Gaming/Business Laptop in 800$ Range
 
Hi guys! It's been awhile and I thought... "Oh Graal would be a great place to ask these questions, instead of looking at reviews from people I have no clue of"
So I'm looking to purchase a gaming type laptop in the 800$ range, I've so far come up with this one. Any ideas or better suggestions? Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Looks good to me. Comes with 8GB and can hold 32 Ram. I wouldn't really think you will need more than that but if you do you can get more in it.

yeeeesh 800$ and a 950?

I can't believe I'm actually recommending Alienware but the specs are better and the price is basically the same.

It really depends on what kind of business it is that you are into.

Graphic Design
Accounting
Bakery Shop?
Instagram Model???

Also, what kind of games you want to run, because a laptop just isn't quite at that level yet, and you could be saving money in the long run by just getting a desktop.

So questions are: Which games do you want to play and how well? In which area do you work in? and Do you constantly have to take your laptop to work?

Thanks for all the help. Used for photo editing, some film and digital media stuff too. But mostly for casual use. Games would be far cry, battlefield and anything else I might fight at GameStop that's newer and cool as **** looking graphics. Not a huge gamer but I'm trying to get into it.

The laptop I recommended would probably last you at least one year with ultra graphics and then probably two more years~depending on your preferences.

Why only a year? Seems like a really short lifetime

A year on max graphics, if they progress, which they most definitely will.

You'll still be able to run it on lower settings like high or medium for a really long time though, but for a laptop, you won't do much better $$ wise.

Ah ok I see, well thank you!


The more and more I think... Better bang for your buck to build a desktop from ground up. I don't have a monitor or any of its accessories (keyboard, mouse, ect.)

The Lenovo definitely is the best I could get for the price range. The dell is nice but the screen not 1080p steers me away and with it only being 13"

If you don't need a lot of storage I'd get something with an SSD instead.
