Robbie626 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Hi guys, I am currently interested in PC gaming and wondering what kind of PC laptop I should invest into gaming. I am looking at about $1000 since I won a scholarship. However, I would like to be able to do school work and working on my website as well. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Davis Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Hey, I thought that money was for your education! Oh, wait, gaming may be educational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Well, Firstly you say you after an gaming PC, So an desktop or laptop?  What kind of games that you are into and what other things then just gaming. I would by the major things and then over time upgrade with updated specs. I pick an motherboard that will support future CPUs. And no matter what Have Intel 😛 Yet again ryzen has became the top of all tops this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantanoice Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 They already said they want a laptop. You may be able to get an Asus Ultrabook for around that. They do alright in my experience. However if you want something as beefy as a PC you're looking at $2000-3000. 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander. Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) 1,000 dollars is a good budget to have in mind, I've been doing some research and I've gathered some parts just over your budget. You can purchase the parts from Amazon directly and here is the link if your interested.  Here are the specifications I've added to your shopping cart for you. It's 93$ over the budget you have mentioned. Have you already purchased a PC, does it suit your needs and is it fit for purpose?

Yarik Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) @xXInfectedXx I think that the poster was looking for a laptop instead of a desktop PC. Also, I would not recommend the list you created. Having this cooler with a locked CPU is somewhat wasted money. And the PSU - the green CX series (non M) are bad quality. You can also use PCPartPicker to find parts from multiple retailers at different prices. Edited December 4, 2018 by Keranov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I have been looking at a Msi GS63 which around the $1000 dollar price point you looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 If you want out of the box devices then Alienware laptops can be a good start. Xiaomi's shark series phones are also good. So they can be a good gaming devices this year. Then again I always prefer to go with the gaming custom builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 There are quality gaming laptops on Ebay, Amazon and other online retailers for less than one thousand dollars and they are great for mobile gaming and productivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I think some of the time custom built options are good and some of the time you have to go for the laptops which are tested with the configuration in the pre built and customized one. That's what I have noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 CyberPower PC offers some very good pre-built PC options if that's what you're going for. That's the only one of the top of my head that gives you a good bang for the buck in terms of price to performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I have yet to see the cyberpower PCs in terms of the performance so can't really much talk about those type of the PCs. I'd say if someone on youtube has posted positive review about them in such context they can be good to check out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially because some of those builds aren't going to be optimized for a specific purpose. Usually it's always better to go and make a custom build.  But yes, I agree with you on the laptops part. Always go for brans like Alienware with Laptops killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Not sure of the ACER though, I have mostly seen the ACER laptops meant for the low cost office usage. And it seems like for the office users, they seem to have got the market with those low end PCs and laptops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
