Im looking for a 13-14: gaming laptop that is thin and i would like a screen resolution that is higher then 1080p but 1080p is fine i will use it for streaming games to wile at home but when im out i will use it for gaming and 3D work in Autodesk programs and Unreal Engine type programs. Im currently looking at some now but i would like your opinions on whats good.

 

-Edit

Also if its easy to get in or to Australia that would be a plus

Alienware's new 13 inch laptop is a good choice. Not sure how easy it is to get in Australia.

Aorus X3

Alienware 13 (plus maybe the new external graphics card enclosure)

Razer Blade 14

MSI GS30

Gigabyte p34g

Clevo 230ST

Lenovo Y40

 

Pretty much the pick of the crop when it comes to good 13-14" gaming laptops :)

Yeah I was just trying to show the whole range :P

 

My advice, write down all the models features and specs on paper, and cross out things you dont like.. the one with the least crosses is the one you buy

Thats a good idea... So far im liking the Aorus 13 the most just ticks all the boxes except storage but thats hard to fix with 13-14" laptops

Yeah honestly that is the laptop I am considering right now myself, it looks beatiful too! the only think that puts me off for me is the slightly weak top.. but it should be fine, I am used to my full metal alienware and macbooks :P

 

(I am also considering a 15" retina pro, but wish apple put a better gpu in)

I was thinking the new 13" from Alienware but its to thick for my liking xD and im not rough with my things so the Aorus's screen should be no prob if i do choose the Aorus 13 pro i may wait a bit to see if they release one with a 970 in it or hear of any news cause it will take me a wile to save up for it
