Gaming laptop suggestions?

Fat Spider

Hey, I've been trying to convince my mom on buying me a new laptop. However, she seems to be only looking at nothing more then $900. She really wants me to get a compact or HP but I think alien ware would be better (though not completely sure). I'm a heavy gamer, but I also need some side things for school and simply internet stuff. Any suggestions?

Answer
Alienware, as a general rule, is overpriced. For a good gaming laptop, Iâd go with Falcon Northwest, Asus or Sager (which makes most Alienware laptops, amusingly).

Iâve heard good things about this store: http://www.powernotebooks.com/index.php3

Edit: Like Matt Smith said below, go with a desktop if you can. Way better performance for your money.

Sager gaming laptop compared to...?

Q. What is the sager gaming laptop compared to Asus and Alienware? I've heard its a very good gaming laptop brand that is cheaper and has better performance, is this correct? The one I'm looking at is 1600 bucks, 400 dollars cheaper then the M18x Alienware.

Heres the link.....if you have prior knowledge of computers, take a look and tell me what you think of the specs and if its a good gaming computer.

(I play the following games: Fallout, Counterstrike, WOW, Runescape, Minecraft, Terraria, Garrys Mod, Dirt 3, GTA 4, Crysis 2, Oblivion, Civilization 5, Sims, Call of Duty, etc. Would the laptop be able to run all of these games with good fps?)

Answer
For gaming i would still go for alienware its the best gaming laptop for me but this sagger laptop is good enough. Alienware is made for gaming but its really expensive. I think you can run these games on your sagger laptop it has enough specs for gaming and its also cheaper than alienware. If you want you may use a desktop computer its easier to assemble and to upgrade

Nikilus

I would like to play games like battlefield 3, call of duty, fallout, skyrim, hopefully battlefield 4 when its released, and new released games all at high or even ultra. If anyone could link me to a nice Laptop that can meet my requirements. i need help i have looked all over but cant really find anything of use i have no idea what specs i need to look for. help please. Thanks in advance.

Answer
For 1,000 you might find a few laptops that will run your games at high settings, at ultra maybe but at 30 or so FPS (frame rates per second). Check out the MSI G series laptops or the Asus ROG laptops they're nice but prices are around 1,200. You might find them cheaper if you look around. But anyway heres the link to an Asus ROG laptop and the MSI G series site.

Best gaming laptops/desktops priced around $1000?

Answer
Im not going to waste your time and my own by bashing hp, acer, and dell. We all know they are terrible quality, and put quantity over quality. I bought a Gateway Fx two years ago. The laptop still plays COD MW2 at max settings. The current models are around $1100. But you get what you pay for. It has an amazing video card for a laptop, fast processor, high ram, and best of all its tweaked to play games. It was not made to be a throw around college computer. It is by far my best buy. Acer bought Gateway buy thankfully they have stayed hands off. Remember with dell, hp, and acer: Cheap computers means cheap parts, Cheap parts mean crap computer with a short life. I would stick with Gateway,Asus, or Toshiba. Alienwares have become dolled up dells. You would be amazed of how many corners they cut now. A simple thing as a wire going bad will cost your 8 x its actual cost. So much for not basing other brands. Again I have had nothing but perfection from my Gateway Fx.

Btw things to look for: at least 4 gigs of ram. Preferably NVIDIA and INTEL (not amd and not Ati) Hd with speed of 7500rpm and of course a motherboard mad to handle the stress. Following these things you cant go wrong. (unless you buy a hp or dell (in which case you will find how much a manufacturer can destroy great hardware with poor design and manufacturing.)
