Answer
A gaming laptop for that price you will not find.

First of all here is the definition of a gaming laptop;
A 17inch high resolution display
A very good processor such as i7-2670QM or better
A very good graphics card such as GeForce GTX570 or GTX580
RAM DDR3 8GB
Price is usually from $1400 on up.

You could buy a 15.6 inch screen laptop that will do most gaming on medium to even high settings for your price range or a little more, just look here:

What is the best Gaming Laptop for a good price?

Caleb Seeg

I am very unhappy with my laptop, it has been a big disappointment, and I love to do a lot of gaming on my computer like , Sims2, 18 Wheels of Steel, All the Tycoons, Age of Empires, Prison Tycoon, all of them....what is the best kind of a computer? And where can I get it for a good price?

Answer
For gaming you are going to find that a desktop computer is better then a laptop computer. However, this doesn't mean that you can't find a laptop computer that is capable of playing games on.

Spec wise you prolly want at least:

2.0 ghz processor or faster (Intel)
1Gb of RAM (DDR2)
120GB Hard drive (7200 rpm)
128mb video card (nvidia / ATI) since latop this is going to be a little difficult to find since it will be a built in video card.

standard LAN connection (10/100 mb) Gigabit would be best.

You can search Dell or HP for a laptop with these specs.

Newegg and tigerdirect going to be your best bet price wise unless you go with dell.

Best gaming-laptop for the price?

Hugo

I'm looking for a laptop, preferably an ultrabook. It should be able to hande games like bioshock, dead island and absolutely minecraft without lag. It shouldn't cost more than 7000kr (1000$). I realize it will be hard to find a great laptop for that price, but what is the best thing to focus on when buying a laptop when it's for gaming? Could you recommend a computer? Sorry for cluttery question.

Answer
For a gaming laptop, you will definitely need a machine that has a good processor, graphics card and Memory/RAM as well as your screen resolution (ideal screen resolution for gaming =1920_x_1080). For graphics card, you will want to ensure that your laptop has a dedicated graphics card and not integrated graphics.The two best brands of graphics card are Navida and AMD Radeon.
I personally recommend to you based on your budget, the Lenovo IdeaPad Y500. It is simple an awesome built gaming machine and runs the latest games.
It has the intel i7 processor which is an excellent processor (probably the best available for gaming). It also has the NVIDIA Dual SLI GT650M 2GB graphics card which is very good and will work awesomely with that i7 processor. Memory is very essential to a gaming machine- and this gaming laptop has 8 GB DDR3 which is ideal for gaming. The Lenovo IdeaPad Y500 also comes with a 1000 GB hard drive as well as a 1920_x_1080 screen resolution which is excellent.
Comes with built in webcam and microphone as well as wi-fi. Windows 8..
It is sold for $999 >> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ATANUT4/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00ATANUT4&linkCode=as2&tag=cheonlsto-20

You will just not find a better gaming laptop in that price range. This machine has proven t run all those games you have listed below in addition to crysis 3, COD 3, Skyrim, etc

What would be and good gaming laptop and what would be the price?

Jessica

I'm thinking of buying one and I wanna know how much for a GOOD gaming laptop. I already have $310 saved (It was for a new iPod Touch)
Should I even change my mind? Or stick to a Touch? I have the OLD Shuffle and I want a new iPod but I don't know anymore!
Plz help. Thanks :)
I plan on getting more money...lol

Answer
well ailienware are "overkill" gaming laptops. there laptops are 2-3 thousand dollars and can do way more then you need for games, but if you have allot of money, there great computers. if you have a thousand dollars you could look into there min spec configurments. i think its kinda funny that there computer are so expensive, they offer financing on them. i look at one of there desktop, and fully customized to its max it was 14000$.

a good gaming laptop is gonna be around 800$. for gaming laptops, besides custom laptop makers like ailienware, asus is a great brand. they have great quality computer that are very fast and great at gaming (there one of the only brands that have graphics cards in the laptop). there my favorite laptop brand and have great customer service.

for a gaming laptop, you want at least 2.4ghz dual core processor, 3gb of ram and a good graphics card. if you see "graphics accelerator chip" or "graphics chipset" the computer will be horrible at games and you shouldnt buy it.

heres some good gaming laptops at newegg:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220560
as far as gaming laptops go, this is great. it can do almost any game including crysis. its got a very very fast processor, 320 gb of memory and 4gb of ram. with this your set for games, th downside is its 1000$. allitle expensive and the 800$ one below is almost as good.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220564
this one is pretty good at gaming. it can do newer games like sims 3 or gta 4. its 700$

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834146585
heres a great deal. its got almost the specs of the first 1000$ laptop, but its only 800$. it has teh same processor 4gb of ram and 320gb, but its smaller and is a tiny bit slower in some other areas. i perosnally would go with this one.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834107032
here i tried to find you the cheapest one i could, its ok and can do some games, mabey gta 4, and probebly sims 3, no crysis or super high graphics games.

Good Gaming Laptop for Decent Price?

aj f

I was looking for a good but cheap gaming laptop since mine is a little...outdated on pretty much everything. I was looking into the Alienware laptops but $1000-$1600 is a little more than i can afford right now. I would like advice for getting a laptop that has an impressive amount of power for its price; maybe in the $600-$800 range.
I was looking at that awhile back. I mainly just look at the Processor and speed, RAM, graphics card, and HDD space.

Answer
This is the main one that I can really recommend within that price range for you is this one:

**HP DV6t** (NVIDIA GT 650M, 15.6" 1920x1080 matte display) - **$749 + tax**
- Saved Configuration: http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/load_configuration.do?destination=review&config_id=7674563
- Apply coupon code **NB7453**
- Don't downgrade the GPU to the GT 630M or to Intel HD 4000 graphics. The GT 650M is considerably faster than either, and if one of the lower GPU options would work just as well for you then I would probably suggest getting an entirely different laptop.
- Don't downgrade the display to 1366x768. The 1366x768 display makes things onscreen large, and is a low-grade LCD panel with very poor image quality due to low contrast. The availability of the upgraded 1920x1080 display is part of why I'm recommending this laptop; I wouldn't be recommending this laptop if it didn't offer it.

Some of the things you're focusing on really shouldn't be priorities. Not in general, and particularly not under $800 when there are more substantial issues at stake. This hits the two critical points that you need to be focusing on, in that it has a decent GPU ("graphics card") and a decent display, and it hits those two points well.

The GPU is what matters for game performance. Game performance depends considerably more on the GPU than on anything else. If you're interested in game performance, what you need to be focusing on is the GPU, not the processor/RAM/etc. The GT 650M in the HP DV6 should be more then enough to run a lot of recent titles on decent settings.

The display is a critical issue in general, because a lot of laptops don't come with decent displays. 15.6" 1366x768 and 17.3" 1600x900 displays make things onscreen large, and tend to be low-grade LCD panels with very poor image quality due to low contrast. You should make a point to avoid displays like this when it is reasonable to do so, unless you require the larger text for eyesight-related reasons. The HP's 15.6" 1920x1080 display is well above this though, not just in resolution itself but in contrast/quality too.

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

I couldn't really recommend the Acer V3 listed here in another comment. While it does come with a slower GT 640M GPU, that GPU is still decent. What isn't decent about the laptop is its 17.3" 1600x900 display.

Gaming Laptop, no price rate?

Jo�o V

I don't understand a lot about it, but I think I can buy a laptop already, so that's what I need, tell me the product with the price

OS: Windows 7
Processor: 3GHz or more, I liked the E8400, that has 3.16GHz
RAM: 4GB can do for me
Graphics Card: I want a really good one, I was thinking about NVidia Geforce 9800 GT
HD: I dont need that much, 350GB would do it for me

So guys, I dont know if I'm going to use all that, and if there's even a laptop with those configurations, so tell me what you think, some games I want to play are:

Dead Island, Heroes of Newerth, Batman: Arkham City, Assasin's Creed: Brotherhood, Dead Rising etc, thanks

Answer
You admitted, you don't know much about it...

First mistake:
The GHz speed of a processor don't matter unless similar generations, type and model processors are compared.
let's take your old one: Dual Core (meaning 2 processors in one) at 3.16 GHz
any quad core (4 processors in one) would be better even if only at 1.8GHz
See what I mean?
********************************************************

For $800 here is good laptop that will run all those games:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834246151

Here is what to look for in a laptop:



The brand (HP, Toshiba, Dell, Sony, etc) does not matter all that much, it's the features of the components inside that matter the most. All laptops and parts are Made in China anyways.....

Get an Intel Core i5 or Core i7 CPU (Processor). DO NOT GET AMD OR PENTIUM processors.

Get at least 4GB of DDR3 RAM Memory, 8GB RAM is best but will cost extra.

Make sure it has dedicated graphics (a Graphics Card or GPU) of at least 1GB. It should say either nVidia (GeForce) or Radeon (ATI) on the graphics.

An nVidia GeForce GT 520M or better would be perfect for regular use with some moderate gaming.

DO NOT GET Integrated Graphics (on board or from processor) - if it says Intel Graphics or Intel HD Graphics than it's Integrated graphics.

While SSD hard drives are best and fastest, they are way too expensive and small in size (64GB to 256GB), thus not recommended for a laptop, where you only have a single hard drive installed.

Get a normal, spin hard drive of at least 500GB (1TB or more is better, but will cost more). Seagate hard drives are the best, the WD Caviar are also OK.

It should have incorporated Webcam and Microphone on top of the screen (most laptops have them nowadays).

Make sure you have at least 4 USB ports (if one or more are USB 3.0 all the best, but USB 2.0 are OK).

The Firewire (IEEE 1394) and the e-Sata ports are good to have, but not mandatory.

At least a DVD/CD writer drive. A BD (Blue Ray drive) is more expensive and not necessary.

Of course you want WiFi (wireless) and ethernet connection.

Make sure it has at least an 8 cell battery (10 cell is better but cost more). This will ensure better battery life, both between charges use and overall battery life.

Get the Windows 7 Home Premium operating system. Do not get Windows 7 Starter or Home Basic.
