Gaming Laptop Recommendations (Student)

[Jeontop2]

Hey guys.

I was wondering what laptop is fit for between $1000 - $1500.
The range being such a standard gaming laptop one, I know there will be controversy.
I, myself, have been researching as well but I could not choose one or the other, having ambivalent feelings here and there.
Hopefully some expert recommendations will do well.
Thank you!

Edit: (If it matters) Budget increase to about $1650 and down.

What kind of games do you play?

I like to play GTAV, Cs:go, LoL, Minecraft,

Mostly just mid to high end gaming ones, but I've also only played those because my system is a limiting intel graphics 3000.

Hopefully, I will play some graphically "better" games.

*MSI GS60 2PE

If you only go according to the specs , Aorus X7 V2 is a killer, but if you want a overall gaming machine, MSI's is a decent options as well. Just go through the reviews and specs and see on which area can you compromise. Personally i'd recommend MSI GE70.

These are quite the find.
THank you for helping.

I have just a quick question. I personally am attracted to the GTX 970 cards. Is there a large difference between all the 860's and the 960/70s?

Thanks in advance.

800 series were initially supposed to be the Nvidia's new desktop GPU series until they skipped that and launched their 900 series. In the meantime they launched their 800M series, which was designed for laptops PC's. Ofcourse 970 is better than 870M , but it would be unfair to compare these two graphic cards as the mobile one will always operate at lesser clock speed due to the thermal constraints. But it is still one of the best mobile GPU's available in the market.

Thanks for you answer abhisheksscorpion!

Lastly, any idea why sager seems to offer so many better deals compared to other large brands like MSI and GIGABYTE.

And I can't help but to be curious why Sager seems to offer just overall better specs.

I have no idea on this brand, neither did i see any of their laptops recommended in any of the reviews of the best gaming machines out there. It maybe the case of my knowledge limiting my thoughts but tbh i've never heard of them especially as far as gaming laptops are considered maybe that is because of the fact that where i live, this brand is not renowned. If you have sufficient knowledge about them, you can go for it but i recommend getting a brand which specializes in this category with the best after-sales service.
