The Blackangel Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Money is no issue for this question. What is the absolute best gaming laptop available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagger Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I know you said money is no issue, but I would still avoid any laptop that claims to be capable of 4K gaming. On a screen the size of a laptop's, 4K resolution is pointless and will only serve to make the laptop more expensive, torture its battery and be louder and heavier than it needs to be.I've told @skyfirethe same thing, I would recommend the laptop I bought near the end of last year, the ASUS TUF Gaming FX505DV, at least as a minimum, a place to start. I would say you will have to by another storage drive though, so consider that when it comes to pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If money is no object then your choice would be in the region of these two. Exibit A being for your 4K graphical fidelioty nerd: Exhibit A Then exhibit B for the framerate e-sports nerd: Exhibit B In my ideal scenario you would have the hardware and cool secondary touch screen form exhibit A but with the 17.3' 1080p 300Hz G-Sync display from exhibit B.

skyfire Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Here are some of the recommendations: AMD based ASUS Gaming Laptop : ASUS TUF A17 Intel Based MSI Gaming Laptop: MSI GE75 Raider Both of these are 17'' laptops. Both of them have the 15'' variant as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikey Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Those are really expensive laptops! I would never buy a laptop that much because they can still easily break and they don't last that long. Let us know what laptop you end up buying! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she (and by extension anybody) is then I don't recommend it because Nvidia's 3000/AMD's RDNA Navi 2 series GPUs and AMD's Ryzen 4000 series CPUs are right round the corner these aren't going to be the top dogs for much longer anyway.

The Blackangel Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 I bought a laptop. All I have at the moment is the receipt, as the store didn’t have any in stock. But it will be here Tuesday. So when it gets here I’ll post some pics of it and the specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shagger Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Can't say I'm shocked. A hand built desktop with similar specks and screen would probably be around $2,000-$2,500. The thing about laptops is how the value alters the more powerful they are, you have to spend a lot more to get a bit more. Mine, for example is not much more expensive than a desktop equivalent, but the more powerful a laptop gets the more expensive it becomes compared to a desktop counterpart because they need higher speck cooling systems to stop them overheating in the much smaller frame a laptop has. It's still a good buy. Congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
