Custom Pc Websites

[R2D360]

i was thinking about buying a gaming laptop just wanted to know if the websites like XOTIC-PC And Cyberpower PC were any good

The two laptops that i had in mind were

1.ASUS G750JZ-DS71

2.Cyberpower Pc Fangbook Evo HX7-300

can somebody help me with the decision.

my budget is about 2500 to 2700 $

Honestly, now this is just personal preference and opinion, but I'd go with Asus. Its a trusted brand, and you know for a fact that it will work as intended out of the box. I always feel with places with Origin and Cyberpower its a bit of a gamble... Plus, Asus custom design their own chassis whereas cyberpower just use barebone ones. Thus, you're getting a much nicer fit and finish and overall quality with the Asus. If it were me, I'd go with Asus simply for the reliability. Knowing Asus, they have vigorously tested that specific laptop and ensured that each individual component works flawlessly with each other. Also, Asus's customer service is phenomenal, just sayin'...

 

Bottom line, I personally would go with Asus. It's up to you to decide, though.

I'm not trying to bash gaming laptops and notebooks, but the price/performance is not that fantastic and a similar priced desktop solution would be much better (and could be built by you, so you save even more $$.)

Is there a specific reason it has to be a laptop? The reason I ask this is because your budget is enough to allow for a VERY kickass desktop computer whereas that same money will get a high-end laptop that happens to perform the same as a medium-tier desktop build at best.

If a laptop is necessary, I would look at ASUS and MSI products, as you're basically guaranteed it works and they both have good customer service, so RMA-ing should not be too difficult should the product not work as intended.

1. Maybe a Razer Blade 14? (the new one?) 2. Or a desktop. You can have a 780ti sli for that price.

Do you have a relative or a close friend who you are confident is good with these things (not just someone who claims such and is terrible in practice, never let that person try build anything for you.)

For the performance given from a $2700 laptop I would assume you could get from a $1800 desktop or you could spend the same $2700 on a kick ass desktop, so it may be a good thing to look into.

Do not be afraid of building your own computer and end up paying way too much for less performance just because you weren't willing to give it a try. If you live near a pc store that isn't a chain-owned one, you may be able to work out a deal where you pay them to build it.

I only say this because you could be potentially spending over a thousand dollars for the same performance or possibly less, which is never a good thing.
