Hi everyone, im looking for a new gaming laptop for gaming on the go. I need to carry a a laptop every day, so portability is a factor, but not a big one. Looking for something with a GTX 970M/980M and G-Sync, and a quad core Intel CPU. Right now, the Asus G752VY is on top of my list, but i heard it has pretty bad battery life. Any recommendations?  Btw i live in Denmark so i need a Nordic keyboard. Razer Blade 14 is not on the list.

Really depends what features you want, and what you want to spend

 

Thin and light? GS40 - 14" thin, light, 970m 

best performance? Clevo P870DM 17" thich heavy dekstop 980

 

etc etc etc

 

so really depends what you want out of the machine

 

 

EDIT  good option is the Schenker XMG P406 (Clevo P640RE)

any "gaming" laptop is gonna have bad battery life. Just life. You want good hardware, it takes more power. Personally i would look into the MSI GS70 steath pro. The new one with skylake and the nvme drive. Doesnt have gsync but with a single 970m and 1080p screen you really dont need it.

Not necessarily true

Example Alienware 13 with 960m has up to 11 hours of battery life (not when gaming obviously)

 

my AW 18 has about 6 hours when not gaming Some clevo and MSI models etc too have decent battery 

 

But yes none have good battery WHEN gaming

Dell 7559 Linus just reviewed has good battery life. Respectable 4 hours of browsing. But it's 960M.

Yeah i've been looking at MSI laptops, but always disissed them for having TN panels and being way more expensive in my location.

I know most Gaming laptops have crummy batteries, but compared to the last gen G751, its a smaller cell.

Let me point out that my bad battery life statment is when gaming on battery... yes if your just surfing the web its gonna be alot longer.

And i have to ask... why and how the hell do people buy and game on a freaking 11"-13" laptop. I cant even use anything smaller then a 15.6" for just surfing the web and even that drives me nuts sometimes let alone gaming.

Yeah im looking for 17,3 or 15,6. But some gaming notebooks have REALLY crummy cells, as they are designed to be plugged in all the time.

You COULD build a battery pack with the same voltage as the output of your charger. Then plug that in for extra battery life. Thats what i did for my GS70. I have an extra 392 watt hours in a back up battery so its basicly like gaming off AC power

Though it has ~3 hours of battery life, the GS60 Ghost Pro does have a 970M and a 1080p IPS display(No g-sync), steel series keyboard. Quad Core i7 6700HQ (skylake). It has a 128gb ssd and 1TB 7200 RPM HDD. Microsoft(with a  student or business discount) has it for around 1530. Bad battery life sucks, but a deal like that phew that sounds good. If not chance out the p35wV5, it has a sweet 970m 6GB for a 1080p display.
