4 is a single GPU laptop whereas the NP9370-3D is a DUAL GPU laptop. The Alienware dual GPU laptop, the M18x R2 does not come with 3D capabilities nor a 120hz screen. In terms of replacement, I have not heard of any screen variants for any Alienware laptop on the market nor do I recommend it. Alienware laptops are the complete opposites of there desktop counterparts when it comes to customisation. which means that they do not handle it well. Sager on the other hand has a better track record in custom parts however I have not seen any screen replacement for the NP9370-3D on the market either.

The choice is yours however since Alienware in itself is not a bad choice if you have the money. They are powerful themselves. But my personal recommendation is a Sager NP9370-3D with the Nvidia 680m SLi setup which is more powerful, better value for money and leaves options for future customisation, upgrading (this includes CPU and GPU upgrades apart from RAM) and overclocking.

SUGGESTION ON MID RANGE GAMING LAPTOP?

Q. I want i5 processor (turbo-boost), 4gb ram and 1gb nvidia graphics either gt540, gt555, gt445 or any higher class vedio card.

Price should be between 35000 rs to 40000 rs (india).
I want it latest price in indian market.


Answer
LOL for 'gaming laptop'! And worst is you are looking for a mid range.. To be honest, its pointless to spend on any 'gaming laptop', they are just disappointment in gaming no matter how much you spend on them.. Even the most expensive i7 based 'gaming laptop' can not outperform a much lower priced i3 desktop with a dedicated gfx.. So if ur in gaming, get a capble desktop do not waste your money on 'gaming laptop'.. Its not just the processor and size of graphics card memory that give you perfomance.. Components used in all laptops are crappy and slow so that they can run on that lil power and its a complete waste if you are accepting gaming.

I need some laptop advice?

Q. I am looking to buy a laptop but have found that reviews online are mostly about how how easy it is to use websites rather than how well the laptop preforms.
One I was researching was the MSI GX60 3AE-216US. It is about $1300
but is it worth the price?
And if not, what else is there that gives great graphics and processing for a big time gamer.
This is my selling point. I need to get a laptop soon, (for college) but I have some money saved up because I want a great gaming laptop, not a crap only-microsoft word-laptop. I really want great graphics, but not if they disable performance and cause large lag spikes.
Please help a gamer out. I have been researching for a year, and don't want my money to go to waste.
(I know desktops are better, but I need a laptop so don't suggest desktops, I need something portable because I travel a lot too. On that note weight is no issue and 15" is the smallest I will go in screen size)


Answer
If you are willing to play games at medium graphics quality, then you need these spec:
intel i3 3rd gen 2.4 Ghz, 1GB graphics card avg graphics card, 4gb RAM (at least 1333Mhz speed).

One of the cheapest laptop for this is Samsungs one:
http://www.samsung.com/in/consumer/pc-peripherals-printer/notebook/essential/NP300E5X-S03IN

I'm not sure if this is available in your country though. But, anyways, In India, it is Rs 33000. 1$ =60rupees. Since all laptops are produced in china, assuming same import tax, in your country it may cost you around 550$.

So, you should expect to find a laptop for less than 600$ that give decent gaming experience.

However, if you need Ultra high end graphics (IMHO, I don't realise what is there so much about graphics. I believe good games are the ones that has good story/action and medium graphics withot lag is good enough), then you need these specs:
i7 quad core (some i7 are dual core. Be careful) 3Ghz, High end graphics card with clock speed at about 800Mhz, and 2GB memory- dedicated, RAM of 6gb @1600Mhz clock speed. Rest all is up to you.
This should cost you at least 1300$ as high end graphics card is costly.

For High, not ultra high graphics, go for i7 quad or dual @2.8-3.0 Ghz, RAM 4GB @1600Mhz, medium graphics card (about 500-600Mhz), with 1 Gb memory.
This should cost you around 800-1000$
Go to ebay or other shopping sites and sort out your laptop by ticking the check boxes about the features you want. And select the laptop on the basis of lowest price for given specs.

*Note*
Don't buy appe PC at any cost if you care about "value for money"- mac is overpriced. (performance may be good but not worth the cost)

What is better a computer or a laptop?

Q. Ok so i need a new computer of some sort.

My current one is ancient and as good as dead the speakers don't work my mouse is almost dead and my keyboard is ancient too. I thought getting a laptop would solve a lot of these issues including space issues that i also have in my tiny room.

But then my friend said that laptops cant play computer games (like Minecraft) very good so im starting to wonder what i should get a more up to date tower computer or a laptop (i game a lot)


Answer
You can easily play games like Minecraft on laptops. My friends and I do, all the time. You just need to find a computer will a good processor, graphics card and you'll want one will a lot of memory.
Laptops are great because you can't take them anywhere, but they are definitely not better than a desktop. Computers are a lot more powerful, and are a lot easier to customize. I don't know how old you are, but if your going to college soon or are in college, a laptop will be the best choice, until you get older and settle in one spot.

If you don't mind spending a lot of money.... get a gameing laptop.

-250+ Gb Hard Drive
-Drive Speed of 7200 rpm (there is a faster speed, but it heats up faster, so it isn't great)

Performance difference between nvidia 570m and 580m?

Q. Wondering if there's a huge performance difference between the 570m and 580m mobile GPUs, and whether or not the 580m is worth the $400-odd difference. For the record, the laptop I'm looking at will have 8gb 1600 ddr dual channel with the 580m, or I'd probably bump it up to 12gb if I drop down to a 570m, with a second gen i7 2.2ghz cpu.
sorry, should have been more specific. Of course I'm talking about gaming performance.


Answer
for me the 580m not worth the $400 difference against 570m:
lifespans of laptops arent as robust as pc so if your laptop breaks down it takes some special open heart surgery on your laptop to recover the gpu and use it as spare parts and find a donor laptop to use it.

Check out the articles comparing the two

College/Gaming laptop?

Q. So I'm going to college in the fall, and even though I've read through forum after forum, I can't decide on a good gaming/college laptop. I've seen that Alienware M18x is great, as well as the M17/15x, but the M18x is about 3500, way out of my budget. I'm not very technologically savvy, so don't bother going over the specs of it because I won't understand a word of it. Basically I need something that I can play Guild Wars 2 on, and other such high graphics games, as if I was playing on a desktop, but at the same time, can be lugged around from class room to room for notes. I'm not partial to either Apple or Windows, all I'm really concerned about is price and quality. Please and thank you.


Answer
First off, if you want to game, for the love of god don't get a Mac. They are atrocious for support in most games.

With Alienware, they sell medium range parts for high prices because it's under the brand name, so it looks cool but it blows your budget. :)

You probably want something like
http://www.ple.com.au/ViewItem.aspx?InventoryItemID=611073&CategoryID=312
(Ignore the price, I'm from Australia and everything is jacked up over here).
This one will be cheap, attend to your needs, and probably the same as an alienware. If you're not sure, your local computer shop will also help you as best as you can.

I'm looking for a long lasting laptop, mainly for gaming and music.. suggestions?







I'm looking for a new laptop, my current laptop is an ASUS laptop which was purchased in 2011.. it cost $1300 and it's starting to crap out after only 2 years.. I'm looking for a laptop under $1500 (not from ASUS) that has longetivty and high performance in my price range. I'm also a university student so I need it for word etc. (I'd expect every laptop to have this anyway). Thankyou! Will rate 5 stars for helpful info.


Answer
Microsoft Office is extra software, though laptops generally have Wordpad. Free office suites that are Microsoft compatible are OpenOffice, Kingsoft Office, and LibreOffice

Laptop Reliability:
http://www.rescuecom.com/news-press-releases/computer-reliability-report-2013-Q3.aspx
1. Samsung (694)
2. Apple (259)
3. Lenovo/IBM (250)
4. ASUS (212)
5. Toshiba (69)
6. HP (66)
7. Dell (50)
8. Acer (19)
Asus is normally pretty good. Long lasting laptops generally do not have the strongest graphics because they are the professional models like Lenovo Thinkpads and Dell Vostro
Lenovo Y510p is not bad. Make sure 1080p. It is cheaper
http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/ideapad/y-series/y510p/
There are small discounts for students by entering through a student portal or Barnes and Noble Gold (google them)
There are models that replace the optical drive with a second graphics card module in SLI
There have been touchpad issues, but often gamers prefer to use mice anyway.

Graphics card to gaming:

Samsung Ativ Book 6 can be bought for $1000 at Microsoft Store and Adorama with a 3rd gen Quad core i7 and HD 8770M which is a little under a GT 750M
It has a finicky touchpad, but otherwise rates well.

A 17" MSI has a powerful AMD Radeon HD 8970M, but CPU a bit weak as A10-5750M
http://www.adorama.com/MSIE007US.html?gclid=CJ3Hl_C4z7sCFYN_QgodMQIAig

It is a top 5 in single graphics card performance in a laptop.
The CPU bottlenecks gaming in high need CPU games like Far Cry 3

Also, Battlefield-4, Rome 2 Total War, and any other high CPU need game.
But ones like Battlefield-3 do great

What is a good gaming laptops to get?

Q. I know ASUS and Alienware are supposed to be good, but lately Ive been hearing Alienware is not that great anymore and ASUS certain parts break down pretty fast and their customer service is bad. Are there any good ASUS or Alienwares out now? in the 1,500-1,600 or less range.

Can some people name some good gaming laptops as well as brands, I keep coming across some but then they'll be some sort of error with them.

Memory 8 GB or more with ability to upgrade
Hard drive 750 GB or more
CPU i7 3r d gen.
Graphics Card 2-3 GB or more
Windows
Display 15-17 inch etc.

Although i want a gaming computer i wont be gaming on it much, I just want a gaming computer because they tend to have more memory, and hard drive space etc.

thanks
Thank you both..Alex i had checked that laptop out and i read reviews about freezing and touch pad issues...have you experienced any issues with that? and what yr is your ASUS? are there any others you would recommend?
Also anymore suggestions are appreciated thanks


Answer
The most important factor of a gaming laptop is the graphics processor. The stronger the graphics, the better the gaming unless particularly slowed by the CPU or a ram shortage or other factors.
Video editing needs a lot of ram and a faster CPU. Stronger CPUs and graphics power take more battery power, so if they still have a standard 6 cell lithium ion, a faster laptop has a shorter battery life.
Weight is also a factor in the portability, and many people are more interested in the portability. You get a much more powerful desktop PC with a bigger monitor at the same price as a gaming laptop.
For brand quality and reliability in general, I use the customer survey published annually by PC World magazine. December 2011 is the latest, with this year due out soon.
http://www.pcworld.com/article/244419/laptop_reliability_and_satisfaction_macbooks_rule.html
Although Macbooks are known as more reliable, their price to performance is terrible. They cost a lot for the CPU and graphics performance level, and the OSX operating system has a smaller list of compatible software. Also, Lenovo has 3 product lines; Essential, Ideapad, and Thinkpad. Thinkpads are considered the most robust and best keyboards and have other excellent characteristics, but they do not get high level graphics because they are business systems.

Most laptops have 2 slots for DRAM. 8GB laptops are generally 2x4GB, and that is usually plenty. The graphics ram is more important to be GDDR5 instead of DDR3 type rather than how much ram. The graphics level is important, but the ram can be shared system ram as DDR3 and so having 2 GB dedicated graphics ram is only really good if it is GDDR5 ram. In DDR3, just add it to the system ram.
You can see a reported CPU and graphics score average at this site on two tabs:
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php

One of the bargains in the industry is the Lenovo Y580 at Lenovo.com, but shipments are now delayed and prices were increased. They were perfect during black friday sale with $900 price on what is now $1,039.20. There are a few left at resellers.
3rd Generation Intel Core i7-3630QM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX660M 2GB GDDR5, backlit keyboard, 15.6" screen in 1080p, 8.0GB PC3-12800 DDR3 SDRAM 1600 MHz, 1TB 5400RPM+16G SSD, Blu-ray/DVD-RW, 6 Cell Li-Polymer, 2x2 wireless, bluetooth, HD CAM, HDMI, and a good set of extra features like one button recovery. You would have to wait for delivery. The only thing some people don't like is the screen has glare of overhead or lights behind you, but it has an extra wide color gamat with more accurate reproduction. In stock at Newegg for $1110 is DVDRW instead of bluray and a 750GB with 16GB acceleration SSD:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834310661

The only manufacturers of laptops selling under their own name is Asus and MSI. Laptops are designed and produced by them and Clevo, Wistron, Quanta, Invertec, and a few other manufacturers all in China. The brands are actually just sales and service and procurement organizations doing selection of keyboards, HDDs, LCDs, and other sub-components made by other companies. Lenovo Thinkpad still has design teams some formerly of IBM and a lab for reliability testing in Japan.

At $1210 is an MSI with similar specs to the Lenovo Y580, but in a 17.3" anti-reflective screen, no SSD, and is DVDRW:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152369
You can see gaming performance here:
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Computer-Games-on-Laptop-Graphic-Cards.13849.0.html
If not gaming heavily, there would be no need to spend more as it is mostly only moving up the graphics power. Extra ram over 8+2GB is not very important.
I show the full HD 1920x1080 resolution since you are at the price point to get it.

This is a nice choice at Amazon of a Samsung:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Series-NP700G7C-T01US-17-3-Inch-Laptop/dp/B0098O6FIU
It's only flaw is bluray and DVD player, but does not show DVD writing. It may have it, but does not state it so probably does not. The color is yellow/orange. The screen is a 17.3" extra bright 400 nit. The HD 7870M is a little better than NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M. It has a 1TB HDD. The Samsung brand is a high quality one. It is heavy at 8.4 pounds.

You can browse around, but if you like the color (see it at various sites for sale by google of the model number), and don't miss DVD writing (you can buy an external one), the Samsung is an excellent choice. Just browse around Newegg by looking at laptops sorted by price at 100 per page, and then select at left the i7, and slidebar for 1920x1080, and parameters of GB of ram and HDD. You can also check Amazon, but they are harder to search.

With the article about quality, a site that shows reported CPU and graphics power and another with gaming by GPU and the places to buy being Newegg, Amazon, Tigerdirect, BHPhoto.com
it is just a matter of deciding what suits you.
