Gaming Laptop <$2300

[monjanger]

Budget: Anything around $2300 would honestly be pushing it. The lower the better of course, maybe around $1500-$1700.

Aim: It needs to be able to game. I am playing quite a bit of Titanfall 2, CS:GO, The Forest, and such. I need it to be lightweight, and have pretty decent battery life. Touchscreen would be nice, and maybe 144HZ or G-SYNC, or 1440P or 4K? Chiclet keyboard is fine IMO, decent looking laptop with maybe some nice lights. Give me some options! Thanks

why do you want a gaming laptop, just get a nice desktop and a laptop

I have a desktop already, and a laptop for school that can't game. I have been traveling and want something I can game on the go with.

Maybe. Price to performance is a lil' iffy.

Any preference on screen size?

Just go for a cheap sub 1000 dollar one. That way you can get another one 2-3 gens down. y520 has my pick.

13-14inches is ideal. Honestly anything under 17inch is fine.

Mmmm....

Clevo P650HS is the best value you'll get.  Like 1700 for an i7 7700HQ, GTX 1070, 16GB of ram, 256GB ssd + 1TB HDD.  Can customize and add a 4K GSync screen if you want.

If only that p650 had thunderbolt 3...that thing is pretty loaded for the dough.

You do realise your title says "gaming laptop more than $2300" right?

[terbor33]

There are tons of laptops you could have. Just a few you might want to consider are;

MSI GS63VR / GS73VR

Gigabyte Areo 14

Razer Blade 14

Asus ROG FX502VM

Aorus x3 / x5

Upcoming Dell XPS 15

Get this with these options http://www.xoticpc.com/msi-gs73vr-stealth-pro-225.html?startcustomization=1

1. switch the 2tb to a 1tb 7200rpm (the 5400 will be deathly slow).

2. switch the killer wifi to the intel 8260 because the killer one is highly inconsistent.

3. get the best thermal compound option they have since it is a thin and light.

Total cost: 1816.81
