New Laptop

[Arctic Freeze 15]

So I'm going to be starting college here soon and I was wondering what the best Laptop I could get for Gaming and School work. I need to have enough space on it as well. Any suggestions are welcomed.

What is your budget? 

Preferred operating system?

What kind of games?

Do you want an onboard dvd/bluray drive or are you fine with buying a usb based one later if needed?

 

 

There has been previous posts about this, I suggest checking those

What is your budget? Max of $2000

Preferred operating system? Don't care

What kind of games? CSGO, WoW , and LoL

Do you want an onboard dvd/bluray drive? Don't care.

And I'll definitely check around to see if any other posts help. My laptops began to start to overheat so I'm looking to get a new one soon since the semester starts in 3 weeks.

Just take your desktop; unless you see your self playing games outside of your living area

 

You can do your own research on the cons of gaming laptops, but I would recommend getting a (non-gaming) laptop with specs good enough to run the programs and lab software you might need for school and that's it.

 

Carrying around textbooks plus a gaming laptop isn't going to be fun unless you want to invest in one of those roller backpacks

im with freekiller. desktop+ small laptop is totally the way to go. gaming laptops are basically lugging around small shitty desktops. Most inconvenient shit ever

^ What killer and skitt said, plus you won't be able to upgrade a laptop the way you can a desktop...

If you absolutely want a gaming laptop. Check out the Aorus X3. A 14 inch beast, great for portability, and gets the job done. I have one myself, and I love it.

ASUS makes fine ones, Razer has just about the best as well.  Also, the new Macbook Pro's (if you use bootcamp) can play CS:GO quite nicely. 

 

I have a powerhouse desktop and a cheap small notebook that I carry around.  I only use it to write papers, check emails and the news as well as watch videos.  It's great for me, but one day I would like to upgrade it.

The Eon15 x is a high end gaming laptop, and can definitely run any program you would like.

But, If you have the money, I 100% suggest getting a desktop for gaming, and a laptop for school work.

if your budget is 2 grand, take 1600 for a DESKTOP and purchase a chromebook for class, you get less distractions like that.
