best gaming laptops small image
Q. I would like to buy a cheap, good gaming laptop. Preferably below 500 euros. Any suggestions? It also needs to be available in PAL regions.
Answer
Cheap and gaming are somewhat opposites in the computer world. You get what you pay for. Laptops are not necessarily the best for gaming, the reason being that as games get bigger and more complex your computer starts hitting the wall for speed and performance. Laptops are designed to be small and portable, to do this they have limited what the computer is capable. You lose the upgradability, the thermal solution, smarter power consumption and cheap parts. When choosing a laptop, your going to be looking for a good manufacturer since it is through the manufacturer the computer can be easily fixed and upgraded. Dell is a large company that has good support as long as you keep your warranty, however they have their reputation for cutting corners and low grade. Toshiba is a good company, although they tend to have slightly higher prices.
When shopping for your laptop I would rather suggest looking for computers within your budget, within your desired performance, and then research the reputation of the manufacturer.
Now days a good computer runs at about these specs
3.0 GHz Dual Core (I only shop Intel but that is a matter of preference and opinion)
4Gb of fast ram RAM
100 GB HDD (This is actual storage space, bigger the better but that is counter intuitive with laptops)
Windows 64 bit (With out the 64 bit version you lose the ability to use better hardware and are limited to only 4gb of ram with 32 bit version)
Make sure the laptop has a good thermal solution, if the manufacturer mentions it has a focus on thermal, that should be enough (most ignore it)
That should be all you need to know, ultimately I recommend building a desktop for all of the pros that a laptop doesn't have. Desktops allow you to build your own computer, and at your own price. Usually this is more expensive than buying from a manufacturer but you have the ability to upgrade and swap out parts as you see fit.

I want to buy a cheap gaming laptop and want to know which one to buy?

I want an inexpensive gaming laptop. I have not purchased a gaming computer before and want one to use when I am away from and at home as I share a desktop with my family. I was wondering which one to buy (I would use it for WoT LoL minecraft TF2) and I don't know much about computers, thanks!
Answer
I bought a cheap Acer Aspire V3-551-7844 model for $399 about a year ago. It works well for gaming, and it great for browsing the internet and it does everything quite quickly. Compared to the other computers for the same cost, it comes with more things than other comparably priced laptops. There is probably a newer model of it that you can look for that may be the same cost as when I bought this.
This computer came with a 2.7Ghz CPU that speeds up to a maximum of 3.2 Ghz when needed.
The graphics are good. For things like Minecraft you will have no problem playing it.There will be no issues running Minecraft on the highest settings. I actually have been playing Arma 2, and Arma 2 works fine but on low-medium graphics settings it runs best. In single player Arma 2 runs fine in the medium/high graphics. The Elder Scrolls Skyrim, works nicely and is just as good as when I had my old Nvidia 8800GT 512mb graphics card on my desktop. Hitman: Absolution runs very nicely on the medium/high graphics. You can play the Bioshock and it looks very nice, and Mass Effect games also. It just runs graphics well for a $399 computer that is 1 year old lol.
6 Gigabytes of DDR3 RAM (and you can have up to 8 Gigabytes total) I bought 4 Gigabytes of RAM and got it up to 8 Gigabytes which helps to make it a little bit quicker.
It has a large 750gb hard-drive.
It has a 15.6 inch HD LED LCD screen which is not too small or too big.
IT has Bluetooth which is handy,
You can probably find a newer version of this computer since it's like a year old now. This has an A6-4400m model processor...If you can get an A-10 series processor and a higher graphics than the ATI Radeon HD 7520g , perhaps something in the 8000's or higher etc that would be nice. But if you do that make sure it has at least 6gigs of RAM and a big enough hard drive for you.
Anyways I'm sure you can find something like this to play games on. AMD are usually better than Intel and Intel doesn't always have graphics that can do anything more than play movies so AMD is usually a safer bet unless you get an Intel laptop with somesort of decent Nvidia graphics inside.
Good luck!
