I got my son the gaming computer from ibuypower that someone on here recommended and he loves it. However, his laptop is old and was only like 250 so he can't game on it.

he went to a friend's last weekend and took his whole computer with him. I was like wtf. So i think it's time for a laptop


The alienware one is 4500. not happening. i'd like to keep it under 1k

How about this one? LINK

I can not listen to the whining about it not being fast enough or choppy or whatever.

To be more social for one thing. Gamers are more social than people think, some at least.

Xbox live killed lan parties, and even though it's super convenient to be able to play with whoever whenever, there was nothing like connecting your PC's or xbox's, playing some deathmatch, yelling at each other from the other room, and meeting up in the kitchen for snacks and sodas sharing war stories.

Worked a night job, so on my days off, didn't have to worry about getting up early. Man, I loved it.


Nothing will compare to CE lans.

Not a fan of gaming laptops myself. Hadl bad experiences in college going the "mobile desktop" route.



If you are serious about it, you are going to need to put down at least 1500 most likely.

I'm not up to date on laptop hardware. How much are you looking to spend?

Just bought this for my wife for school.

It would work well as a decently priced gaming laptop though.

Look around, probably find it cheaper
