I need advice on what laptop to purchase

Jack22012 · Feb 22, 2014

I'm looking for a gaming laptop that doesn't exceed $1000 preferably in the range of $700.
I don't care if it can play games on ultra settings, All I care about is that it can play modern games without burning to a crisp and can go on for about 5-7 hours of gaming thanks!

Best gaming laptop around the $600 range: http

If not you could maybe look at the Samsung ATIV book series or Lenovo U530 Touch (higher end models with dedicated graphics).
I'm personally going to get the higher end U530 Touch model from best buy on monday.

If you don't care about thickness and such, the Lenovo y510p is the best gaming laptop you can get under $1000. Nearly everybody would suggest that laptop.

most decent build a10 APUs will hit 7+ hours gaming. of course it's a stretch to call an a10 system a gaming system. But you can get them for $600; and i'd only say they're quality gaming machines on small monitors like a 1366x768 screen.

The problem with long battery life on a gaming laptop is stronger mobile gpus will chew the battery up. If battery life is a requirement you'll need to make some serious compromises and go with the onboard graphics of an apu or an intel iris pro (that said the iris pro has such poor driver support i don't suggest this) with a lower res monitor.

Alternatively, you could also look at the Asus N550JV-DB72T or 71

Thanks alot I'm pretty new to laptops I'm pretty fine with 3-4 hours now while playing games and all the games I play are minecraft and sometimes just cause 2 maybe a bit of gmod but that's it. I can install my own OS through USB and disc drive so I should be covered thanks.

Thank you guys so much. I'm going to get the Lenovo y510p mainly because it has more of what I need. I'm pretty new to the laptop world so I don't know much thanks!
