Relatively inexpensive gaming laptop?

Xquardoff

I'm going to college in the fall, but I'll need a computer. I want to be able to game really well, but won't be able to lug a desktop all over the place. I'm looking for something decently priced, but I don't care about size or weight, so long as it is smaller than a desktop tower. What amazing gaming laptops would you recommend?

Answer
innexpensive/amazing gaming laptop + 2012 USA economy = nearly impossible

innexpensive/decent gaming laptop = 2012 USA economy = doable

Try looking at your local stores, best buy has some really great deals sometimes, if you catch it at the right time, it might even be under 500-600 bucks.

Dell/Toshiba (if you have the money, alienware) but one of the main things with gaming computers are RAM and Graghics card. If you want a good laptop look for one with atleast 2-4 GB of RAM and a RADEON 6000 series or up or a GFORCE 400 series and up. Find a computer with those specs for the right price and youll be set for college, beer, books, and call of duty is the life if you think about it. (dont forget the hot chicks)

Best cheap gaming laptop?

I want to get a decent gaming laptop that can paly bf3, minecraft, arma 2, dayz...etc... But i only want to spend around $500 any sjggestions?

Answer
Gaming systems do not need the latest bleeding edge technology to give hours of fun and satisfaction. There will be people who are going to claim that you need the highest resolution screen (1920 x 1080) and the fastest CPU and GPU with obscene amounts of ram. They think that by picking all the latest bleeding edge parts and slapping them together makes it all work. Choose what works for you in your budget. A 1366 x 768 screen with a middle of the road CPU, GPU will work just fine. You're not going to be playing the bleeding edge games with bleeding edge technology in the highest settings, but you will be having fun.

This HP can be customized to what you need, Bump the APU and ram for better performance.

Brand buying advise

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. What cost you less today is going to cost you more tomorrow.

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.

Choose wisely.

I would like to buy a gaming laptop to play Battlefield 3 or Black Ops 2 at medium to high graphic settings smoothly.

Answer
You're going to want a desktop. I know that's not the answer you're looking for but all gaming LAPTOPS are like 1000$+ dude. You can build an extremely solid Desktop for 400-450$ and get exactly what you want. If you don't build you'll be looking at 700-1000$ for one and will never be as well made as a custom one.

What are some good and cheap gaming laptops?

12motor

Any good gaming laptop that is under 500$? Please, if you can, list as many as you want/can with links. Thank you.

Answer
Hi there, like almost everyone else you start at the wrong end of things. You want a gaming machine, but I bet you have no idea what is the minimum power you need to run the games you want to run. So first get the info on the games you want, that will tell you the minimum configuration you can use to run that game.
Then you start looking for machines that have that minimum power or more. So, to get any help at all you are going to have to do a little work. Find the configuration you need to have. Then simply either go to the web sites of the computers and look or do a little shopping, see what is out there. Sure you can come here and ask, but so far I don't see that you received much of any help other than 500 is probably not enough.
Good luck and do your home work.

What is a decent gaming laptop as of 2010?

Jack

I am looking to purchase a gaming laptop, in the 1,500 range but spending less would be excellent. I would also be using it for school work and such but I want it to play Triple A title games.

Answer
Asus G73Jh-RBBXX05: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+Laptop+/+Intel%26%23174%3B+Core%26%23153%3B+i7+Processor+/+17.3%22+Display+/+6GB+Memory+/+500GB+Hard+Drive+-+Black/9741729.p?id=1218165344675&skuId=9741729&st=Asus%20G73Jh&cp=1&lp=1
Asus G73Jh-A2: http://www.xoticpc.com/asus-g73jha2-stock-p-2761.html

The difference is the A2 has a 1080p screen while the RBBX05 has a 900p screen. The A2 also has a 2 year warrany + 1 year accident protection if you register it with Asus. There have been issues with GSODs, but apparently the latest updates have fixed that.

Edit:
A couple more to consider

What is the best gaming laptop under 500 us?

best gaming laptops $500 image

Anisur

i want to buy a gaming laptop under 500 us .so help me

Answer
Pure gaming laptops are really expensive and most of them are above $1000 but as you have budget of $500 so it is better for you to see the processor and memory because in the end they decide the performance of a laptop and for gaming they are also really important. There are many available in the market with price of under $500. Here is a list from which you can choose:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_p_36_0?rh=n%3A172282%2Cn%3A%21493964%2Cn%3A541966%2Cn%3A565108%2Cp_36%3A2421886011&bbn=565108&ie=UTF8&qid=1367083186&rnid=2421885011&tag=faowiw-20

For your ease I would recommend Toshiba Satellite C855-S5343 which is of $489 which means it is under your budget and also it has good processor and memory. The technical specs shows that it has Intel Core i3-3110M 2.4 GHz processor with 6 GB DDR3. It has storage of 500 GB 5400 rpm Hard Drive. And it has 15.6-Inch Screen with Mobile Intel HD graphics which can be good for gaming. So this can be one option.

Here is a review from an actual user which will help you in deciding if you think this is appropriate for you.

What is a good cheap gaming laptop?

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.
