You wont get a good laptop for $800. That only leaves one option.

Why not work a bit more and delay the idea of buying anything atm,


Because for me it will always be a laptop since I travel a lot and I can carry it with me all the time ( also not a heavy gamer )

This might be stupid and a bit off topic however, if it was for me, I would wait a bit more until the release of asus zenbook pro UX550
A big expensive laptop however with GTX 1050ti, 1t SSD, 4k Display

Depends what you do with it. If i chose a laptop I would buy a well used laptop, they can go really cheap. For example i got mine for 300 euros and there's nothing wrong with it.

Saif chill, you've got a fine PC and all you do is play League and MC. I don't think you need a new one.

I wouldn't buy/build a pc rn. Gpu's are massively overpriced due to crypto farming. But you can definetly build a good gaming pc for 800 dollars. Ryzen 5 or ryzen 3 (idk if it's released yet) and a gtx 1060 shouldn't be more than 400 usd. 75-100 for a b350 mobo, 128gb ssd, 16gb ram. About 100 left for case and psu.

16gb ram
If you're on an $800 budget going for 8gb would be a lot more reasonable.

I really want a laptop to carry it where ever I want and whenever i want. But I hate laptops cuz it has a small screen and the keyboard is to close to the screen. I already have a benq 27 inc monitor with Logitech speakers and i wannt the new razer keyboard and the razer mouse is cheap, what im missing in the setup is the cpu. My question is can a laptop act as a good cpu for 60fps on lol and cs go also randers video quickly? If the answer is yes please tell me which laptop since I know nothing about them and my budget is 800-1000 USD

There are way better brands than razer if you're looking for a new mouse and keyboard. While razer products function completely fine and dandy you usually either pay more for it or have some kind of issue on the software side. If you want a new keyboard and mouse you should ask yourself what you need first. Getting things just because they're the newest is usually a waste of money.

If you're looking for high performance and quick video rendering laptops really aren't an option. Laptops sacrifice performance and cooling for being able to carry it around. With your budget and what you want building a pc is really the only way to go.

Get a Logitech mouse (G502 is excellent) and a Corsair keyboard. Razer is crap

If you want to render videos then definitely go with a ryzen cpu over intel cuz more cores. But if you really want a laptop then you need something like this https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Predator-Helios-GeForce-G3-571-77QK/dp/B06Y4GZS9C/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=prime-day&ie=UTF8&qid=1499739418&sr=8-1&keywords=predator+300&&linkCode=sl1&tag=tdw00-20&linkId=271790502fd8a4d337dcc73cb8f4c4bf

If your goal is to get 60 fps in csgo you can buy both, and still get 300 fps on a pc.

you can literally build a pc that gets 300 fps in csgo, and then have enough to get a laptop that pulls csgo on 60.

Alright, guys, everything you've said was perfect thank you, now forget about the pc stuff and I want you to suggest be some laptops.

Acer Predator Helios 300 <3 [gonna recommend the others using this one as a reference point]
HP Omen [pretty much cheaper but worse. Less powerful processor and graphics card, less ram and smaller ssd size. Does have a 1tb hdd tho]
Asus GL553  <3 [bit more expensive, worse graphics card but you do get a 1tb hdd]
Sabre 15 [the asus gl553 hardware but more expensive]
MSI GE62 [don't buy this one. No ssd, worse graphics card]
Dell 7567 [compared to the omen it has a worse preocessor and better graphics card. Also bigger ssd but no 1tb hdd]

tell me which one is better and if there is a laptop I didn't list just tell me thanks.
I'd go with the Acer predator and buy an external hdd, or if you don't wan to do that i'd go with the asus gl553. If i had to choose between the cheaper ones i'd pick the dell and get a external hdd. Also the hp omen is refurbished (2nd hand)

Acer Predator Helios 300 IMO is not the best option.

Heavy laptop ( well shouldn't be mentioned I know because all of em are heavy )
Runs Hot so easily when it comes to heavy using / gaming
Small battery


Actually I don't know what can be good to you from the list you wrote above.

800$ won't get you a decent laptop to game with, you have to spend at least another 300$ to get for example Sabre 15

Like I have a name of laptop in mind atm ( that a friend of mine been using for some time already ) Lenovo Y520 but its a bit expensive I guess
ASUS FX553VE is also decent
ASUS ROG STRIX GL753V

The laptops I've mentioned شقث over the badget you've mentioned before, however has a decent graphic card, GTX 1050ti, with 1t hdd and 128-256 SSD, USB Type c, i7-7700HQ

Well you don't buy a gaming laptop for it's battery size. The Lenovo and gl753v you mentioned have a 1050ti and 1050. Those are 4 and 2gb cards compared to the 6gb 1060. Also the Lenovo has no 1tb hdd and no i7 processor. Couldn't find much info on the fx553ve.

You should compare the lenovo to the other 2 cheaper laptops you've listed. The gl753 isn't worth it.

Post by: Saif Nawaf on July 29, 2017, 09:19:06 am
So that makes the ASUS GL753VE most recommended.

17.3-Inch
GTX 1050ti (4gb)
i7-7700HQ
256GB SSD + 1TB
RGB Keyboard
Orange color matches my theme


thank you guys and especially Lars and Ameer for the help <3
