What PC should I consider?




Razzak


I was looking to get a new PC because I do have an old one currently. I am a bit interested in a bit of gaming so much as being able to play Crysis 3 at a pretty decent level. One that is really thin and light so portable. I will not care for an optical drive however I don't mind if I get one. Lastly I was thinking the price range to be about $2000 or less.
I asked for a laptop because I take take my laptop with me for other reasons.

Take a look at these rankings:

For gaming laptops I would start here:

http://www.asus.com/us/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/Gaming_Products/

Gaming laptops are pretty expensive. In your shoes I would get a performance desktop and then a separate more basic laptop. The reason is the $1500 or so you spend on a high end laptop now will be outdated as far as gaming performance within 2 years and you would need to repurchase to keep up to speed. You could get an excellent gaming desktop for well under $1000 and then an inexpensive laptop for $300-$500. The desktop would be relatively easy and inexpensive to upgrade over the next years while the laptop would chug along just as able to meet your mobile needs then as now.

YMMV

Lenovo, Asus, HP, and Samsung are the top 4 laptop brands. I wouldn't consider any other brands.

Dell makes Alienware and they are not worth the money charged.
Acer makes Gateway. You'd have to pay me to use one of their machines.
Sony hardware has generally been good, but they are notorious for putting huge amounts of crapware/bloatware on machines and gathering information on their consumers without their knowledge or permission.
Toshiba has bottomed the rankings. Personally, I have used them and never had a problem, but that does not appear to be the case any more.

Could I Play most games on Medium To High (Maybe Ultra) With these specs?
