How much is your budget for your gaming laptop? You can find cheap gaming laptops here http://www.topg4u.com/best-5-gaming-laptops-under-1000/ . Choose one with at least i5 processor. Of course, i7 would be the best for gaming.

hey thanks for the reply, I really don't want alienware as I have always viewed them as overpriced and that websites good but I really don't want anything shipped over from anywhere or anything to do with post, just wondering if anybody know of any good deals.

my budget is maybe 30k and I want a i7 4th gen with a reasonable graphics card and over 4gb ram, iv seen a few in computer plaza but still thinking over what to do

thanks

I saw a guy selling his MSI gaming laptop on CM second hand FB group a few weeks back. It had good specs, probably would play 10-12 games on Ultra and the last two years on a mix of high settings.

Do not get a 4th gen (haswell) in a laptop they heat up too much and will not last long when gaming as you will be very near the maximum TDP of the chip.

That will inturn cause CPU throttling which will slow your performance down.

I would recommend 2nd gen (sandybridge) the reason being is that the 3rd (ivybridge) and 4th gen chips use thermal paste between the silicone wafer and the lid.

The 2nd gen uses fluxless solder which conducts heat far more effectively.

That's my opinion anyway, my 4770K tops out at (60c) when gaming and is watercooled with dual 120mm fans in a well ventilated tower. In a laptop I guess you would be in the 90's which is pretty much the danger zone.

I don't think you can match these specs within your budget ... until, perhaps four, or five, months from now.
