Gaming Laptops (Suggestions)

Open
Lambosaur

Since Black Friday is here and Cyber Monday is coming soon, do you guys have any suggestions on what gaming laptops to buy? The laptop I have is old and whenever I use it, it automatically shuts down when it overheats (Acer). I'm on a $1,000 budget and I'm looking for something that'll last me awhile.

Games I play:
League of Legends
CS:GO
Don't Starve Together
Overwatch
Hearthstone
Black Desert Online

I probably can't help you answer that but it may help others answer if you give them an idea of what types of games you want it to be able to run and possibly how big of a laptop you don't mind getting. Just some things that may help, hopefully someone else can give actual suggestions though.

Probably edit that into the main post, I don't think you'll have too many problems finding a good enough laptop if those are the games you play most

CS:GO is incredibly CPU heavy if you want over 300fps, just letting you know. Aim for a faster processor not video card in that case.

As for your actual question, I can vouch for either rjtech or xotic pc as suppliers of decently cheap gaming laptops.

Why would one want more than 300fps?
Isn't 80 enough for playing that fucking game?

I suggest to wait for GTX 1050 Ti laptops. Rumors speak of a release in early 2017.

1,000 budget and gaming laptop is difficult but not impossible.. certainly won't be as strong as a desktop would be at that price range, but manageable.. this looks like a top contender imo. no it's not the 10xx series, but it's still pretty good.

Probably not the best, but I had seen this and didn't think it was a bad deal.

This one is supposed to be the best you can get for $1000

I've actually built a desktop. I just need something portable.

Powerful gaming laptops are pricy.

I bought the Asus ROG G751JY with the GTX 980M + 24 GB RAM for 2000 €uros late 2014 and love it to death still like at the first day.

Wanted to suggest the alternative route to get a stronger but used one instead of a less powerful but brandnew one
when I saw the post from d3m4n above >>> That Rig from 1.699 discounted @ $994 - That's a steal! >>> Go for it!! :D

This is a great deal imo: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LXO0PO2
I'm considering getting one myself, even though I'd have to pay to get it shipped to me.
