Gaming laptop tips

[skeeler88]

Hello,

 

I am new to the whole website but i am looking for a good gaming laptop roughly between $1000-1500. I like the portability of a gaming laptop rather than a desktop PC. Also if anyone can recommend a good laptop that can play games like H1Z1, battlegrounds, rocket league, etc. Hope to hear back!

You posted this in off topic. Less people will see it becase off topic posts don't show up in the sidebar. If it's related to tech it probably has a section it goes in other than this

Best value processor is the g4600 but you might have to undervolt it to get good temps. Most people end up buying gaming laptops and rarely using them outside of their house, so be sure you're going to use it at a friends house or something. The gpu is a 1050ti.

For that money, start looking at Clevo/Sager/XMG. Same rebadged laptops, depending on your location.

For that money he can easily get a 1060 and 7700HQ, which is the CPU you want for unoptimized games like these. All the power you can get.

Any laptop with a 7700HQ and GTX 1060 will be more than sufficient for your needs.

 

Clevo-base laptops like Sagers, XMG and even ones by Clevo themselves are a good start. The Helios 300 is also a good value offering along with the Y720.

 

In your price range, the 7700HQ and 1060 are very attainable. Do note that there are 2 variants of the 1060; the 1060 3GB and the 1060 6GB not counting the Max-Q versions. Ideally, you want the 6GB version not just for the extra VRAM but for its higher CUDA core count and other stuff.
