Default Laptop suggestions ?

I have 2100 USD for a new gaming laptop. Any suggestions?

i want as high performance as possible, and especially something that doesnt overheat (like my macbookpro which is constantly too hot) . 17 inch would be nice too, and it should be possible to clean/replace the fans (as i know some laptops are almost impossible to open) . But i guess that should be the case for any gaming laptop anyway.

Thanks in advance.

Do they even make laptops that don't overheat yet?

obligitory remark will now be added on how laptops blow especially with that budget


I'll also add you will be getting a hot laptop no matter what you do spending that kind of money, mainly due to the fact that anything over 600 or so is really intended for gaming and will have a somewhat decent GPU/HDD/Memory which all adds up to alot of heat.

case in point - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834152303

Use to play EQ on my laptop. Now after about 10 minutes of running any game on my laptop, it will immediately turn off from overheating.

I bought a desktop 10x better than my laptop for $800....

I have an Asus notebook G73JH series and I like it. It does heat up when I game but I use a cooling pad and I keep the core temp around 86c so I don't have any issues with it overheating and turning off. I would have rather had a desktop for gaming but I spend about half my time traveling for work so it's either don't play when I travel or buy a laptop and I'm glad I found this one.

well when your laptop is overheating that fast your fans are either very dusty or completely broken. When my laptop overheated like 1min after i started playing EQ i had to clean the fans, and after that it was running fine again.


I bought an asus gaming laptop now, and i can run swtor on the highest settings and the laptop doesnt get warm at all, and i have always high fps.
