Best 960m laptop?

Go to solution Solved by daniellearmouth,

Pretty much the Dell Inspiron 7559.

Hey all, my friend is looking for a gaming laptop to take with him when he travels. We both know desktops are a lot better, but obviously this is for travel and he has a pretty decent desktop at home :)

 

Things to consider:

- $800-$1000ish (cheaper is better)

- 960m or similar 

- battery life/trackpad/looks are unimportant

 

If it could be from newegg or amazon, that would be great :D I found some good looking options, but I'm not sure if they thermal throttle or not (which is one of our biggest concerns) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834232848&cm_re=960m-_-34-232-848-_-Product and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834315164&cm_re=960m-_-34-315-164-_-Product

 

 

Thanks!
