help me choose my gaming laptop
metro.:
I haven't read any of the other posts, but a gaming laptop?
Lol. That's cute.
Nyking754:
i looked at sager and it seemed to be really good
was able to make a laptop with really nice specs and a 17" screen
only problem is if the case is cleanable and if the website is reliable
Saras:
Don't have one myself, but I heard a lot of people praising them and Sager/Clevo reviews seem to always score well above the acceptable range. Though, as I understand it most get their's via xoticpc.
NeonFlame:
I've heard good things about Sager too. I know someone who has one, it's been faithful and lasted really well.
I had an Asus for a few years (well I still have it but it's out of date so I don't use it anymore) It was a decent machine, the nice thing about Asus is that they give you a 2 year warranty where most other places only give you a 1 year warranty.
Are you basically looking for a portable desktop for said "gaming rig"? Or are you going to want to do other things with this thing.. like say be able to run for more than 45 minutes without being plugged in (when you aren't gaming of course). Because that's the biggest problem with a laptop with a 17 inch screen.. you aren't going to get much battery life even if you have all of the settings turned down really low.
Of course, if the ONLY thing you're doing with this is gaming, and you plan on always being plugged into a wall, battery life isn't really going to matter..

That is no longer true. Due to integrated graphics, most modern 17 inch laptops can offer around or over 3 hours of functional work. If you intend to game it will go back down to 45 minutes.
