I need a Gaming laptop 2012?

Mike Raws

Hello! I'm going back to the US and I've saved money for a gaming laptop!
I'm going to be buying it June-July, so I have time to think about it.
Any suggestions? NO ALIENWARE!
Anything under 2.1 grand (USD)

Answer
The next thing that is close to gaming alienware is the Dell XPS 15 X15L-1024ELS gaming laptop. This is a truly awesome computer. For starters, it's without a doubt the fastest laptop I have ever used. I can literally hit the button to turn it on and be online within 1 minute. It never lags or slows in performance, even when handling 5 or 6 tasks at a time. All of the features on this laptop are state-of-the-art. The speakers truly stand out, they are the best sounding laptop speakers I've ever heard, bar none. Also, the camera on it records in 1080p so you can get some really good quality video just using what comes stock. This is a solid machine that is well worth the price. I strongly suggest it to anyone looking for a state-of-the-art laptop.

If you don't like it, just use the specs from the page as your foundation and go from there.

Good luck on finding your gaming laptop.

Need gaming Laptop advice for playing wow at its best?

Mike

Hi I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on find a Gaming Laptop that would be able to play WoW with the highest video settings up and still get at least 40fps in cities and raiding instances.
I'm thinking of spending about $1200 or so for it, as long as it runs wow smoothly(like close or even at its highest video settings) I might go up with the budget.
I really prefer a Laptop because I travel most of the time and I would like to have access to my personal computer where ever I go.

Answer
I purchased a gateway P-6860FX gaming laptop from Best Buy in July 2008 for around $1200. It's a great laptop that hasn't let me down at all; plays all games on high or maxed out at 1440x900 (screen's native resolution). It's a 17inch notebook.

I recently came across a best buy exclusive notebook made buy Asus, the G50Vt-X5. at $899 this is a GREAT bargain for the features that it comes with. You can save the cash for other games or even accessories for your new laptop. Check the link for the list of features. It's a 15.6 inch notebook, so it's a bit more compact/portable than my 17 inch gateway. So far is has received excellent reviews. I think you'll be playing WoW without any problem whatsoever, with all settings maxed out.

Don't go with dell; their gaming laptops are way overpriced and cannot match the specs you'll find with other laptops, such as the ASUS or even with the newest gateway FX models.

Best Upcoming editing and gaming laptop laptop for 2011(After Summer)?

Philip

I'm looking for a good laptop that can play games at about medium high settings and edit video footage. I have about 1100$ that I can spend after this summer maybe a little more. I was hoping I can buy a pretty good one on black Friday but I'm not sure how that work with laptops. I was looking at the m14x in alienware but not sure about the price tag on it(Can Black Friday help?). If anyone has any good suggestions feel free to help thanks. =)

Answer
aliewares do not go on black friday discounts

you can NOT get even close to "best upcoming editing and gaming laptop for only 1100 US dollars. Dell precisions, alienwares and falcoln northwest can run 3-5 TIMES that amount.
You CAN get a VERY good one though. There are some terrific bargains. At 1100, I'd be looking at XPS, asus, quosimo,

You are smart to wait as long as possible. MOST companies will have a product refresh in june and most companies put sales on latops during july/ august.

You can get good deals on black friday, but most are on ENTRY level systems, not "entrtainment" class or "gaming" class computers.

Good luck!

A laptop for people who hate laptops?

blindflack

Looking at buying a high performance laptop to replace my desktop. Will use external mouse, keyboard and monitor while at home. Am I going to be happy with it, or should I just keep my desktop? I've always thought laptop keypads and touchpads were useless for real work and never found their performance worth their portability. Suggestions for a durable user friendly laptop? I'm looking at Asus right now.
A Mac won't be a possiblity because I'll use it for gaming....real gaming.

Answer
I'm off to college soon and as much as I want to build my own desktop, I definately need the portability of a laptop to bring back and forth my stuff during vacations. I too don't really like doing regular work or gaming on a laptop's keyboard and touch pad, I don't really like using the screen either, so I will be bringing a wireless keyboard/mouse as well as an LCD monitor to supplement my use while in the dorm. Im not saying I dislike everything about the laptop, it's definately useful to bring around since it's portable.

I've set my sights on a sweet Sager NP2090. Don't let the unknown brand name fool you, they have been here for a while making laptops. What you don't know is that manufacturers like Dell, HP, Alienware, Compaq, etc all use the same parts from the same manufacturers as lesser known companies like Compal, Clevo, Sager, Quanta, PowerPro, etc. All the big names company do is put them together and slap an enormouse price tag. In fact, companies like Compal and Quanta produce more than half of the world's laptops. That's more than Dell, HP, Compaq, Alienware and the other brand's that you've ever heard of, COMBINED.

Check this out, the Sager NP2090 comes standard with 2MP webcam, biometric fingerprint reader, 4 in 1 card reader, a glossy exterior, wifi card, and lot's more. The one I'm getting is a gaming beast: Intel Core 2 Duo Centrino 2ghz, 1GB DDR2 RAM, nvidia 8600GT 512MB video, combo DVD dual layer burner, 80GB hdd, 9 cell battery (4hr + battery life), 3 year labor 1 year parts warranty. Heres the kicker, all this for $1135. If you decide to order this laptop be warned, it's a popular one among incoming college student's this summer so expect to wait until mid-late July to actually get the laptop.

Order from either www.xoticpc.com or www.powernotebooks.com. Both retailers have excellent prices and have the BEST customer service. Any questions, they will answer in person, either through email or phone, your choice. They will update you every step of the way about your order until you receive it. By the way, did I mention you talk to a real person?

Of course, you don't have to choose this particular model, it's just the one I want but you would be very happy with it as well. Good luck!

what is a good moderate gaming laptop for a cheap price?

R

my birthday is in july and i want a laptop that is perferably less than like 600 that can run games like modern warfare 3 and black ops 2 when it is released. I really would like to get the project fiona tablet but i don't think it will be much. If you can please give me a link preferably from walmart or best buy

Answer
HP g7-1310us will be the best thing you can get for that price for gaming. The Windows Experience Index awards this laptop with a score of: 5.7 which is determined by the lowest subscore (Graphics: aero performance on a desktop but Gaming graphics has a score of 6.3!), it is good considering that this laptop doesn't have a dedicated graphics card.

See the pictures of this 17.3" beast with more details here

Happy early birthday.

Is there any equivalent to this laptop and for a similar price?

best gaming laptops july image

http://www.gateway.com/systems/product/529668231.php The price on Best Buy is $1089, so is there any equivalent to this laptop?

-Gaming laptop too
-Can play the Sims 3 smoothly at Max settings.

Answer
Not a bad price for a nice mach.. A # of retailers are going to start tossing in a free upgrade to windows seven sometime this coming week so you might want to check with them on that. & I suspect you will find some nice deals on Price Grabber if you were to watch that for awhile as well as some good deals as the 4th of July holiday draws near.

Still its nice & if that is what I wanted I would likely accept that price.

What are some graphics cards that are compatible with my computer?

Bkk

My computer is an HP Pavilion a1240n. Yes I know, its an old computer, but im just looking to do some gaming on low graphics till i get my college laptop, which is in july. I upgraded my power supply a while ago so its 300w now. So, what are some graphics cards that will work with my computer? My budget is around 60-70 dollars

Answer
Yes, it very old and before PCIex slots were used for graphics cards. I believe that particular HP model used the ASUS PTGD-LA motherboard and came with 128MB of integrated graphics. Details here: http://www.pcupgrade.co.uk/productdetails.asp?ProductID=8892&categoryid=260

It is an unusual motherboard as it has only PCI slots and no AGP slot [required for a decent standalone graphics card]. There are some older PCI graphics cards available but the only one I can find in USA that might offer any performance upgrade is a 256MB card with the old ATI 9250 chipset, for $50 here: http://www.amazon.com/Diamond-Stealth-256MB-Video-S9250PCI256/dp/B000B74H10/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327955229&sr=8-1

I don't know what performance you will get with games though, as it is so old [but you did ask]

Also, does it matter what size the video card is?
mb wise?

Answer
You can get any graphics card you want as long as it is a PCI slot graphics card. Make sure it is not PCI Express, just PCI. It should work just fine. Also, since they're so outdated they should be pretty cheap.

Here's a page of them.

It doesn't really matter what size, but understand that more MB of memory is better. You're going to want to at least have more than 128MB to see any improvement beyond what you currently have. GOOD LUCK!

Since youâve got a pretty good idea of what youâre looking for in a laptop, Iâd recommend checking out this new application from Microsoft called âLaptop Scout,â which you can find at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-laptop-scout/default.aspx. You go to the site, enter in what youâre looking for in a laptop (and your budget), and itâll point you towards some potential matches.

Gaming Bos

Im a gamer and Im looking for a gaming laptop at its finest. I have heard about alienware m18x and asus g75vw but Im not sure which is is the best and please don't complain about the prices of alienware because I can handle it, and tell me the best because I really need a new gaming laptop!

Answer
alienware is overpriced you can go here and get the same specs for cheaper:

http://www.xoticpc.com/custom-gaming-laptops-notebooks-gaming-laptops-ct-118_96_98.html

i'd recommend something with a full 1080p screen and a high end graphics card. Like:

http://www.xoticpc.com/msi-gt60-0ne220us-eta-july-p-4791.html

or

http://www.xoticpc.com/asus-g55vwds71-p-4322.html

both are cheaper then a alienware and should be able to handle pretty much everything. Oh as a bonus with the money you save you can get a big screen TV an hook it up to it or build a desktop for home.

How can I go about finding a company, or someone to raise money or donate a computer to someone?

best gaming laptops july image

Shelby

My husband has Cystic Fibrosis, he is almost 24 years old and he was given about a year left to live in July of 2012.

Since then he has been trying to make a bucket list of sorts, things he wants or needs, or just would like to have before he passes. He has been an avid video gamer all his life due to his illness, he was never really able to go outside and play, and as he grew up it just got worse and worse until he's almost completely bedridden. So he has always found solace and happiness in being able to play video games, mainly PC games. I want to be able to buy him a desktop and a laptop for when he has to be admitted to the hospital, and he has to stay for a minimum of 1 month, usually more. This is the only dream he can realistically achieve due to the severity of his illness at this point. (His lung function is less than 18%, he cannot move around much without getting severely out of breath)

He was offered to make a "wish" to the Dream Foundation a few months back, but after all the hype, they haven't really been responding to him anymore, so we're starting to feel that it's a lost cause with them.

I definitely do not have the money to buy the gaming laptop/desktop that he needs, even if I were to save every extra penny, it would take more than a year and it could be too late by then.

So I would be so grateful if there is any information on any computer companies or the like, or any sort of foundation or fund that would be able to do this for him quickly, and not take 5+ months. We would be able to provide proof of his condition, doctor's letters etc as well.. Thanks

Answer
Contact the Elfin Society of GE. They are constantly donating Computer Equipment
Or contact YOUR Church and have them solicit the Gates Foundation, Game Stop, Best Buy and so on..
Also try your local library. Gate foundation is always donating new ones to libraries and olds ones are given away.
