Need a laptop for gaming

[Annthrax]

Okay guys i would like a couple suggestions on a laptop i would at least like it to be 15.6" in the price range of 800-900$ if we can do that. I dont need anything else maybe a hdmi port but thats it i want a laptop for gaming and if we can anything on Bestbuy.com ? If not thats fine but i would like to find one on there if we can thank you! Also if someone wants to inform me on what dedicated graphics card would be best. Also the only thing i really dont understand is the numbers like 500-9000 and all that for laptops. I have a current laptop with 512mb it is the samsung R580 it does play SWTOR but only at 20FPS its kinda laggy any suggestions or anything would be great guys thanks.

This is probably best laptop for gaming use in $800-900 price range -> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834246221

It will be faster than your current one but hard to say anything specific. Guessing about twice as fast in games. Main difference to your current laptop is two years newer processor and graphics chip.

849$, it's a great price and the gpu is even for gaming, unlike those gt 550m's

And refurbished with only 90 day warranty. But yeah, if you can live with that, it sure is more powerful.

Yeah, be careful with the refurbished laptops. There are alot of horror stories under the "reviews" section of multiple RMA's and taking weeks or months to actually get a working computer, however if you get a working one it's awesome. Just gotta get lucky!

As the site says under reviews most of the time for refurbished, if you're not tech-savvy, it's best to steer clear, as drivers will need updating, some hardware / software might need tweaking, or you just might have to RMA it 3 times til they send you a "new-ish" one.

Depends on the company refurbishing the laptop, if they do what they say they will the thing should be tested to shit to make sure its fully working before they send it out. You can get a lemon even if you buy a brand new product too.
