McCordRm Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 No replies in the gaming thread... bah. So I'm going to splurge on a gaming laptop for the wife. She's biting at the bit for one with EQ Next coming out. I was looking at the Razer Blade Pro (it small, light, and has that groovy screen/touchpad thing) but it's not upgradeable. I'd like to have more memory and hard drive space. There are a couple of "custom" sites that let you have artwork/paintjobs on the laptop, so that would be nifty. So far: FalconNW and Origin come to mind. Any others I should look into? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted October 2, 2013 Moderator Share Posted October 2, 2013 What does she play? Why not just make her a desktop? Easier to upgrade. Ibuypower is pretty good, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xerino Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Cant go wrong with the Acer "Ferarri" Series, Alienware is always a good choice as well, MSI does pretty good ones too, Razer not so sure, I mean they are super thin, super light, and pretty powerful, but at the prices they want, you would be better off just buying a macbook pro lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gets way too hot, noisy fan, and uncomfortable on the wrists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvllsvm Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Sager makes some powerful, although ugly, laptops for decent prices. I was thinking about picking up a Sager NP8265 from XOTIC PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goretsky Supervisor Posted October 15, 2013 Supervisor Share Posted October 15, 2013 Hello, A few manufacturers that have gaming laptop sections on their websites: ? Alienware / Dell ? ASUS ? AVA Direct ? Falcon Northwest ? Lenovo ? Maingear ? Origin PC ? Sager Notebook Computer ? Toshiba ? Widow PC Perhaps one of these will meet your needs.

dead.cell Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 CNet has some pretty reliable reviews, but I always cross reference if anything. http://reviews.cnet.com/laptop-reviews/?filter=1101502_9614452_ Also, take into consideration whatever warranties are offered at the places you shop. I prefer desktop computers for PC gaming, but if a laptop is a must, then I personally wouldn't want to spend $1000+ on what could essentially become a brick if something were to go out that's not easily replaceable. Just food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine told me how Toshiba repaired his laptop which he dropped on the ground by accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
