gaming laptops

[HeallunRumblebelly]

So I'm looking for places to compare gaming laptops and places to find particularly good deals. Ram is ram and ssd is ssd. Processors and cards however I have no idea except checking benchmarks. Anyone know of good places / deals / equipment at good price points? Hoping to not go over 1200.

u gotta stop the bleeding man, investing in a LeapFrog LeapPad 2 or 15lb airplane noise generator is not the way forward

You just have to get the right ones. And unfortunately $1200 doesn't usually get you the right ones. I have been using a Sager 9170 for a couple years and absolutely love it. I had to spend closer to $2000 for it but it is one of my favorite machines I've ever had, including my own custom built desktops in the past.

The problem is that most companies make "gaming laptops". Those aren't usually worth it imo. But if you get a custom built sager/clevo and spend a bit more they can be very good.

idk newegg has some nice acer and lenovo for around $600 that play pretty much anything ive tried just fine.

not someone to waste money, im sure if you where a big fan of maxing graphics and playing all the newest etc u might wanna buy the ones a little higher even. im sure this one im on for $600 and drop in an even better grahpics card, some high end $300 nvidia, and there wouldnt be a game you couldnt max and get retarded fps.

I think you'll find everything you need between those two.

These are good, appreciate it. And Samwise, sometimes we don't have as many options as we'd like for a desktop :3

Just used xoticpc to buy a laptop few days ago was a good experience. People that worked there were really nice and helpful as well. Dropped little over two grand. Can't wait for new laptop to arrive oh me oh my! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It seems like Xotic makes decent PCs, but just hope you don't have to return or exchange it. I bought a Sager laptop from them a month or so ago and the idiots at Sager put the thumb-scanner in between the two mouse buttons, making it awkward to do a "middle-click" (ie. press both buttons simultaneously).

I tried to exchange it for another brand and found out that if I went with any brand other than Sager I only got a 15-day (from the day it ships, not arrives) return window. It's pretty much impossible to figure out if an issue like that is just an annoyance that I'll adjust to or a real significant problem in (less than) 15 days, so I decided to return the laptop instead.

Xotic wound up charging me not just for shipping, but also $100-something for minuscule little scratches that you get on any laptop the moment you remove it from the packaging. After that I swore never to get another computer for them.
