Best gaming laptop

[ridd21]

So I've been looking at getting a gaming laptop. I want one with a ton of power willing to go around $3800 and I want it to be sli/crossfire. But here's the kicker I would like it to be good to carry from class to class in collage. I've looked at the Alienware 18 but I heard its weight makes it a pain to carry. I also looked at the Origin laptop that is sli only to find out it's not being offered anymore So my question is are there any other sli laptops around that price out there? Cause I'm struggling to find them .

may i ask why you insist on sli/crossfire?

Because if I'm going to spend what I'm wanting on a gaming labtop I want it to last the longest. My Desktop is Sli and honestly I can't stand not to max a game settings and I would like to be doing that 3 years from now or close to it.

$3800 for a laptop? Seems incredibly excessive. You would be better off building a $1500 desktop and buying an $800 / $900 laptop like a Lenovo Y500 - you'll save a ton of money and you'll get the best of both worlds. The problem with spending that much money on a laptop is that the far more expensive laptops will depreciate in value incredibly quickly and then when you go to sell it, you'll get a mere fraction of what you paid for it.

I have a gaming desktop also. So I don't really need another haha The degree I'm working on is to do 3D graphics design so I want some power to the laptop the $3800 is the most I'd spend cause it's how much money I have left over on scholarships. But ultimately I want as powerful of a gaming laptop I can get for around that price. Also I wanna note I travel a lot from my dorm to visit family' and friends and so fourth and carrying a 60lb desktop and a monitor gets old quick haha

Use AVADirect and build anything of your choice.

you can get great performance without sli. a razer blade is an unbelievably powerful laptop that runs cool, is very thin and light, and very portable.

I've looked at them but I don't see a razer blade running titan fall maxed out or anything in maxed in a few years. If I was going to get a single card laptop I'd get the msi dragon edition 2 or the origins one but I'm 100% set on sli to be honest.

True! :lol:

Well if you want power there's always Falcon Northwest: http/www.falcon-nw.com/laptops

Falcon Northwest sells Clevos (the chassis on which Sagers are based). I cannot think of any reason to buy a Clevo from Falcon NW besides the paint jobs it offers.

Your main choices are Clevos, MSIs, ASUS ROG, and Alienware laptops.
