Subject: Good Laptops?

Hahaha, that's funny I thought you said my stats will be on Waypoint now. Wait, you were serious? Then, Nooooooooooooo!!!

I am looking into buying a laptop for gaming and homework. If any of the floodies can help me out it would be greatly appreciated. Also could the price be kept within 1500$ please? If not, still, thanks for the help.

Asus G74/G75. I have a G74, works really nice and is less than $1k now, I think.

Lenovo is a good brand. I bought one a few months ago, but I really haven't used it all that much except to browse Bnet. It's sole purpose will be for storm chasing. I wouldn't recommend a laptop for gaming though, if you are looking for a gaming setup, go with a desktop.

By gaming I mean games like Minecraft and Amnesia.

If you're paying 1500 get Skyrim and BF3 on a desktop.

Build a desktop.

Laptops are for plebs.

Remember, it's also for school/homework.

Easily fixed. Bring a hovering desk with you at all times. And a hovering outlet.

Some people don't want a desktop. I use my laptop for gaming. Problem?

Lt. Dan I brought you some ice cream. Lt. Dan.. ice creaaam!

I know I am not the OP. But I'm looking for a laptop too.

The laptop is not for gaming. I basically would use it for the internet, listening to music and other basic stuff. And a small screen size would be nice.

Meh.

OT: I would recommend Toshiba as a good brand. You can buy laptops with better specs for the same price but both me and my sister use them and neither has had any reliability issues.

The cheapest, smallest, one that I could find was a notebook. I only know of it because it was a gift for my mom last Christmas.

I have the potential to run BF3 on my laptop, so you can deal with it.

You used there instead of their, I have a problem with you. Plus, it's not just for gaming, I will be using it for my Ipad for homework. These statements being said, could you please just answer my question.

Check out Apple's Macbook Air and ASUS's Zenbooks. They're really portable, compact, sleek and thin, and have got great displays and touchpad/keyboard combinations, with decent battery life clocking at about 6 hours on light usage for the MBA. The Zenbook is the Win equivalent of the Air. They could be a bit pricy for their average specs, but they're really worth it. I think the Zenbook starts at $899 while the MBA at $999. They both also come at 11"... not sure if that's too small for your liking.

Lenovo and Asus are usually very good.

I've never been able to understand this concept. What's so bad about gaming laptops? I have one and I absolutely love it.

Poll: what would you do if a giant hairy spider started licking your hand.

You could try a Dell XPS 15z. I have one and it's pretty good for the money at least.

  • 12.08.2012 11:41 AM PDT

Never had a problem with gaming on my laptop.

Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.

I haven't done much in the way of traveling so I don't really know, but is it normal to be gaming while on the road with a life?
