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:

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,
