"Best gaming" laptop, but stealthy?

Seos

So, I'm relatively new to the Forum, but been an advent watcher of Linus Media videos on le'youtube, but so far I haven't really seen a video about stealthy laptops. So what I mean by stealthy is, a simple laptop without all the fancy bells in whistles (i.e. black lit keyboards, crazy colour schemes, aggressive logo'ing and product definition out the wah-zoo), for my own use graphics is the most importance but still need the number crunching and multi-tasking need for day-to-day workloads, having a desktop would fine but for on the go would like to see what people have and used in the past. In sum, what would most (if any) of you use for a business corporate class, night-time gamer use?

It's probably best to look away from gaming laptops and look at multimedia laptops. The top end of these laptops usually come with a discrete GPU like a gaming laptop, though not as high-end. The only one I can suggest here though is Dell's XPS 15. Lenovo, Acer, or even HP might have something. Or I daresay, the Razer Blade.

 

Otherwise you can look at workstation laptops, though these can be pretty pricey.

Those are all either older titles or more CPU heavy with load. My brother has 2015 Asus laptop, might be even Zenbook I'm not sure, which he has used for occasional competitive CSGO.

 

Look for i5/7 multimedia or business laptops from Asus, Lenovo and Dell (Fujitsu and HP too but I've had some bad experiences with those). With as good GPU as you can find.

There's the new Asus ZenBook Pro UX550 (not sure if it's out in US yet), Dell XPS 15, Lenovo Yoga 720 15" or Gigabyte Aero 14/15. Those are the ones that I can think of that has some good specs and non-bizarre gaming laptop-looking appearance.

For pure design aesthetic, EVGA sc15 and sc17. Very minimalist design with some very impressive hardware. Very expensive but probably one of the best looking laptops on the market.

 

A more reasonable price, like the others have said. Aero 15 and probably the nitro line from acer

Aero 15 and Aero 14 are killer. Excellent batteries, GTX 1060, super light, and (in my opinion) great design.

Haven't seen anything from EVGA, they don't even register on my radar as a maker of good laptops. Razer is only on my radar because they're so terrible I have to make sure people DON'T buy them.

 

As for OP's question, a P950HR or P650HS is probably up your alley for non-gamey-looking but good stuff.

I have finally moved to a desktop. Also my guides are outdated as hell.
