You should have no problem playing CS:GO on that laptop. Other GPU intensive games(Assassin's Creed Syndicate, GTA V, etc.) will give you some trouble on max settings, but you can always make adjustments where necessary.

You might be able to play less graphically intense games on medium in 2-4 years, but the bulk of AAA games will be out of reach on that rig. If you significantly reduce resolution, you might get a little more out of it, but whether that's worth it is up to you.

There will absolutely be mobile versions of the 1070 and 1080, though they may or may not carry the M distinction. All signs point to an late July to early-mid August release. Glad I was able to help.

It's legit. About as good as you'll find in that price range with a QHD and portability.

There are soooo many options out there. You may want to go to: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/forum-13.html That's the forum on here for PC Gaming as this forum is laptop discussion. Not saying no one here can help, but the forum above is a better fit for your question(s).

The 2015 is FAR superior than the 2014. A lot of times, the difference from one model year to the next can be close or relatively insignificant. Definitely not the case here.

In that price range, buying anything else would MAYBE give a negligible upgrade over what you have. The i5's available in that price range are pretty much equivalent to your current i3. Hope that helps. If you have any other questions or need clarification, just ask.

Just an opinion, but MSI and Sager/Clevo are the 2 best gaming laptop brands. With any gaming rig reviews, you're going to see a mixed bag. Most crashing issues come from overclocking, which a lot of people don't specify they've done when writing a review. Personally, I'm a Sager/Clevo guy...

Performance difference between what you listed and 2016 laptops in your price range is negligible. I can go into detail if you want. Don't want to start talking technical specs if you just wanted a broad opinion. Just let me know.

Depends on what you want to use it for to some extent, but with the info you've provided, the Acer is the better of the two. It has more RAM and the i5 is better than the A8.

The 970M is definitely better. The 4720 is slightly better than the 6700. Sager is a legit brand. Right up there with MSI.

https://www.amazon.com/Dell-15-6-Inch-Quad-Core-i5-6300HQ-Processor/dp/B015PYYDMQ 10 hour average battery life(not while gaming) and decent gaming specs. $800. Let me know if you're looking for something more/better.

Sorry about that. The 965 is slightly better than the 960. The 4720 is slightly better than 6700. On standard tests in their respective categories, the 965 and 4720 don't win every test against the 960 and 6700, but overall they are slightly better. In short, the second laptop you listed is the...

Just to clarify, the 970m will consistently get you between 30-60fps. Under light conditions in game, you'll even exceed 60fps, but under extreme conditions you'll drop to the low 30s. Just want you have realistic expectations of what you'll get out of it. Not sure what other games you're...

970M won't get 60FPS with GTA on Ultra. Only current GPU in laptops that will is the 980(not to be confused with the 980M), though under extreme conditions in game it could drop to the upper 40s.Only other option that will consistently run over 60fps is SLI(2 graphics cards), though that will...
