Looking for Gaming Laptops.

SImoHayha · December 6, 2015

Hello since its almost X-mas and my grades have been doing quite well. I was looking in the neighborhood for some gaming laptops.

Here is my list of needs and wants.

+ Want a screen thats small like 15 inches or even a little bigger than that but I rather have it small for portability

+ Must have an optical drive and can't be too flat or bulky, I can deal with bulkyness but to some extent.

+ Must have a long battery life 6-5 hours ( I turn down my brightness settings always with my school given laptop and it lasts a good 10 hours )

+ can be either an APU or CPU/GPU gaming laptop. If needed I will purchase higher speedy ram for the APU.

+ For CPU can be an i5 or i7. or in APU's an A10 or A8 series APU. Just not a U for the i5 I can deal with an U for the i7 but not i5. Preferred the HQ ones.

+Dedicated GPU must be GTX 860M, 940, 950 or 960 or anything else thats good performance and of course can't be GDDR3 VRAM.

+ 8GB Ram or 16 GB either one works.

+ SSD or HDD. Preferred a Hybrid drive to be honest.

Price : 800-900$. If so I will be willing to purchase it with half and half payment ( Some of my money and some of my parents money )

So shoot out some suggestions will ya lads? Of course thank you for helping me out.

This is a pretty good deal

with the left over money you can probably buy an SSD for it as I believe it has 2 bays.

Especially for the 800-900 buck price range, I see no reason to get something with an APU. They just simply aren't that good. I would recommend a Lenovo Y50, but the battery life is less than good. Besides that, it fits most of your criteria. Just not battery and CD drive. I would argue that optical media is basically obsolete, so unless you use cd's everywhere you go and something like at least 3-5 times a week, you can live with a small external drive.
