It’s time for me to purchase a new laptop, the one I am using is currently 6 years old. I would love to be able to play most AAA titles on high settings. Also, multitasking is a must.
Things that DON’T matter:
Dimensions
Weight
Battery Life (Somewhat matters)
Things that DO matter:
Screen Size (15"+)
Multitasking
HDD Size (1TB+)
SSD (Optional, but would be nice)
Please try to keep the price at $1000. $100 or $200 more is ok as long as its justifiable.
I’m going to agree with SpanishGamer and say the ASUS ROG GL551 is your best bet. If you add the 128GB SSD it’s still in your price range and even comes with a decent free mouse on Newegg.
Nice! I forgot all about the Asus ROG, my first suggestion was the Gigabyte P55K but the ROG GL551 has literally the same specs w/ the option to add a 128gb SSD and free mouse/shipping on newegg for $50 cheaper than the P55K.
It’s not unnecessary, its actual feedback.
You want to run most AAA titles on high and thats possible but not practical on laptops. Especially with good framerate.
You’re spending a lot of money for little return. Especially since most gaming laptops aren’t very practical on the portability scale.
He’s just asking, why don’t you build a desktop for gaming then buy an average laptop for everyday use. That would make more sense. You can build a powerhouse for $1,000 on the desktop side. You’re not gonna run GTA V efficiently on any laptop for $1,000. It’ll run but not optimally.
This seems like a good gaming laptop. Overpriced, but thats the case with any high performance laptops.
