Hey I was wondering what kind of gaming laptop I could get for $2000 or less. If possible I would like to know what it is lacking. Thanks

Do not get an Alienware...your paying them for the name and the looks. Specs are horrid. Look at ironside computers. They're godly.

Depends if you're willing to get a desktop replacement. I have one; the MSi gt60. It's not a terrible deal and will run most game between medium and ultra graphics (medium for Crysis 3, high for BF3, Ultra anything made 2009 or earlier)

4 RepliesGaming laptops are a compromise, I'd recommend a micro desktop. But if you must have a laptop, Asus ROG series are a good option. You could a get a decent laptop for the price, but not what a desktop would give you the price. If you do end up with a laptop, remember that battery life will not be great, and you probably can't upgrade much. Also, toss in a solid state drive. I also recommend [url=http://www.oakley.com/store/products?N=201+128+308+2348]Oakley[/url] for backpacks, a bit pricey, but very durable.

2 RepliesEdited by Bulldozer: 5/22/2013 12:47:25 AMGet an ITX build instead A gaming laptop is garbage. I have a Lenovo y580 back in October and it sucked balls at gaming. It played GTA IV at 15 fps max settings. Crisis 2 couldn't even be played on extreme without getting b 30fps. Everything else was alright though until I installed Windows 8 and got so mad I bought a Mac. Now I have an mATX build with a 3770k, SLIi GTX670s, 12gb ram and it plays Crysis 3 at 60fps max settings. It was about $1600. For $2,000 you could fcking tri SLI a 670 or a 770 when they come out next week and you'll be set for at least 3-5 years I take it to my friends house because its pretty compact and I just hook it up to his TV and just play games there with an Xbox controller.

A friend of mine has a Sony laptop which can play Arma 3 on pretty high settings, and it wasn't even remotely close to $2000. I think he paid about £800 for it. Try looking at Sony laptops.

Edited by Defence Grid: 5/22/2013 12:25:00 AMIf you want a well made laptop. Alien ware would be a good choice. but you're also paying for the brand. meh, regardless. i have a Mx17 myself it was arguably worth it.

Lenovo Y500 is < $1,000 (I got mine for $850 before tax), and it can play Skyrim on ultra with numerous graphics mods.

4 RepliesIf you're paying over 2000 for a computer (accessories excluded), you're doing it wrong. What games will you be playing?

1 ReplyYou can build a PC with that budget that would shit on a laptop.

Not the best CPU but a beast laptop GPU, and it's on the low end price wise, at $1200 or less.
