What's a good gaming laptop for under $750?

Tommy

I want windows 8 and not refurbished with an Intel processor.

Answer
Hello,

It's not the matter of good. Because what I play, you might not.
It's the matter of the games you want to play, and getting the game preferred spec's will provide you with that information, then you can cross reference to a laptop that you will need. Thus the price.
So you will be going online to find out these spec's then finding one. Else you can go to a place like Best Buy and tell them what you want to play and they will lead you to what you need. But make sure their a gamer first!
And depending on the laptop, you can upgrade the DDR (RAM) and HD (hard drive) to a SSD (solid state drive) if/as needed.
Not trying to be mean, but there is no gaming on the cheap. In the end you will get what you pay for.
No BS, just giving you an honest and straight answer.

Gaming Laptop around $750?

nicholas

I want to be able to play crysis 3 and BF4 when it comes out.

Answer
If you're looking to get the most for your money then don't get a laptop, get a desktop, laptops are terrible games machines, hard to customise, overpriced, prone to overheating, and far more expensive to ugrade (whether graphics, storage or cooling). My advice is to avoid buying from highstreet vendors like PC world or Currys, and to buy a desktop tower PC from a real computer website like http://www.cclonline.com/, (or US equivelant) CCL also have sections containing only gaming PCs, it'll tell you what all the specs are and what games it can run. $750 is about the same as £500, and for that money you can get a decent gaming PC
Hope I helped

Buying advice

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.

Tablets are just toys to me. They can not handle the work load like Laptops and Desktops and do not have the storage capacity you will end up needing.

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.

What is the best gaming laptop model from ASUS?

best gaming laptop 750 image

Jonathan

The site doesn't show any price at all for Asus gaming laptops. So i did my research and i believe that the best one they have is the Asus G74SX 3D model. Is this true? If not, can anyone please tell me the best one they have. Thank you!

Answer
Asus G74SX 3D is good laptop It is worth buying

Asus G74SX 3DE laptop arrived within 48 hours.

The unit has changed from its predecessor with better venting. The 3D Blu-Ray is most excellent indeed. The hard drive array of two 750 GBs with about equal partitions among 4 partitions is intelligent and a great boon over the older laptop that this replaces. The VRAM of Nvidia 560M is fantastically powerful and actually is faster than desktop Blu-Ray units. The Nvidia 560M has 3GBs of power. The LED screen is very brilliant and crystal clear. This certainly is another cutting edge improvement over the former stealthy laptop. The former never had 3D capability. This model has twice the graphics power too.

How much money do you reckon my laptop could sell for at the most?

Sam

Just as a note, this isn't a gaming laptop. Just an ordinary office laptop. It's been used for about 1 year and a half, not very frequently though. The keyboard has been damaged once, but it was taken to the manufacturer about 2 months ago; it came back with a completely replaced keyboard as well as a BIOS upgrade.

The laptop has a 750 GB HDD, which should be enough for a huge amount of photos, videos and also able to hold a lot of programmes without lagging. To help, it's got 6 GB of RAM, which is surprisingly huge for an office laptop. The graphics are integrated but good enough to play regular games like Diner Dash (it can also play the first few expansions of World of Warcraft), not advanced ones like Battlefield or FarCry. But, do not worry about the graphics card if you're looking for a laptop to use for editing, or just daily working or socializing. The processor is the Intel Core i5-2430M running at 2.4 GHz. This is a really good processor.

The colour of the laptop is red, a bit dark but not very. It has Windows 7 on it so you won't have to worry about getting an OS disk. It comes with its charger in the box that the manufacturer provided after its repair; otherwise it comes in a plain box, but it will be protected so it isn't damaged during travel.

How much do you reckon my laptop could sell for at the most on eBay?

£'s please.
