New Gaming Laptop?
- Thread starter Rival
- Start date
build a M-ATX pc instead of a ATX one that way its small enough to carry around to LAN parties but still packs a punch.
a rough idea for you is this (the psu is a little on the large side but i could not find the old AX650)
the things you might want to change are the CPU if you dont plan to overclock, GPU if your an Nvidia fan boy, the case if you want something a little different and the RAM if you can find something faster MHZ wise in Dual Channel specs. also i never add keyboard and mouse because thats going to come down to what you like/want but if it was me id be looking at a mechanical keyboard with some cherry black or blue switches. you might also not need the 256gb SSD and may want to get the 128gb version to save some extra money but id keep with the samsung 840 pro series tho.
the screen shot list would be pretty much the way i would go tho depending on your ssd size needs etc

Sorry but your never going to find a gaming laptop with 10 hour battery life even under light-moderate use, you might get 2 or 3 while playing if you are lucky.
And finding an empty outlet at an airport? Good luck with that! So a gaming laptop is very impractical if you plan on taking it with on a trip. They are big, heavy and when away from an outlet don't last long.

i was just showing him the sort of thing he could get with that sort of money.
i never said that he had to buy it lol
512x512 is possible. I would use that if my PC could handle it ^^
Good luck doing that on a laptop
Not planning to.
Do you even lift? They are not that heavy much lighter than a desktop. I may have been exaggerating on the 10 hour battery life but I can always find an outlet in the airport its not that hard! Its not just airports being able to just sit down anywhere and play your games is pretty sweet.
Who would do that!
