You going to be fucking playing video games in the mall or at 7/11 when you have to buy hot pockets?

Just build your own computer. It costs less than buying prebuilt.

>>337642208
For the cost of a good 'gaming laptop' you could get a good desktop pc and a functional laptop. 'Gaming laptops' are a scam.

>Mfw fell for the gaming Laptop meme and spent 2k on a Alienware one to boot

Getting my money back currently and waiting on my RAM to arrive building my desktop this thursday

Dont be a stupid fuck OP I've been more then capable to build my own PC but never did because I was lazy. Buying pre built shit aint worth it.
>>
don't do it OP, trust me I made this mistake.
I thought "hey, I need a laptop for college, might as well get one I can play games on too!"
Ended up keeping it at home and the keyboard attached to it was fucked from the get go, made typing papers a fucking chore.
Just build a PC and buy a cheap, $150 or so laptop as >>337642450 said

Never understood the gaming laptop meme, why not just get a 3DS/Vita (hell, you could get both along with a practical laptop for a fraction of the price of one of these scams) and use that for your mobile gaming?
>inb4 but it'll look bad
Nigger, you'll look like much more of a fucking tool playing some stupid MOBA and taking up tons of space. People only judge gaming in public if the person doing it is a fatass anyway.

If you really need a laptop, buy a used Thinkpad or something. I wouldn't spend the money on a gaming laptop. Just build a PC if you're looking to invest that much.

I play with my Macbook, and it's keyboard is perfect after 5 years. Say what you want about Apple, they make nice laptops.

I'm tempted to buy a new one with a better GPU.

Shit sux yo.
Thinking about picking up one of those MSI laptops. If I had the space I'd get a tower.

Build a $600 desktop rig with an i5 + R9 480

And this $600 laptop with an i5u + GT 940m
http://www.amazon.com/Acer-E5-573G-59C3-2-20GHz-GeForce-Bluetooth4-0/dp/B0105JD1HE

That's a decent desktop, and although that laptop is nothing near a gaming laptop it should still let you play shit like MOBAs and CS:GO and Overwatch and MMO shit

SFF mini ITX build bruh

I legitimately don't have a desk or way to mount a monitor my dude. I have my bed. thats about it.

>>337642208
Wait.

Polaris and Pascal both is more energy efficient and will quickly found their way into laptops.

Laptop OEMs are literally jizzing their pants with the space savings given by SSDs, which is dropping in price like a rock. Once you have SSDs matching HDDs in $/GB you know it's time to buy one.

If you have at least the space on your desktop for the keyboard and a monitor, you could just stick the SFF rig behind the monitor, something like that.

Get a Kensington cable lock or something, be creative. The only one that should know about the existence of your rig is your roommate in college.

I got a laptop just so I'd have something to play Vidya whenever I might travel. Now my pc is broken and my laptop is all I have. I'm too poor to get a new pc. ;_;
