Cheapest 970m Laptop

Go to solution Solved by don_svetlio,

The cheapest I found the MSI GE72 was about $1300. Its a bit expensive but I might look into it.

Lenovo Y700 is also good

Dell Inspiron (the new Skylake one)

A good Clevo

I made a post yesterday about a laptop that costed $800 and had a 960m with 4GB VRam.

I got to looking into the laptop and the benchmarks of the 960m doesn't really fit the games I play.

 

I got looking into the 965m then the 970m. I think the 970m is amazing for a laptop gpu and I am looking for the cheapest 970m based laptop because

the cheapest one I found was $1200

http://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-P55W-BW1-Broadwell-i7-5700HQ-Computer/dp/B00ZV7FUK2/ref=sr_1_13?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1450944550&sr=1-13&keywords=Gaming+Laptop+970m&refinements=p_36%3A110000-130000

 

It looks promising, but I am not sure if I want to dump $1200 into a laptop. I might go with the 965m laptop I found,

http://www.amazon.com/Alienware-AW15R2-1546SLV-Laptop-Generation-GeForce/dp/B015P3SNN2/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1450944285&sr=1-2&keywords=Gaming+Laptop+965m&refinements=p_n_feature_fourteen_browse-bin%3A2057441011%2Cp_n_feature_seven_browse-bin%3A3012497011%2Cp_36%3A90000-120000

 

Both sound like good candidates, I am just wondering if anyone owns a 970m, 965m, or 960m laptop to share their experience with them. 

 

Also if you find a cheaper 970m and 965m laptop, feel free to post those.

 

Thanks for the help!
