Sleek yet Powerful Gaming Laptop for College Macbook with Bootcamp or something else?

[Tommy Lin]

I want a sleek yet powerful laptop for college. I will be heading to college in september.

I have a budget of $2000 but can go a bit over

Should i just get a macbook pro and use boot camp to play the games I want to play?

I feel like a macbook pro is the only laptop that meets my demand for a "sleek yet powerful laptop"

I want a simple laptop without all of those flashy alienware lights and crap.

Are there any laptops that meet my demands?

Should i wait for this: http/www.anandtech.com/show/7647/gigabytes-new-aorus-sli-gaming-notebook ?

is it a good choice?

Lenovo makes some pretty nice gaming laptops - the Y series, IIRC.

I have a Lenovo Y500, love this laptop, I would definitely second this suggestion.

Although that Gigabyte one looks very sweet, I would get one if I had the cash. :lol:

I'm waiting for the new Lenovo Y50 laptop to come out, check it out
edit. macbooks tend to be overpriced for their actual performance.

Yeah, the keyword is 'sleek'. If you want thin and light, try the Razer Blade- some Apple engineers helped design it, and it comes more powerful GPU than any MacBook will. In terms of design, think black macbook. The ~8 hour battery life is great for a gaming machine. Only two problems with it- screen isn't the best, 1600x900 resolution, and the storage maxes out with a 512GB mSATA SSD. It's fast, but the 1TB capacity of a MacBook isn't there.
