Help a noob out please!

Hi guys, I have a nice little budget of 1500 buck to use. I really want a gaming .... laptop; mainly for portability reasons. I have never purchased one before and dealing with mobile hardware, I don't know what i'll really be getting for my money. Help a guy out please!

 

I'm trying to be able to play the latest games on high settings 1080p at most(Definetily something like dayz and wareframe). Thanks for any suggestions. ~ExKingb12

Where are you based?

every gaming laptop in this price class will be well, but don't forget to uninstall aaall the preinstalled programs that you don't need! (those take a lot of power!)

I saw some nice MSI gaming laptops at decent prices but I don't know any models.

change the HDD to a 1TB drive and add an SSD,also make sure to tick the boxes for the free games.

If you need the Laptop for LANs and so on, I'd suggest a mini ITX build, as it will be much more powerful.

If you carry your machine around 24/7 have a look at the MSI Gaming-Series laptops. And stay FAR AWAY from the ASUS ROG G7x series Laptops. They are not worth the plastic they are made of.

fits your budget, and you have 200 to spare on a good mouse & headset.

Wow, that's actually a good deal. Not fond of those apu's. Would they really be able to handle what I am asking?

It still has a dedicated GPU built into it, so I think this would be an awesome deal!

it's comparable to a phenom II x4 or a FX 4350 with a 7870 in a desktop.

The best bang for your buck laptop that I've seen is the Lenovo Y580.

a 660m is nowhere near a 7970m, it's more comparable to a 7700m
