Buying a new gaming laptop.

y3k0m5 · August 2011

So, i know there are a bunch of computer nerds on here, so i figured id ask.

I'm looking to spend $800 or less on a gaming laptop. Not sure where to look. Was wondering if you all would give me some suggestions. Post on here

thanks!

-Pink would be nice, but not needed. Don't want it to get like SUPER freakin hott. Will be used for gaming and for college.

If you can up your budget 40 bucks get this. It's not pink, but its simple looking and will get the job done.

i got that when it was 1200$ -.-

only prob its REALLY big so taking it to school or going more then a hour of the charger is out of the qestion

and it does not get hot only after like playing 8-10 hours of gaming the back fans work nice

If you put the battery on Power Saver I assure you it will last more than a hour.

Thats the refurbished one, hence the price. You will still pay around 1200+ for it new from places like best buy. You are correct in that it is big and rather heavy. I do travel all week with mine though. Battery life is about an hour or a little more if your watching videos. One thing I did notice with this laptop, is if your on vent or any voice communication and run it on battery for a while then switch to corded it lags a little bit .
Say your on crossfire and vent, then put it on battery for a few then go back to plugged in, your fps will be really low. You have to reboot it. Other than that its a great computer.

Laptops suck at gaming, just ask Tasty.

not necessarily but i do suggest you pick wisely cause laptops dont last as long and they are way more delicate

worst option,

buy a laptop from dell and you get a free xbox 360, you will have a nice laptop for school and you can game, just need to be a student.

go buy a macbook with mine, i had between 100-180 fps, the only thing is your budget but im pretty sure you can get one from last year near that price and if you wonder how you gonna play crossfire just make a windows partition on your hardrive and for school mac software is so amazing

Look if I were you I'd spend that money on Cross Fire and even bought some things like a ball, cycling to and good luck
