Gaming Laptop Choices

[Sandy Wonder]

I've been thinking about getting a new laptop thats good for gaming. I don't need a serious gaming laptop but it can't be horrible one either. Some of the games that I play are TF2, Garrys Mod, Rocket League, CSGO and Call of Duty World at War. If there is any good laptops that you can suggest then that would be helpful. Thank you.

i would go with that one:

Lenovo IdeaPad Y700-15ISK, Core i5-6300HQ, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 960m 4GB

 

its 900€ (at least here), has a quadcore and a 960m. screen and keyboard are good. i have used those.

yeah but the gpu and the quadcore eat up a lot of power.

if you compare that to my thinkpad in the same price range (72wh & i5-5200u) its not good at all.
