I need a laptop that can game exceptionally well, I won't be using it for things other than gaming.

 

Preferably with:

a screen of higher resolution than standard HD - 2k or 3k, maybe 4k.

 

Some prices would be nice a long with a few suggestions (maybe the websites as well)

 

Thanks!

Well, an Alienware laptop or an Origin one is a choice (fully customizable) , or you can check out the Asus ROG G750 series laptops (ex. http://www.amazon.com/G750JS-DS71-17-3-inch-Gaming-GeForce-Graphics/dp/B00IEV85OU/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1407158250&sr=1-2&keywords=asus+rog)

This has a better gpu, worse screen and slightly worse processor, at the same price.

Why would you ever want 4k on a laptop? Unless you like playing at sub 10 fps no thanks.

For bragging rights.

So effectively wasting money to show off? That's just downright idiotic.

Yes, yes it is.

Anything over 1080p on a 15.6" screen is just stupid and a waste of money really.

That's why it's preferably, my preference is over HD, but I wouldn't mind not having it.

Honestly you're better off getting stronger hardware than getting a higher resolution.

If you want to show off. Here you go. Buy it while its available. 4k display reburbished Razer blade 2014 for 1799

 

That's not the point, I need a good gaming laptop as a desktop is currently unavailable to me, I would like the screen to be better than HD but I don't mind it being standard HD as i'll be gaming at 1080p most of the time.

MSI GS60 Ghost/GS70 Stealth if you want a slick-looking system. They all have configurations under 2k.

Or MSI GT70/Asus G750 if you prefer a more traditional bulky gaming laptop. 

I usually visit XoticPC a lot to see their pricing. So you can head there to find the best laptop for your needs

this would be the best for pure performance http://www.sagernotebook.com/index.php?page=product_customed&model_name=NP9377 you should upgrade the gpus to an 880m or sli 870ms. if you play games that support sli, dual 770ms will be better.

how overpriced is alienware? 2.0   htc one m8 review    anker mouse review   razer kraken pro review   lenovo yoga 11s review   how overpriced is alienware?
