Laptop question
 
Thinking of buying a decent gaming laptop. Don't need anything fancy but enough to play games at mid settings. Anyone have experience with cyberpower or a site similar?

By "games" do you mean 1999 titles or 2017 titles cause there is a world of difference in required specs

WoW, P99, Overwatch, kids will play roblox and Minecraft.

Wow and Overwatch are both fairly cpu-heavy, wow especially, so really you'd want a recent i5 at bare minimum and a solid discrete gpu. Guy above me is right though, youd be better off just building a reasonable budget desktop unless portability is 100% a must. If you go laptop instead you'll be paying twice as much in hardware for less than the same performance.

I have 2 desktops at home, but when traveling i would just like a laptop. Was just trying to get others opinions that have purchased laptops from sits like Cyberpower, Ibuypower, Alienware, and so on. :)

Alienware is just overpriced. If money isn't an issue then yes they're good, but you're definitely going above and beyond what you could pay.

Now I know I might attract some criticism here but have you considered a look on ebay for gaming laptops made by smaller companies? Usually all of the bang but for less buck.

Haven't even thought about ebay, i was looking on amazon at an Asus laptop. But not to sure of buying that on that site.

I used to have an Alienware M14x that I picked up in excellent secondhand condition on eBay for less than half its original retail price. Pretty good specs for mobile gaming, very solidly build machine.

I liked it a lot and can recommend them, but they are very overpriced and no way in hell would I pay full retail.
