Y50 or if you have some cash a razer blade

Do you need a laptop? Why not a desktop?

Budget?

You can go to xoticpc.com and kinda customize some laptop to your liking in your budget.

Highly dependent on what types of gaming you want to do on it. If it is not super intensive save yourself some cash and get something with an 850m/ 860m, but if you want to play the big boy games, you will need something with more beef.

 

Also do you want a thin and light, or do you not mind having something a bit bulky. A desktop could also be an option if you dont intend to move it, but considering you are selling what i presume to be your only laptop, another laptop might be a better option.

I have a desktop with high end specs but won't be taking it to university. So I need a laptop for travelling.

Are Razer blades actually good. Heard so much about them being unreliable

I have a desktop already. Just need something for travelling, prefer something lightweight . I mainly play csgo and lol. Games like that.

Pro

cs go, and lol are not very demanding, so I would suggest that you save yourself some money and get a laptop with a cheaper gpu (in all honesty, your macbook could have probably played those games fine)

 

I myself am looking at getting a razer blade for uni, but that is mainly because I'm looking to play fairly demanding games like GTA 5 and Witcher 3.

i didnt think my macbook would be able to run them? maybe i should just keep it if thats the case. saves a lot of hassle and i do a lot of photoshop etc on it

Try it and see (the hardware is fine, but im not so sure about compatibility on OSX). 

 

Buying a whole new laptop just for games that may already run on your current laptop is a large hassle, and a bit of a waste of money. 

 

Which version of the macbook pro is it? because the newer retina versions have dedicated graphics cards which will handle those games fine, and even the older version should be able to handle them on the integrated graphics (lol is no problem, but cs go mgiht push it a bit more)
