Best PC gaming laptop?

likasombod

I'm looking for a new gaming laptop (NOT a desktop) that preferably does not cost over $2000 (although a little above that isn't a dealbreaker). Right now I'm thinking about the Alienware M17x. Any other suggestions?
I'm also thinking about the ASUS G75VW. Better than the Alienware?

Gaming Laptop/PC Help?

kevin

Im thinking about buying a Gaming computer. I don't know alot about this stuff.. Usually I would ask my friends about this stuff but no one I know owns a gaming computer :/. I'm trying to spend within my budget ($350), if that's possible?.. If you could help me out that'll be tight. :)

1.) What is better/cheaper? Gaming Laptop or PC?

2.) Do I have to pay to play online??

3.) What is the least I should spend on a gaming computer? (I'll be playing BF4, Day-Z, The Forest)

4.) Do gaming computers overheat quickly??

That's all I think I should know.? If you'd like to add something I forgot, feel free. Also if you find any websites selling gaming computers that you think will fit me and my game style around the price im looking for that would be perfect :) Thnx

Answer
gaming desktops are always going to be cheaper in a price to performance ratio aswell as more powerful if you're spending the same price. that being said, a desktop would be your best choice, gaming laptops are really only for the convenience of portability.

as for paying for online you don't need to, that's the best part about pc gaming, you don't have to pay for something you already pay for.

as for the least to spend on a gaming computer, for the games you wan't you're going to want to spend at least like 500 bucks, anything lower and the computer just isn't going to do much in terms of gaming. mid end, you're going to be looking at about 750 bucks. and high end pc's are going to run about 1200 bucks, anything more and you're not getting that much for your money.

as for overheating, you shouldn't have too much problems aslong as you're in a nice enviorment. Spend some money on an aftermarket cooler, it will do wonders for your CPU and as for the GPU they typically have their own fans.

Good gaming laptop/pc!!!?

Dvin B

ok my current pc is just DEAD with viruses, and my laptop is so slow im purposely trying to kill it to get my dad to buy a new one...i need a good gaming pc! any computer ppl here? what should i look for? like RAM and GHz-and whats the average cost? i got mine my laptop for 900 i think and it has 448 MB of RAM and 1.60GHz..shameful.
thanks in advance :)
oh..i want it for gaming, the game i play is world of warcraft and its a huge game-my laptop fails at running it

Answer
Most important thing is the processor. Compare processors - not just the GHZ (the general processor speed measure) but also the cache and bus. Dont be fooled by highly clocked processors with tiny caches and such...

Also, it might be better to get a single core processor, not these fancy dual and quad cores. Right now, less than %5 of applications out there and just a handful of games can actually utilize more than one core - wich means that if you have a 2ghz dual core processors, most games will play as if they were on a 1ghz processor (wich cant really play anything)

Eventually everything will be able to take advantage of multiple core tech, but until then, either get a much cheaper single core, or go fo a high end dual core wich will still be able to operate OK on one core. Mediocre dual cores a pretty useless right now...

For ram: At least 1 gb. But check the type too - DDR3, 240 pin, thats good stuff... dont be fooled by computers using old DDR ram that will operate much slower...

Your going to need a video card - careful, they make a lot of cards with tons of cheap memory in them so the specs look good bu they actually suck. Like a sucky 512mb card can easily be beat by a good 256mb card.

Best thing you can do is build the system yourself. Its actually very easy and will save you a lot of money as well as get you the best possible configuration. If you dont want to mess with that - pay to have a system built - this can still come out a lot cheaper.

And your old computer... if its full of viruses and such, just wipe the hard drive with DBAN and then reinstall windows using an OEM cd. It will be running like new.

Also if you want something for gaming dont go with a laptop as it will cost you at least 3x more and will not be as good.

***just saw your add - if you just want to play WOW you can get any used system on craigslist for like <$200, or a laptop for like <$400. WOW is old business graphically...

Cheapest good quality gaming PC/laptop?

Corvo

The titles just it... I want a really good price on a really good gaming laptop...

Answer
Gaming laptop = high performance.

Good quality, high performance and cheap are 3 attributes that cannot be satisfied all at the same time. Pick two of them, or compromise between all three.

Good and powerful won't be cheap.
Good and cheap won't be powerful.
Powerful and cheap won't be good.

What laptop can play any pc game?

reaver

i want a laptop that will not lag or anything . I want it to have really good graphics and sound also. i also want it to be able to play and burn blu-ray.Also lots of space on it for songs and things. One last thing i want this laptop/notebook to last along time and please leave the site of the pc. Thanks in advance.
budget is not to big of a deal just keep around 3000 i guess or 4000

Answer
You would need a gaming laptop like a dell xps. These are expensive new and I don't think are worth the money. I have a m1710 with a 256 card and a core 2 duo and it still runs the games nicely but won't run new games with full graphics I would recomend building a desktop if you want really good graphics with games or look for a m1710 with a 2.13 core cpu 7900gtx 512mb card and 4gigs of ram, it would probably cost you a little over 1000 on ebay. There are alot of scammers on ebay that sell gaming laptops! Make sure you only bid on someone with over 20 feedback and is covered by paypal for $2000 not $200!!!

How much would it cost to build a good gaming pc?

best gaming pc laptop image

Jim

Im graduating from college and im expecting to get a gift from my mom. I have a really shitty laptop that I have been using for 4 years and I think she is going to give me a mac. Thats what she got my sister when she graduated. However, I dont really want a mac, I would rather build my own gaming pc. But how much would that cost?

Mac's cost about $1,000 so would all the parts fit in that price range?
Woops, I meant desktop not laptop.

Answer
I no longer build PC's for myself. A budget of 1,000 bucks/quid would be good though. Maybe even less. If/when it goes wrong, how much hassle is it? Not all faults are easy to diagnose. How much time do you want to spend on FF or diags? And then taking it all apart again to pull out the bit that needs to go back? Each time you take a machine apart and put it back together you also run the risk of introducing new problem(s).

Me? I am older and better off nowadays, so I am prepared to pay a bit more for covenience.

Is it possible to build a gaming PC in an old NES shell?

What gaming pc would work best for me?

best gaming pc laptop image

Joyce

I've been considering purchasing a gaming pc, as I've been gaming a lot more than I used to and found a pretty nice monitor just a little bit smaller than the average TV.

My laptop's obviously not really the best to play games on.

I'd like the games (stuff like Mass Effect, Assassins Creed, Bioshock, etc) to look good and work smoothly. That's all.

Any ideas? Minimum requirements?

Answer
I suggest you CybertronPC, as you have said that you need a gaming PC to play games like Mass Effect, Assassins Creed and Bioshock. This PC is well built for game processing, it has 3.6 GHz quad-core of AMD, 8GB DDR3 SDRAM, 500 GB hard drive and 1 GB video card of AMD radeon.

So as far as gaming is concern it is a great machine to play high graphic games and the recommended specifications of the games you mentioned are lower than CybertronPC's this model. Here you can find actual user review of this gaming machine:
