Looking for gaming laptop 1250$

[Peter Lazar]

I'm looking for a new laptop and i have narrowed down to these options:


1)Sager NP8235 (Clevo P151SM1) http/www.xoticpc.com/sager-np8235-clevo-p151sm1-p-5840.html 1219$

- Sager - 4th Generation Intel® Haswell Core™ i7-4700MQ (2.4GHz - 3.4GHz, 6MB Intel® Smart Cache) (SKU – SPU201)
- NVIDIA® GeForce™ GTX 770M (3.0GB) GDDR5 PCI-Express DX11 [User Upgradeable] (SKU – GPU001)
- 8GB - DDR3 1600MHz Dual Channel Memory (2 SODIMMS) (SKU - S4S423P)
- 750GB 7200RPM [SATA II - 16MB Cache] (SKU - HDD099)
- 8X Super Multi DVDRW/CDRW Combo Drive (Dual Layer w/ Software)
- Sager - Built-in 802.11 Wireless B/G/N - Stock Wireless Card + Bluetooth™ 4.0 (SKU - WIFI99)

2) Sager NP7352 (Clevo W350ST) http/www.xoticpc.com/sager-np7352-clevo-w350st-p-5842.html 1089$
- 15.6” FHD 16:9 LED Backlit Wide screen (1920x1080) Super Clear Matte Type Sager Screen (SKU - S1R324)
- FREE! - 30 Day No Dead Pixel Warranty
- Sager - 4th Generation Intel® Haswell Core™ i5-4200M (2.5GHz-3.1GHz, 3MB Intel® Cache)

My budget is 1250 $ fixed.
Basically Sager NP7352 has an i5 4200 , gtx 765m ,120gb msata, killer 1202 WiFi other than that it is similar to np8235.
I want to be able to game at 1080p at ultra/high 30 fps for the next 2 years.
Do i really need the i7 4700mq ?


There is a refurbished GT60 2OC-022US for sale on amazon would it be dependable and has anyone any experience with tegra tech store . http/www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00CU9GKZ8/ref=dp_olp_refurbished?ie=UTF8&condition=refurbished

if you can save a little more look into this http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152404

I've got the gt60 2od and it plays everything I can throw at it.

The CPU will help. i5 is a little weak,especially for heavy games (BF3,4, Crysis 3). The 770m is also a good bit stronger than the 765m due to a wider memory bus at higher resolutions. Neither will let you game at 1080p ultra for the next two years but the 770m may allow high or high/medium.

Looking at some of the upcoming game requirements , I think NP8235 would suit me better, I could probably get an msata later on. What about the refurbished msi ? Any thoughts ?
