Yes! Laptop gaming saved! [highlight](User was banned for this post ("meme snipe" - Orkel))[/highlight]

12 minutes of battery life, also good luck playing anything in native resolution.

Why do people buy gaming laptops? Who actually needs to go somewhere to play video games? For $2,500 I can purchase a desktop setup at least twice as powerful.

Why buy a laptop this expensive when it will go out of date and there's nothing you can do about it

razer pls go

i swear that the only way razer stays in business is that they make so many fucking retarded products that people will buy at least one of them

And you need to wear a heat resisting suit to play on it.

Didn't say it was necessary. Or economical for that matter. Just think it's pretty cool they can shove all that into something thinner than a dime standing up. I think no one can say that isn't pretty cool.

One time years ago when I was still into PC games, I took my laptop to a LAN party at a mate's place. Setting it up was no dramas; pop up the lid, plug in a wired mouse and plug the power cable in. They laughed because my laptop didn't play games very well. But the combined power draw of everyone else's deskrop computers caused temporary blackouts, and so everyone else's computers shut off but mine. Guess who was laughing then. Also, people who need laptops for other reasons (work, study etc) and yet like to play PC games might find it easier to have a single high-performance laptop, instead of both a laptop and a desktop.

I need a laptop for college and is like it to be able pump out a bit if gaming, not that I expect to be maxing things out, but I'd like to be able to play some here and there without much of a hitch. Though this won't be my first choice. I'm looking at an Msi right now. Asus isn't offering the. 800m on a 15" model. Though I'm not sure it matters too much since it's for school first.

I was stuck with a laptop until the reorganization of my room.

Gaming on a laptop is as nice to have as gaming on a smartphone. Portable gaming is always great to have, especially when you can play PC games portably. But I do think that "high-end gaming laptops" are a gimmick. They cost a bomb, prone to overheating and the battery will last about 10 seconds. It's probably going to weigh a ton as well. If you want a laptop for gaming, find a normal looking one with a decent graphics card. If you're using a laptop for gaming you don't need the game to look photo realistic, you want it to be playable and also playable for at least a couple hours

I don't think I could play a game with a keyboard like that.

Weighs like 4 pounds and has a ridiculously long battery life. But I completely agree with the price view.

I don't think a qHD display on a 14 inch screen is the best idea at the moment, on a laptop at least.

I bought it ): you guys act like this is some terrible demon. I'm using my tax check to pay for it so no guilt. Also I move around often so having a desktop setup would not be fun for me. Also I go to friends houses and play movies off my current one. I'm excited because this will be lighter, thinner, have a nice case, and be much better for games. My current laptop does great with games but the recent ones that are coming out choke up a little. Also I bought my current laptop for 1000 new(got a deal) and it's with 1,600 new 1,400 used online. So once I sell this one for 1,200 to a friend I will be getting a much better laptop for a larger half of my tax return. Also desktop computer have to be plugged in 24/7 so I don't see why battery life should matter? If you're expecting to be mobile playing high res games for an extended period of time without an outlet then you are a fool. When I play games it's always near an outlet, and I do work if traveling on power saving settings. So really this laptop for me is going to be so amazing. Also the resolution and touch screen is just icing on the cake.

The resolution is just going to butcher the battery life though. Also most of the money will probably be spent at the display than the internals, so you would have better gaming performances plus battery life with other gaming laptops.

Not sure what it's called in US though. I need a good processor for rendering videos, and that GeForce will be just enough to handle some medium range gaming.

come on razer still using mobile cpu sockets? [url]http://www.clevo.com.tw/en/products/prodinfo_2.asp?productid=452[/url] fullsize sockets represent [editline]23rd March 2014[/editline] no sli no buy

My Vaio will run Far Cry 3 at 60 fps at near-maximum settings not sure what you guys are shit-talking laptops for

I bought a higher end laptop (it was on sale, sue me; also tax return) because I go to college and have long hours between classes. My current laptop struggles to run Netflix without crashing. I just wanted something with more power.
