What are some of the best gaming laptop for recording minecraft and call of duty videos for youtube?

Layton

I am going to start a youtube channel that plays minecraft, CoD, and Skyrim type games. I was wondering what laptops can handle that on high or extreme settings while recording with about 50-60 fps. Requirements are at least windows 7 home premium 64-bit a 15 in screen, but I would enjoy 17 in more. I mainly want options not just one idea. I don't want a alienware because they are overpriced. I was looking at digital storm and the asus g75vw laptops. Price limit: I would like to keep the price under $2,000. I don't want any macs. Thanks in advance.

Good cheap gaming laptops?

Reborn

This summer I'm going to be getting a summer job and I'm holding off on buying a Xbox One till the price drops and more games release. Meanwhile I'm looking for a gaming laptop that will be able to run Minecraft (Good graphics with possibly mods like Hexit, divine RPGs etc.) Also games like WoW, runescape, and Rift. I also would like to get into the YouTube business on computer. (I'm already a console recorder with my HD PVR 2 GE.) I don't really have a specific price but I just can't pay an outrageous price, so as cheap as I can get. Preferred I'd like a windows 7, but if push comes to shove I can do a windows 8.
I can do no more than $500 I understand if this may not be possible. I mainly want it for Minecraft and Rift. But I'd like room to play other games.
If I MUST do a desktop it would help if you link it.

Answer
The games you have mentioned need certain minimum requirements to play games well without any lag. These games do not have high features requirements and they can be played well with medium features.

I have seen one of a laptop from Dell which is under $500 and good for games which you have mentioned. Here is a review for your help in making decision:

http://whatlaptop.org/good-gaming-laptop-500

You can see that it has good processor of i5, good multitasking ram and decent storage. Also other features are really good which includes its graphics and screen size. They all help in getting good gaming performance. So under the price of $500 it is really good gaming laptop to have,

Gaming YouTube Channel?

Dylan

I am going to make a YouTube channel which I will be doing fifa12 videos with commentary and when fifa13 comes out I'll continue with that,If I get enough views/subscribers then I could make another channel of me commentating on different games,Do u guys know any cheap laptops,Also what would be the best a hd pvr or elgato capture card or if you have any others in mind,With the elgato. You can edit the video bits but do u have to put music onto it by the laptop. Other helping info will be appreciated thx,I'm not gonna use copyrighted music just music that are made from other users like the music that ksiolajidebt gets if u know him.Thx again

Answer
You can pick up laptops for near nothing these days. While the FIFA games have popularity FIFA gaming videos don't get that many views. Although if you make it work then more power to you and I wish you luck. As for recording equipment I suggest haupagge hd pvr. It's expensive but it's true HD and probably the best piece of kit on the market. I get my music from www.newgrounds.com it's copyright free but just to cover yourself mail the creator of the songs you want to use and ask for permission and tell ten you will credit them in the video. They should be more than happy for you to use their music. I edit with Vegas pro but when I started I used AvS video editor. It was easy to use and was a good program.
Best of luck to you and I hope your channel takes off. Add me ad I'll sub bak Jppegasus

what is a good gaming laptop to record yourself and post to youtube?

Matthew

I was thinking if alien ware was a good one?

Answer
Take a look at these rankings:
http://blog.laptopmag.com/best-worst-notebook-brands-2013/3

Here are some gaming laptops, obviously there are other places to look ...
http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/landing_pages/ideapad/gaming-pcs
http://www.asus.com/us/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/Gaming_Products/

Lenovo, Asus, HP, and Samsung are the top 4 laptop brands. I wouldn't consider any other brands.

Dell makes Alienware and they are not worth the money charged.
Acer makes Gateway. You'd have to pay me to use one of their machines.
Sony hardware has generally been good, but they are notorious for putting huge amounts of crapware/bloatware on machines and gathering information on their consumers without their knowledge or permission.
Toshiba has bottomed the rankings. Personally, I have used them and never had a problem, but that does not appear to be the case any more.

What are good specs for a gaming laptop?

Nick

I have a pretty mediocre laptop, and I want to get a new one that works for gaming. What are the specs for a good gaming laptop? I don't want any top-of-the-line laptop that's going to cost a bunch of money. Just specs decent enough to play Starcraft and The Old Republi (when it comes out) without lagging like crazy.

How can i build a good gaming laptop from scratch?

Jaesic

I want to build a good gaming laptop from scratch with at least 2.2 ghz processor (i think its a processor) and a really good graphics card. i am also an editor and my render times are RIDICULOUS with my current laptop.

Answer
Key word right there "laptop". What you should be asking is how can I build a desktop that will allow me to run any game and flawlessly render video faster than I can edit it. And allow me growth room for future hardware.

Then I would drop a youtube link that will teach you all you would ever need to know about building a killer desktop...
http://www.youtube.com/newegg

As far as what you asking a laptop, you will pay 3 times more for a branded name puter that will never be up to a long time/intense task of making videos.

When recording gameplay videos and uploading them to youtube, does a screen resolution matter?

best gaming laptops youtube image

James Cann

I've seen some gaming laptop/desktop with HD screens. Does that really pop out a lot compared to a one with a screen thats not HD but with good resolution?

Answer
'HD' Screens typically mean the actual display itself is a 1920 x 1080 resolution monitor (or higher), nothing else. Since most youtube videos are actually uploaded at 720p or less because of video file sizes, what resolution you record it from will likely not matter because it's sized down. Unless you plan on recording 1080p videos you don't need a monitor with that high of a resolution. Do note that only very powerful systems can handle playing games while recording them simultaneously.

However, simply for viewing, higher resolution monitors can be nice and sharp but also tend to make things appear 'smaller' because there are more pixels on the screen in one area. If you plan on watching blu-ray discs on the monitor, you could go for the higher resolution. Just a thought.

Can i say macbook pro with retina is a gaming pc and designed to everything?

Abhimanyu

I am computer engg. 1st year student and I want to buy best laptop in the world before i go to university
What am i looking fo?:
1)coding
2)web development
3)video(for youtube) and picture editing
4)hardcore gaming(sometimes)
5)compiling and making sofwares
6)slim, beautiful, eye catching
7)watching hd movies

There is only one more laptop which i am considering and thought of buying: razor blade

because i live in India i can't get razor laptop shipped here. Razor doesn't ship outside US and Canada

but my aunt lives in US so i have no prob. in getting it from her.

the only prob. i think razor blade have is? it's just a gaming laptop not a multi purpose laptop. Also, i don't wanna go with Alienware(someone told Alienware is overpriced crap and target kids saying we make THE BEST GAMING LAPTOPS)

I have seen people playing games like skyrim, GTA4, bioshock, crysis3, battlefield3,nfs shift and other graphic intensive games as well. I can't say apple is not a gaming laptop.....but all want to know is will it future games like GTA5 and other running on boot camp. Also, I have heard that mac turns too hot while playing games even dell laptop turns too hot without even playing games.....hahaha but is it NORMAL?

which mac i want to buy:
15 inch MACBOOK PRO with RETINA DISPLAY
2.7GHz quad-core
Intel Core i7 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.7GHz) with 6MB shared L3 cache

plz don't suggest me anything related to money. Cost is not a factor for me.

Answer
The Razer Blade would be the better choice. Macs are not suited for gaming.

If cost isn't a factor, go on eBay and find an Alienware. Despite what people say, they ARE good computers. You just can't buy them from the company directly, it's costly. You're better off buying Alienware-branded items on eBay. Just make sure you can trust the seller.

Macs won't run Crysis 3, BF3, Skyrim, or any of the games you listed. If you installed bootcamp, MAYBE, but probably not BF3.

I'd go with the Alienware x51 personally. It's not a laptop but a console-sized gaming PC. so you will have the power of a desktop and will be able to upgrade it easily, unlike laptops. And if it has HDMI you could easily plug it into any TV or monitor. Again, do NOT buy it on the Dell/Alienware site. You will find better deals on eBay, I got my Aurora R4 for $1700. Had to do some upgrading and plan to do more in the near future but it was an amazing deal versus the $5000 the official website wanted.

You could try CyberPowerPC as well, but this is also a costly option much like Alienware which is why I didn't go with it.

How to convince my parents to buy me a new laptop?

Kamal

Ok so I already have a laptop, but I got it 4 years ago and its crap for gaming, and recently I am getting into gaming. So I wanted to get a new laptop but I don't know how to bring it up to my parents??? I recently got a phone for my Birthday (3 months ago) but about 2 weeks ago I was in the car with my dad and we were talking about macbook pros and he said I could get you one if you wanted and I said yes. We never talked about it since. Anyways the gaming laptops I want are a little cheaper than a macbook pro. Plus I want to start recording gaming videos and uploading them to youtube. I have already prepared a LOT for that. Thanks guys 10 points for best answer.


And they won't let me buy anything with my own money so I can't just go out and buy one, even though I have almost enough.

Answer
Say that your old computer cannot run the newer programs on your computer, and you need a new laptop for studying. As I am guessing that if its 4 years old your laptop, it must be getting pretty slow.
