Alienware has outstanding international warranty (which il need a lot) so I'm leaning towards them but it looks like a 12 year olds laptop (Fractal Design fanboy :P - I love minimalist design)

Halp meeeeeeeee

Budget - $1500 need a nice looking laptop with atleast 965m also international warranty is important

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

965m is much better than the 960m and I am not willing to go below the 965m

960m Cuda cores - 640

965m Cuda cores - 1024

It's way better

Oh, so that's what happened to 'ti' GPU.

STOP RECOMMENDING THE LENOVO Y50. IT IS NOT A GOOD LAPTOP OMG.

 

 

Budget - $1500 need a nice looking laptop with atleast 965m also international warranty is important

Is this USD? Are you buying in the US? Where do you live? What games do you want to play?

I have finally moved to a desktop. Also my guides are outdated as hell.

are you sure that warranty is covered by dell in your area?

because if it doesn't you might burn lot's of money for shipping cost.

Yep I'm buying it in us but carrying it to various countries

Countries where il be spending most of my time are covered by dell

the one I would go with, for 100 dollars over your budget, you could get a 970m.

Digital storm is good but for warranty repairs I have to incur the shipping costs for warranty (shipping from outside countries to us is pricey)

Okay thanks anyways! :)

 

Asus, MSI and dell are probably your best bet, but I am not 100% sure without checking

Buying in US

Play only dota 2 but wanna play games like bf4 (bought but don't run on my old system)

MSI has international warranties... but they only last like one year. Then you need to return to the country you got it from.

 

Dell has the best global warranties, but as far as I can see their laptops really really suck this time around... I don't know what to tell you. Global warranties mean clevos are out, so the best laptops are instantly a no-buy. MSI and Alienware and possibly Gigabyte are your next choices. Gigabytes are pretty pricey; moreso than MSI and possibly even Alienware this time around. You're asking a pretty difficult thing here.

 

My choice: MSI GS60/GS70 or something. Maybe the GT60/GT70 if you want something with some more "oomph" but you won't benefit from the MQ chips as those laptops restrict the power delivery system due to having a tiny power brick because fuck MSI. You will benefit from better cooling however. I don't know how they'll fit into your price range though. Good luck!
