Buying a gaming laptop

Vaexstro · May 6, 2013

Hey,

Any gaming laptop you can advise me to buy?

I have no budget as of now, though I cannot buy Razer as they don't sell that on my country, and not customizable laptops unless you see a big benefit from it.

Another question - should I wait for the 700 series ? How long is the wait going to be for the end card series to be? Just an estimation..

Every comment is much appreciated

Best regards,

Roei

I bought a $1000 laptop for gaming and it was unimpressive. A year later, I sold it and bought a desktop. I realized that my laptop just sat on my desk and never moved, so why didn't I buy a desktop? It's a lesson I won't forget. (wasted money)

If you don't need portability then go desktop. A $1000 laptop competes with a $600 desktop.

I won't recommend a laptop cuz experience taught me that gaming requires a desktop unless you play games that
came out 4 years ago.

Actually, no my PC is currently very powerful and you are probably correct as my monitor is 2560x1440 and nowhere close a mobile graphic card will be able to perform as needed under that resolution...there's something that makes me want a laptop though, I am probably doing a huge mistake as it's either upgrading to a Titan or getting a laptop and I know it's going both to extreme ends so I am not being sure right now...

If you try to run your laptop on the nice monitor you won't be able to game on it. If you did it would be Minecraft or some old game at low resolution.
If you need portability then look for a Lenovo, Sager, or MSi notebook.

Yeah..I suppose, not even a 680m will be able to run something well?

Meh..Do you know when the 700 series is out?

Haven't heard any specifics. We don't know yet, but as you know it's always the most expensive GPUs first then slowly the cheaper ones.

Laptops cannot compare to a desktop with price per performance. With that said.

I have a Lenovo Y500 I7 with 2 GT 650 SLI and i can play all of the new games @1080 on high or ultra. Max pain 3, FarCry 3, MWO with 30 plus FPS or more.

All for $869.

I was thinking of buying the G75 from Asus, do you know it?

Vaexstro :

Looks really good but $2000. Yikes.

Still not sure if I should wait for the model with the 700 series, how long do you reckon it will take?
