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.

Gaming Laptop Vs. Gaming Desktop -- Pros/Cons?

Twistedbla

Background: So I'm considering getting a $1,500 gaming laptop come this June. I'll be using it for college coming up so I really needed a laptop as well as an upgrade for my current rig.

Pt. 1: What I'm wondering is what am I suffering in buying a gaming laptop rather than a gaming desktop. List pros and cons.

Pt. 2: Being a hardcore gamer (40+ hrs/week) can a laptop handle my lengthy gaming periods?

Answer
Gaming Desktop:

Pros: Cheaper than a similar performing laptop, upgradeable, newer parts/technology always come out for the desktop first

Cons: Not portable.


Gaming Laptop:

Pros: Portable, can offer same performance as a desktop if you have money.

Cons: More expensive than a similar performing desktop, not upgradeable (except for the hard drive), newer parts/technology come out later than a desktop.

A laptop will never on a battery, handle your gaming periods. If you plug it into the wall socket using the provided charger/AC adapter, you'll be fine, of course.


Unless you plan on gaming on the go, I recommend that you just get a mid-level laptop ($500-$700 US) for college and use the rest of your cash to upgrade your current rig or build a new one.

Portable Gaming Laptop?!?

MK

Hello, I'm trying to find a light laptop that can run computer games on high graphics, I am using an asus g73 right now and it is just to big to be carrying around all day. My price range is between 600-1300$ any help?
The kinds of games I'll be running are SC2, SWTOR, and WoW preferably on the highest graphics

Thanks!

Answer
Toshiba has some nice laptops, so does Asus. Try to find something with a dedicated video card so you are not sharing RAM. 4GB of RAM if you can manage to find one get 8GB. Something in the 2.50Ghz+ range. Good transfer rate on the hard drive is a good thing to.

Quality gaming laptops?

JohnThePyr

I'm looking for a decent quality gaming laptop. Nothing absolutely stunning, I know for instance that I won't be playing crysis at 40 fps on high settings, but something that would perform decently for other games. Something like CoD MW:2, CoD 5, maybe crysis at medium settings. Ect ect.

Normally, I build my desktop units myself. However, I'm going off to college soon, and will need a portable unit. I have absolutely no experience with laptops in terms of construction, so I don't want to risk it.

Anyway, any good recommendations for a gaming laptop, preferably sub $2000 dollars? My top price range would probably be $2500, but I'd like to avoid that if at all possible.

Answer
ASUS G51VX-X2A
ASUS W90Vp-X2

They are all top gaming laptop and should last for quite a long time....

Best sturdy/portable gaming/work laptop?

Sierra

I just want a laptop that's sturdy as hell(like a thinkpad), & Can be taken & used almost any & everywhere. Uses for the laptop are not only gaming, but also work/classwork, photoshop, MikuMikuDance, Steam Filmmaker, music making (i.e. editing, recording, garageband, fruity loops) & artwork related stuff. The types of games I like to play are minecraft, skyrim, pretty much every fallout, etc. I'd say my budget is around $999-$1200(preferably $999 & lower)

I also prefer it having Windows 8

Answer
I know it is Refurbished and everyone is like NO!!!! I know a few people who have gotten Refurbished laptops from Newegg and have had no problems.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834231001

This is one of the better laptops I could find.
It has an average processor, dedicated graphics card(best option for gaming), 8GBs of RAM, and it has Windows 8, plus a 750GB hard drive (should be plenty of storage), plus it is below $999

Best of luck with your laptop search

Portable hardcore gaming laptop?

Jake

I know laptop is automaticly portable, but i meen internet. This is kinda two questions in one, actually. 1. I want a intense gaming laptop to save up for. preferably not huge. like. 15" . and if it could be under 1k that'd be great....2. How can u get internet ANYWHERE you go without having to pay a monthly bill? like a device that i could just pay for one time...

Answer
The Alienware M14x is probably what you are looking for, but you will not get it for anywhere near under 1K. You need to pay to get internet, there is no way around it unless you can steal WiFi... but that's not anywhere is it?

You need a 3G or 4G stick or tethering device to get it anywhere, but it won't be fast enough for gaming and it will blow through costly data like crazy if it was fast enough.

What are the top gaming laptops currently on the market and which one would you recommend?

best gaming laptop portable image

Epix

I am currently looking for a gaming laptop that would be able to play any games on the highest possible settings given while maintaining a high fps. I dont really care if it can play high def or anything i am just interested in its abilities to keep up with all the games on the market. If possible i would like a laptop that is not too bulky but that is not a big issue. Also it would be awesome if someone could list a couple options for me along with the prices for each laptop and their respective specs. thx

Answer
The major brands that carry the top notch laptops are....

ASUS (G74gx series)
MSI (G series, the best is the 780 i believe)
-These two provide the best bang for your buck and the best laptops of those series will play anything on full, BF3, Skyrim you name it.....

Some others are....
Sager/Clevo (which really is a laptop, but its more like a portable desktop with full size CPU's, they are bulky but are ridiculously powerful)
Alienware (i say this only because they have some up to date laptops, most of which cost 3x more than they should, and if you buy one of these people who game will laugh at you. its like buying a lambo for a bugatti price... seriously alienware are overpriced pieces of shit)

Just make sure it comes with a new generation Intel i7 quad core CPU, a 560-580M nvidia gtx card.

The ASUS and MSI's go from 1200-2400 depending on the model
Sager/Clevo is generally 2500+
Alienware sucks

Most of these laptops are at least 17.3" or bigger, so your gonna be buying bulky laptops... the Sager/Clevo's are ginormous as well.

Overall i'd reccomend the ASUS, reliable and not to flashy...

Good Luck, I Personally own a g72gx from ASUS and its great!

EDIT***: not to hate, but please don't listen to the guy below me... i have studied computers and laptop hardware for years, and seriously Alienware's are for little kids who don't know anythign about computers. They'll get your less FPS then a highend ASUS or MSI and cost a shit ton more. Fanboys everywhere beware....

I CANNOT WARN YOU ENOUGH AGAINST ALIENWARE... THEY ARE GARBAGE.... please do not buy one.

What do you think of the Alienware Dell Gaming Laptop?

dan G

I want to get one really bad, but I wonder about the keyboard and mouse setup... I'd probably have to use external keys and mouse. It seems like all laptops, when used for gaming, kind of cramp up your hands and it's hard to both move with the pad and the keys at the same time.

Or is this laptop somehow different, and easier to use for games that require both mouth and keys to play?

Also, how is the performance? Is it worth the money? Can you really have a good gaming laptop?

Answer
One advantage about the Alienware laptop keyboard is that they usually (thought not always) come with the numeric keypad. Also, the keyboards on the newer ones light up. Still, if you're going to be using it for gaming, I would recommend getting an ergonomic keyboard, as it seriously lowers your chances of getting carpal tunnel syndrome, along with an ergonomic mouse. I know that you can't always take them on the go with you, but just using it at home will help. But these laptops were designed to be desktop replacements (which is why they can be a little heavy) so yes they are worth the money for such a powerful and portable machine. The specs are customizable, but many of them are high enough to make a good gaming computer for years to come. They are perfect for gaming.

Need Suggestions for a Good Gaming Laptop to run StarCraft 2?

best gaming laptop portable image

Q. -im looking for a gaming laptop that is somewhat portable ( nothing over 15.6 )
-Will not overheat often
-Will be used for school aswell

Answer
pretty much anything that is not under $400 new or a netbook. blizzard makes their games with very low requirements so there should be no worry. though it dose work both on mac and pc i do recommend a pc for playing starcraft if that is going to be the only purpose for this computer. i would say check out :
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Category/guidedSearch.asp?CatId=17&name=Laptops,Notebooks
or
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Category/guidedSearch.asp?CatId=17&name=Laptops,Notebooks

and these would the specs you have to match up with your computer

*Note: Due to potential programming changes, the Minimum System Requirements for this game may change over time.

PC Recommended Specifications
Windows Vista®/Windows® 7
Dual Core 2.4Ghz Processor
2 GB RAM
512 MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8800 GTX or ATI Radeon® HD 3870 or better

and that can be found relatively cheap at the sights i mentioned around $500-800 anything over $800usd would be overkill for what you want.

also if you like macs and have the cash for em the cheapest mac that can play starcraft is the macbook which is $1000usd might be up there in price but it is well worth it. also used ones go on ebay for $800 for the old (non-unibody) pro but thats not the best place to buy em. basically anything that is not a macbook older then 2009 or a G5 and lower can do it.

Are laptops good for gaming in long run ?

KISALOY

I'm planning to buy a good gaming laptop. I'm crazy about gaming. I use complete games like "Assassin's Creed Brotherhood" in three days. I'm confused about the fact that are laptops good for gaming in long run. I want to play games on my laptop exclusively and offcourse it will have a good graphic memory and other things like a gaming pc. Will it create problem to the laptop like - overheating, hanging etc. ? pc. Will it create problem to the laptop like - overheating, hanging etc. ?

Answer
All laptops have the same problem... they get very hot very quick. Electrical components give off latent heat. In a regular PC, fans push cold air in and hot air out and cases often have a lot of space between components for heat to dissipate. Laptops are designed to be slim and portable which means many components are squished very close together. As a result, heat has nowhere to go. Even the best gaming laptops will eventually fall victim to heating issues. If you got something like a lap cooler that would help but if you are really this adamant about gaming you should probably look into a gaming rig rather than a laptop, even if it is rated for gaming.

You may never get a hangup or a stall due to heat but you will probably get very uncomfortable playing long sessions. Laptops often heat up the most on the bottom and along the wrist pad, both areas where skin often comes into contact with the laptop.
