I need some help: what gaming laptop should i go for? Budget is £1000

Before you ask why it isn't a PC, it's because I honestly prefer laptops due to portability. I don't care about the thinness of laptops to be honest, so anything that has great specs and is worth the value is what I want. *Edit:* I was able to narrow the choices down to two, but im stuck on which one to get. Here's the link to the poll: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/241884065/0/0

    Your computer doesn’t need to be portable, that’s what Phones are for a Desktop is significantly better than a laptop, much more powerful and cost less. Plus it’s a blast to build unless you absolutely need a laptop for work or something, it’s completely idiotic to get a laptop over a desktop a 1000 laptop will be pretty trash, a 1000 desktop will blow it out of the water

  • If you want something portable I recommend a micro itx pc they are super compact and fit almost anywhere but they out preform consoles and most laptops (due to parts being smaller they are produced for less) I can put together a parts list for you if you want.

  • Any Alienware one is really good

    • Bought the Dell for my wife last year. It's a good machine for what I paid ($750). Only knock I have is it's a laptop but she wanted a laptop so I got her one I can enjoy as well.

    • might be a stretch right here but i think you could get a decent pc (that runs current games fine) plus a switch for travelling for your budget. would that be an option, op?

      • If you’re set on a laptop, try the HP Omen range.

        • I'd look at MSI. They have tons of different models and are decently priced. You should be able to get something with a GTX 1060. I'd find models for you, but Idk UK/Europe pricing (sorry, Idk if that symbol is GBP or Euro lol).

          • Gaming laptop for 1000? Might as well buy a toaster instead. Gotta go up quite a bit more if you want something decent.

          • My advice, get the best Asus laptop that $1000 can buy.

          • [b]Never[/b] go Alienware. If you absolutely must spend that much money on a pretty much non-upgradable laptop, Razer or Asus would be your best bet.

            With that budget, you're better off building a desktop. If the laptop is a must, however, you can't go wrong with Dell/Alienware. Asus is also a safe bet.

            • What settings/games are you wanting to run? Unfortunately, you pay the premium for the portability. £1000 doesn't take you all that far in laptops.

              • With ram and gpu prices the way they are now one could argue it'd be better to get a pre built anyway. Haven't had an excuse to look at laptops recently. All I got is avoid -blam!-in alienware.
