    Need a gaming/everyday Laptop ($1700 Budget)

    Heading to bed this night, pretty late at my location (12:45 AM). I will keep checking this thread and helping you out as much as I can in the future, so keep checking back until you have reached your final verdict. Hope I've helped!

    Need a gaming/everyday Laptop ($1700 Budget)

    I'm not an expert on Ultrabook-level gaming laptop portability. I mostly just go for better performance with more heft than an Ultrabook, but not overly hefty, like an Alienware. There might be another option out there, but the thinnest high-end Ultrabook-level gaming laptop that immediately...

    Need a gaming/everyday Laptop ($1700 Budget)

    Updated my previous thread with a couple edits. Check them out. Also, yes, Sager would most likely be able to handle any other programs you throw at it, possibly excluding CAD programs (though I have never once used them and are therefore not sure).

    Need a gaming/everyday Laptop ($1700 Budget)

    Needing something thin and lightweight will definitely add quite a heft of money just for getting it a bit thinner/lighter than a standard laptop. Having seen other Sager/Clevo laptops, and this one alike it is thinner and lighter than many other standard gaming laptops, but not quite as...

    Need a gaming/everyday Laptop ($1700 Budget)

    We'll, if you want gaming hardware, the first thing you need to know is that Macs are NOT for PC gaming. Not nearly as many options are readily offered, and just cannot preform to the standards. They are meant for, and are excellent at, business/school, video/photo editing, and many others, but...

    Need Help Buying New Gaming Laptop.

    You do have two quite good laptops there. The GTX 780M is a really nice card, and when paired with the I7-4700MQ, can provide some beefy power. As can the other as well. Are you looking to play all these current high-end games on Very High/Ultra settings at 30, 45, or 60FPS+? Also, do you plan...

    I-5 processor or I-7 for moderate laptop gaming?

    We'll I prefer to stay at $900 or lower. GeForce GT 755M is plenty for me, and with an I7-4700MQ and 8GB of future-upgradeable RAM and a 1TB 5400RPM + 24GB SSD (even though small, the little addition of the SSD will help some with boot/load speeds), red LED backlit keyboard and Windows 8 64-Bit...

    I-5 processor or I-7 for moderate laptop gaming?

    We'll not really for me considering I personally would have to add the OS for another $100 or so and upgrade the RAM to 8GB, bringing the price to close to $1,000.

    I-5 processor or I-7 for moderate laptop gaming?

    I saw that post before but could only get to this site, with the base being $825 USD, which is still good, but it's not the $680 previously claimed. http://web.eurocom.com/ec/ec_model_config1(1,238,0)x

    I-5 processor or I-7 for moderate laptop gaming?

    Here is one laptop I'm considering. http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np7355-clevo-w350st-p-6465.html And at the pre-built specs. I'm thinking the GeForce GTX 765M would make up for the I-5 over I-7 for the processor. Take a look, I wouldn't be customizing that at all, just buying the pre-built version.

    I-5 processor or I-7 for moderate laptop gaming?

    Well it's really an open choice. I don't really have an exact opinion of model for either processor. I would like (preferably) 2.4 Ghz in the I-7 with Turbo Boost to 3.4, or like 1.8-2.0 Ghz on the I-5 with Turbo Boost to 2.8-3.0 Ghz. I can find some more info if you need it, but I'm not very...

    Hey guys. Buying a laptop soon, about $900. Looking for moderate/not intense, gaming performance. Should I get an I-5 Intel or I-7? Also, I'm preferring 4th gen ATM. Help me out please. I really only play Minecraft, Garry's Mod, Borderlands 2, things around that range. I know what I need for...

    Help with portable gaming laptop dilemma

    My first piece of advice: don't buy the Razer Blade. It's way overpriced for the specs offered. Secondly: For $1,400, the Gigabyte laptop is OK, however, I know of a Sager one that when customized, has a better graphics card, however no SSD (but one can be added for more money) at about...
