T taogamer Honorable Dec 2, 2012 8 0 10,510 Sep 13, 2014 #1 My friend is looking for a gaming laptop to play games and do programming. He prefers something 15 inch. But wouldn't mind 17 inch. What the best around that price range?

Solution i7Baby Sep 13, 2014 Brand wise - stay away from HP and Dell - lots of problems and no help from them. Go for Asus, MSI or Lenovo in that order. eg MSI $1200 - http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152561 Lenovo $1200 -http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834317541

i7Baby Dignified BANNED Jul 25, 2012 2,277 0 13,960 Sep 14, 2014 #13 For gaming, the emphasis is on the graphics card. As long as the CPU can run it then that's it.
