MSI GL63 ($667.76)- 15.6", i5-8300H, GTX 1050, 8GB RAM, 256 GB NVMe SSD.

ASUS FX504 ($805.00) - 15.6", i7-8750H, GeForce 1050 Ti, 8GB RAM, 256 M.2 SSD.

Acer Predator Helios 300 ($829.99) - 15.6" 144Hz screen, i7-8750H, GTX 1060, 16GB RAM, 256 NVMe SSD.

Lenovo IdeaPad L340 ($850) - 15.6", i7-9750H, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD & 256GB NVMe SSD, GTX 1050.

Keep in mind budget gaming laptops aren't really portable (personal experience lol). Also you really just pay for what you get, but hopefully these might help! Given smaller storage on most of these, if you do go with one of them, I recommend getting an external HDD (hard drive disk, standard and slower than SSD, cheaper) or SSD (solid state drive, runs way faster, more expensive).

Since CAD work is most important I would recommend that you get a stronger CPU over a GPU. Look at the Asus FX50 which has a 8th Generation Intel Core i7-8750H processor which is better suited for CAD. Its GTX 1050Ti graphics card will run AAA games at decent settings well

A $900 desktop will destroy a $900 laptop, do you really need the portability?

If you don’t mind, I’m not too familiar with laptops, I just need something for school and gaming from time to time (WoW, single player steam games). I’m looking at this one and

> vivobook S15.

I would recommend a dedicated graphics card for Skyrim and the S15 doesn't have that. This Asus FX504 would be a much better pick.

Budget: 700-1200 CDN

Country: Canada

Screen size: any

Screen resolution: any

Touch screen: no

Weight: heavy is no issue at all

Main purpose of laptop: stream world of warcraft outside to get vitamin d

If you will be gaming, what are the most demanding games you will play and at what settings? literally just wow

Is battery life an issue? no it will be plugged in.

Other notes: streaming wow outside, just want a laptop that can do that comfortably and without any issues for a few hours a day. The catch is I'm gonna be outside so I thought maybe I'd need better cooling or something.

These gaming laptops will get the job done quite well in a cool package and 4 hours of battery life should be achievable if you're not gaming:

• Asus TUF
  
• Dell Inspiron 15
  
• Acer Nitro 5
  
• Dell XPS 15.6"
  
• Asus VivoBook
  
  The last two are a little slimmer and more business oriented meaning you'll get slightly worse performance in a slimmer, better looking package.

You can get the i7-8750H processor, the 6-core processor, for under $1,000 (it is a 45W processor.)

The ASUS TUF FX504GE has a GTX 1050 Ti + i7-8750H. It weighs 5.1lbs but it is the cheapest device with a 6-core 45W chip.

With that budget, a good option would be the MSI GL63 8SC-059 because it seem like you will be doing some gaming as well. but thats if you are willing to spend another $55 or so.
You could also check out this Asus FX504 Thin & Light TUF Gaming Laptop as an alternative.

Certainly close to the end of ur budget but it will certainly do the job you need it for.

I think fx 504 will be alright for what do you plan to play and do:https://www.amazon.com/i7-8750H-Processor-GeForce-Gigabit-Windows/dp/B07DY11M1F/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?keywords=gaming+laptops&qid=1566293088&s=gateway&sr=8-5

Hey, thanks again for your help. Amazon is having a huge sale right now. How do you feel about this or this?

They both have the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti.

Referring to this one.

These are what I'd consider mid to high range gaming laptops. The most important factor in looking for a gaming laptop is the Graphics Processor (Nvidia Geforce 1650, etc.). Do not get Integrated Graphics. Look at Benchmarks to make a comparison https://www.notebookcheck.net/

​

However, IF you don't need to mobility of a laptop, build a desktop instead, you can build a high-end rig for about $1500 if you spend enough time researching the parts.

​

Also, I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting Intel/Nvidia over AMD. (Sorry AMD fans) There are some games that do not play well with AMD because they use some proprietary software like Hairworks or PhysX and you can't disable it. Intel CPU because some software that requires Intel virtualization can't be run on AMD
