Looking for a gaming laptop ~$2000 CAD

Looking for something that I can game with. I will primarily be using it in hotels. I've been looking at the HP Omen 17-W151NR. Seems to be pretty decent bang for the buck. I could also get it at costco for an extra year warrenty + 90 day exchange if I wanted. If I could get a lightweight 15 with around the same specs I might consider going that route but for the extra few pounds it seems a 17" screen would be more up my alley.

It's a great choice. The 4k screen is nice for youtube video etc.. but for games, most will run correctly on a gtx 1070 in 4k but recent games will be laggy, you will need to drop the resolution to play recent games over 60 fps

I think Dell Alienware Canada sales is the crap you take when you have a dyria thus my conclusion is that the customer service is bad as well.

 

HP's customer service is 10x worse than dells.

 

Check if it overheats. but i really like the spec for $2000 Canadian even with that you are under.
