Looking for a gaming laptop

http/www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/VR_Xplorer_X5HQ_GTX1060_Gaming_Laptop

Change to 1TB mechanical, and 16 GB RAM. Use SPRING0410 upon checkout.

Would end up being $1220. If you get 16 GB 2400MHz.

hello,

here's a couple options:

https/www.amazon.com/MSI-GP62MVR-Leopard-Pro-406-Performance/dp/B01MY2NJSH/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1486625832&sr=1-3
https/www.amazon.com/dp/B01M7Q3RPV/sr=1-84/qid=1486626116/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=&qid=1486626116&sr=1-84

cheers

Yeah, there is... but you would end up paying $200 extra.

https/www.amazon.com/Prostar-P650HP3-i7-7700HQ-Bluetooth-Warranty/dp/B01MS67B0V/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1486652279&sr=8-7&keywords=clevo

Another option:
https/www.gentechpc.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=Build-Sager-NP8155
$1,150 with 16GB RAM. Using the coupon: PROMOSPRO on checkout. (You get a 3% discount without having to use cash with this promo).

Gentech has an option to put coollabs liquid ultra plus on your laptop for free. Liquid metal thermal can reduce temps in a laptop by 10-15 degrees... which helps control heat in the laptop. Making it more comfortable. Liquid metal is pretty easy to apply, but if you're inexperienced and make a major mistake, it can short the CPU/GPU. So having them apply it for free is nice

I've never purchased from Gentech before, but I've heard decent reviews from them. I also plan on purchasing from them relatively soon. Suppose I will be able to tell you about there service in a bit, ha.

You can definitely find laptops on Amazon, but they're usually slightly overpriced. I'm not sure if this is because Amazon takes a cut, or what... but Prostar is another Clevo reseller and their site has options that are less expensive than amazon for the same hardware.


But what size/weight were you expecting in a laptop? That really determines what laptop you would end up wanting. I would suggest a Clevo in most instances, as they have similar hardware to MSI, but they're slightly cheaper. I also like the cooling in Clevos moreso than MSI. I'm also not sure if MSI laptops use copper heatsinks or not, which would mean no liquid metal if you go the Gentech route.

Can you give me some websites you use for buying laptops?

@Velo

Sure, I've used CyberPowerPC, and xoticPC, both went smoothly... so I didn't experience the hiccups that some people encounter.

I have heard GentechPC is a really good laptop provider, as they fix their mistakes promptly. For example, some guy had a failed graphics card (which isn't necessarily their fault) however, he was able to send it in, and they swapped the card for a better one. He had to pay the difference between the two cards, but most would just force you to get a new laptop.

GentechPC comes with 2 year part replacement warranty on most of their Clevo laptops. Which is why I would recommend going Clevo, but that's just me. I personally like the laptops that have both a desktop CPU and a desktop GPU. For example, these guys:

https/www.gentechpc.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=Sager-NP9152

SLI version:

**NOTE**
You can find these laptops by any reseller really, xoticpc, cyberpowerpc, pro star, eurocom... list goes on. I just point out GentechPC because they have free liquid metal thermal, and 2 year part replacement warranty. As well as lifetime labor IIRC. (You have to pay for shipping when sending to their facility, however).

Pro Star and GentechPC are both supposedly pretty good at fixing their mistakes. However, I haven't personally purchased from either. CyberpowerPC drags their feet when it comes to fixing their products... however, xoticPC is a decent provider.

If you want a big name provider, go with xotic.
