Need a good Gaming/HT laptop

<< < (2/3) > >>

Saras:
For that kind of budget, I'd suggest looking at custom Sager/Clevo laptops or recustomed MSI GE70s. The sager ones look more professional and are the best bang for buck available for what concerns gaming laptops. The MSI sounds better, but comes with the "gamer" styling, that looks as if it was designed for 14 year olds.

For 2 grand, you can get an NP9170 with an i7-3720qm and either a 7970m or a 675m/680m(If you cut back on other stuff) and an ssd alongside your normal drive. Also, their laptops are actually upgradeable. If you fry your gpu or the cpu or whatever else again, chuck it out and replace it with another one.


Samsungs are good. But that laptop isn't worth it's price tag. As for the Lenovo above, stay clear from E series. It's Lenovo's budget solution and build quality is a lil bit iffy. The Y series is the closest thing they have to gamer laptops and if you want to cut your budget by ~$800, get the Y580.

Well the above about the E-series being shit is total bogus. It's a lot better built than the other laptops in same price category, and it works really good(I know, as I have one). And why is the E-series not a good gaming laptop? I know it's not the cutting edge(even though very near to that), but who would want a laptop that has cutting edge gaming tech? It costs shitloads of money and has heating issues. If it needs to have the absolute best hardware, then laptops are not a very good investment, because it will be cheaper to get a good desktop pc and a moderate laptop...

Saras:
I'd imagine it's better built than a lot of laptops in it's price range, after all, Lenovo's background is in business laptops. While it is leagues ahead of say HP Pavilion, it's still isn't Lenovo's best.

Also, if you didn't notice. He's asking for a $2000, basically cutting edge laptop.

heittopussi:
I did notice the 2000$$$$$ price tag, but even so I'm offering a better(in my opinion) solution, as it seems that the guy/gurl is not so familiar with the current hardware and prices. But okay, let's put it this way: if Battlefield 3 needs to run on ultra high settings, get a 2000$ laptop, if not, get a cheaper one and use the remaining money to something else, like games, anime and manga :)

And as I mentioned earlier, I just bought a lenove e530 and sold my cutting-edge desktop pc, and I have no regrets. 1080p anime and movies work well, and all the games I play work like a dream. Since personally I think that 2000$ laptops are a ripoff for anyone else but a tech-geek ^^

kitamesume:
for gaming refference, an i3+GT620m level is entry enough for 1360x768 res low gaming, for optimal settings you'd need GT555m/GT650m level.
CPU prowess doesn't affect FPS that much once you've stepped onto a certain boundary.

edit: on second thought, almost anything trinity can play, so might wanna opt with that, since they tend to be much cheaper as well. with the initial kit being cheaper you'd get to up the few specs that does contribute to performance, aka higher speed rams(higher FPS for IGPs) and SSDs(faster loads).

so an A10 + 2000mhz sodimms(if those exists, if not then 1866mhz) + 256GB SSDs would be the ideal gaming laptop.
