Decent priced gaming laptops?

Carolyn

I want a decent priced gaming laptop starting from $800-$1400. I've been doing lots of research but many laptops are too expensive & don't look that great. Any suggestions? (Preferably from Sony.)

Answer
Asus has good gaming laptops and also they are going really well. As you have mentioned your budget of under $1400 so there is one good option which has the price of $1364. It is considered to be one of the best gaming laptop as one of the user described it as Awesome PC, Runs Games With Ease. Here is a comment which you can look and decide:

http://www.amazon.com/review/R3ETFK97E8HH41/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00COQIKB4&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag=hawmekm-20

Its features include Intel i7 4700HQ and 12 GB DDR3 which can play any games because of its strong power. It has huge storage with 1024 GB 5400 rpm Hard Drive. It has 17.3-Inch Screen with Nvidia GTX765M 2GB GDDR5. And it has Windows 8 with 3.5-Hour Battery Life.

So all of these factors show that it can be a good choice to go for among others. But if you want to see other options as well then here is a list of laptop which are under your laptops. They are popular ones and usually are good options:

Best PC gaming laptop?

I'm looking for a new gaming laptop (NOT a desktop) that preferably does not cost over $2000 (although a little above that isn't a dealbreaker). Right now I'm thinking about the Alienware M17x. Any other suggestions?
I'm also thinking about the ASUS G75VW. Better than the Alienware?

You can get a good gaming laptop for much less than that....but for $1000 I would recommend anything by Alienware. M14x is a good choice. http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-m14x/pd.aspx

What makes alienware the best gaming laptop and is it worth the money?

best gaming laptops image

Lafla

Or are there better gaming laptops?

Answer
Right now, Alienware (Dell) is the only one I have seen to offer the Core i7 920XM, and Dual Graphics Cards running in either SLi or CrossfireX. But, that doesnt justify the price tag to me.

Dropping some of the specs to match what some other companies are offering, dropped the price by about $2000, but...Other companies are offering the same specs for $1000 cheaper. Don't buy the name...Shop around, configure laptops to be identical (or as close as you can get) and compare the prices...get the best deal for your money. When you configure them to be identical...you really see how much you pay for a name.

What is the cheapest gaming laptop that works good out there?

papasmurfi

I am on a budget and yet want a good gaming computer, specifically for world of warcraft but also for the other usual things. I have narrowed it down to a couple of choices in my other questions, but I have heard bad things about them. Even though they are gaming laptops, they are the less expensive ones so I dont know if they are all that good for gaming. I need answers and help.

Answer
Nvidia 260m GTX - will play anything at decent settings.

Even Cheaper - but GPU is slower.

What are some affordable gaming laptops?

best gaming laptops image

Tomas

My birthday is coming up soon, and I want a gaming laptop. It doesn't have to be specifically dedicated to gaming, but one that can handle them well.

Answer
Gaming laptops (Decent ones) will cost at least $700. Normally $1000...
Battalion has a good laptop for $900.
Toshiba, if you customize it to get the right specs.

Avoid Alienware, MSI, etc. The really big brand names tend to be overpriced

What are the best gaming Laptops that are out right now?

Jonell

I have been doing some research on gaming laptops that can really run through games like Far Cry 3, Bioshock Infinite, Minecraft, MMOs, etc. The only ones that have caught my eye is the Alienware m17x and m18x, and Sager laptops.

If you can recommend some other ones I would really appreciate it.

By the way I am looking for a laptop because I will be moving around for the next couple years so I dont have time for a Desktop, and I'm looking for quality Hardware atleast under $2,500 so thanks in advance.

Answer
As a general rule of thumb, try to avoid Alienware laptops. They are the best gaming experience you will ever have, for about three hours. They they overheat and burn themselves out, leaving you with a somewhat crispy, very expensive paper weight. Try an ASUS laptop, they have several good gaming laptops.

What is a reasonably priced gaming laptop?

Joshua of

My old laptop reaching the end of its life and I am due for a new laptop, and I'd like a gaming laptop (as that is what I do mostly on my laptop now).
I am looking for a reasonably priced one it possible; I do know gaming laptops are more pricy that most. I'd prefer to not spend more than $1500 on one, but if need be I am willing. If you know f a good one cheaper than that that's better!
Thanks in advanced!

Answer
These are all good options:

**Lenovo IdeaPad Y580** (i7-3610QM, NVIDIA GTX 660M, 15.6" 1920x1080 glossy display) - **$949 + tax**
- Sign up and sign in here: http://shoplenovo.i2.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/na/StdAffinityPortal/en_US/Lenovo:EnterStdAffinity?affinity=barnesnoblegold (Barnes and Noble Gold discount page)

- http://shoplenovo.i2.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/barnesnoblegold/StdAffinityPortal/en_US/config.workflow:ConfigureMtmAsItem?mtm-item=:000001C9:00003943: (i7-3610QM, GTX 660M, 15.6" 1920x1080, 1TB 5400RPM + 32GB SSD for hybrid cache) - $1039
- These models come with the 1920x1080 display. There are other models that come instead with a 1366x768 display, but those models are not recommended unless you need the larger text. 1366x768 resolution in a 15.6" display makes things onscreen large, and 15.6" displays that have 1366x768 resolution tend to have very poor image quality due to low contrast.
- Click the green "Activate eCoupon" button in the cart.
- Note: the GTX 660M is not significantly faster than the GT 650M.

**MSI GE60** (i7-3610QM, NVIDIA GT 650M, 15.6" 1920x1080 matte display) - **$1099 no tax**
- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152339 (GT 650M) - $1099
- N82E16834152349 (GTX 660M) - $1199
- Note: the GTX 660M is not significantly faster than the GT 650M.

**Sager NP6165** (i5-3210M, NVIDIA GT 650M, 15.6" 1920x1080 glossy display) - **$920 no tax**

- Select Windows 7 under Operating System if you cannot acquire your own copy for cheaper.
- 17.3" version: www.xoticpc.com/sager-np6175-clevo-w170er-p-4345.html?wconfigure=yes

**Sager NP6370** (i5-3210M, NVIDIA GTX 660M, 17.3" 1920x1080 glossy display) - **$1027 no tax**
- http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np6370-clevo-w370et-p-4796.html?wconfigure=yes
- Select Windows 7 under Operating System if you cannot acquire your own copy for cheaper.
- Recommended: Matte display option.
- Note: the GTX 660M is not significantly faster than the GT 650M.

**Sager NP9130** (i5-3210M, NVIDIA GTX 670M, 15.6" 1920x1080 matte display) - **$1095 no tax**
- http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np9130-clevo-p151em1-p-4340.html?wconfigure=yes
- Select Windows 7 under Operating System if you cannot acquire your own copy for cheaper.
- Downgrade the memory to 8GB 1333MHz, unless you have a particular need for 8GB 1600MHz memory. (Only available on XoticPC configuration page).

**Sager NP9150** (i7-3610QM, NVIDIA GTX 675M, 15.6" 1920x1080 glossy display) - **$1405 no tax** (w/ GTX 670M: $1308)
- http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np9150-clevo-p150em-p-4341.html?wconfigure=yes
- Take note of the GPU options, and note that the stock GTX 670M is available in the cheaper NP9130.
- Recommended: Matte display option.
- Downgrade the memory to 8GB 1333MHz, unless you have a particular need for 8GB 1600MHz memory.
- Note: comes with a colored backlit keyboard unlike the NP9130.
- 17.3" version: http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np9170-gaming-laptop-clevo-p170em-p-4342.html?wconfigure=yes

------------------------------

Note: Another answer here recommended the "ASUS N56VZ-ES71". This model is not a good option, because it comes with a 15.6" 1366x768 display. 1366x768 resolution in a 15.6" display makes things onscreen large, and 15.6" displays that have 1366x768 resolution tend to have very poor image quality due to low contrast. It also has the slower GDDR3 version of the GT 650M instead of the GDDR5 version, but it's still a decent GPU.

The N56VZ is a good option if you buy the N56VZ-RB71 which comes with a 15.6" 1920x1080 matte display, but the N56VZ-ES71 is a bad option.
