Title: What are the best Gaming Laptops?
Post by: Rman on August 19, 2016, 11:33:27 AM
Is Prole still around?

I'm looking to get a new gaming laptop--sorry I'm not messing with a tower.

I heard Razer is doing some good things in this space.

Anyone in the know?

Get something with the new Nvidia cards. They're not cut down like laptop GPUs usually are.

Sager with a 1060 for $1300 (once you add Windows). Not as thin as an MSI GS63 or Razer Blade, but it'll cost less and run quieter with temps that shouldn't radiate your balls.

Thats a good price!

Personally I think a 1050 might be solid enough for most once it hits, give you that 970m performance.

Will prob also be available in nice small light form factors

If you order off the Sager site, for $150-200 more you can get basically the same laptop but with 16 gb of ram instead of 8, a 256 gb ssd, and windows 10 included.

Yeah they offer that too, same price when you add Windows.

Now whether or not you'd want to buy from Sager directly, I'm not sure, I've read some claims online arguing you get more protection buying through a reseller.

One minor thing I noticed XoticPC offers is the choice to remove any branding from the laptop for free.

Title: Re: What are the best Gaming Laptops?

is sager a good build?

The one I have is the only PC I've ever owned from them.  It's not going to be a head-turner as the body is made of mostly-plastic, but the screen is great and the performance is awesome.  These things are made with gaming in mind though, so don't expect the best battery life or even stuff like touch screens.  I use Windows tablets for more portable web-browsing and light gaming and leave the Sager hooked up to my monitor as a full-on desktop replacement.  Even the 13.3" model I have (which they no longer make), the smallest one from them, is still bulky enough with its power brick that I've only taken it with me if I've gone on a long trip...and even then it isn't the kind of thing I'd take out and use while on the go.

If I decide to go with another desktop for my next PC (leaning towards a desktop this time), no doubt I'd go for another Sager though.

I have a newer 15" screen model from them and it's dope. Really solid build, aluminum alloy shell, doesn't run hot. I bought it last December and love the shit out of it.

I use a big CyberPower laptop, it’s out of date with a 770m but still plays PUBG well enough.

I got an MSI earlier this year. Has a full size 1070 and 32gb of ram. It plays games great but it is hilariously not at all portable. It weighs about six pounds and uses a gigantic external power brick. If that's ok with you I think it's a quality piece of hardware, but on the other hand I got sick of carrying it through airports and now it stays at home, so I probably should have just built a desktop or whatever.

My gaming PC recently broke and I've been looking for an alternative but it seems like the new 8th gen Intel processors won't be released for gaming PCs until next year...wonder if it's worth waiting that long for the new hotness...
