(Part 2) Best products from r/laptopgaming

The Best Buy one I would avoid, since it appears to use a low quality display. Not sure if other GL502VT models have that issue, but wherever you buy one from I would make sure it's confirmed to have the IPS display.

That said, I would try to get something with a GTX 1060 GPU. This is a pretty good value: https://www.amazon.com/GE62VR-Apache-i7-6700HQ-Geforce-Windows/dp/B01JN4JPA4/

If I observed correctly; you are trying to connect a vga monitor to a laptop with only hdmi. If that’s the case then you’ll need an adaptor “VGA female / HDMI male” and they are usually cheap.
I have one myself, which I bought on Amazon for 8 USdlls a year ago and still works pretty good. It’s easy to use and small enough to let me connect stuff on the sides (USB and Ethernet)

This is the adaptor I bought

(Sry if the link doesn’t works, that’s the one Amazon gave me for sharing, here’s the name of the adapter: “VicTsing HDMI to VGA Adapter Converter Gold-Plated for PC, Laptop, DVD, Desktop and Other HDMI Input Devices - Black”)

Sorry for taco English, not my main language and also I’m on mobile, sry sry

Well as far as a gaming laptop, you won't be able to get one for 600 euro. You'll be able to by a decent laptop that isn't geared towards gaming but more towards daily activities. But that decent laptop that you buy for 600 euros will be able to play LoL, Terraria, and Minecraft without any problems and likely at max graphics. Those games aren't to graphic intensive.

Here's a laptop off amazon that will run all the games you listed at max graphics without any problems. It's right around what you have to spend.

The Acer Nitro 5 is probably your best bet. You can get one with a 1060 and the i7 but it will cost significantly more. Even the 1050ti will run CS:GO at decent settings. I think this is the best you can get without paying $1500+ dollars. :D

I just received this one and to be honest with you it helped with my temps about 2-3 C. I have a dell g5 15 and the heating is so bad I get 94 C when I play anything and with the cooling bad I get about 91 C. So don’t expect a miracle unless your laptop has better intakes than mine.

I'm just not a huge fan of Sager laptops or any other rebranded Clevo laptops. They are too generic and plasticky. The ASUS will have better build quality and materials, longevity, warranty, parts, etc., which easily warrants the extra dough. Actually, with twice the RAM and an SSD compared to your config, the ASUS is a better value just for the performance.

Acer aspire VX 15
I have it since July and it's a beast, can run anything you throw at it and its an amazing workstation, helped me a lot with college video editing and science papers.
Here's a link if you want to buy it:https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-Gaming-GeForce-VX5-591G-75RM/dp/B01N12YZ7B
I recommend buying the laptop + game drive bundle because it's totally worth it.

If you’re able to play $200 more I highly recommend the 2019 Helios 300, it pretty stellar.. just picked one up myself. Acer Predator Helios 300 Gaming Laptop PC, 15.6" Full HD 144Hz 3ms IPS Display, Intel i7-9750H, GTX 1660 Ti 6GB, 16GB DDR4, 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD, Backlit Keyboard, PH315-52-78VL https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QXLFLXT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_9INiDb8QNSK9R

I think APU brings very middling experience for both work and gaming. I bought A10 laptop recently but decided to return it becaise it was neither very portable or good for even light gaming. I would suggest something like this: Acer Nitro 5 15.6" Gaming Laptop (i7-7300HQ, 8GB DDR4, 256GB SSD, Windows 10 Home) https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B071JLXGCW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_YsByzbEJ6ESAP

For anyone curious about the LED backlighting, that was also under $20. It’s just over 6’ long. It’s meant for the back of a monitor, but worked perfectly on my desk: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0796TLP4S?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

With a budget of $2000 you arent going to have the slightest problem finding an i7 with a 960m at least.

Heres the lowest model id recommend you with your budget. This is gonna play thing on medium-high 30-50's FPS ASUS K501UW-AB78 15.6-inch Full-HD Gaming Laptop (Intel Core i7, GTX 960M, 8GB DDR4, 512GB SSD) Glacier Grey


And heres mid range for your price
This is personally the one id buy if i had $2000. This will handle everything perfectly well on high-ultra, and leave you some money for software, etc
MSI VR Ready GS43VR Phantom Pro-006 14" Ultra Portable Gaming Laptop GTX 1060 i7-6700HQ 16GB 128GB M.2 SATA + 1TB Windows 10

I'm looking at this also. It's $2350 on Amazon compared to $2000 at Costco, so there's that nice "it's a bargain" feeling. I was hoping for reviews on Amazon, but there aren't any.

Did you buy it? I might take a chance on it, because Costco gives you 90 days to return it and the return experience is painless.

Amazon says that the SSD is "512GB NVMe PCIe SSD (256GB x2 RAID0)". I looked up RAID0. Apparently it makes the SSD even faster by simultaneously writing a file to stripes on the two SSDs instead of writing it to one SSD or the other. Apparently it doesn't diminish the capacity of the SSDs; it doesn't provide any redundancy / protection against failure.

My man, you should check this ASUS ROG GL552VW out ...

Great specs for a great price plus it's just got released a few weeks ago, annnnd it's an ASUS, you don't even need to check about cons with them

Listed in alot of websites but I got you an Amazon link
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01578ZKPO/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

I would buy this MSI, and add your own cheap HDD. The GPU is the most important part of a laptop and getting a GTX 1070 for your $1500 is the smartest move available.

I recently bought a new laptop for myself after consulting on reddit and am very happy with the purchase. You might wanna take a look at this regardless of your final decision. https://www.amazon.com/Omen-Laptop-NVIDIA-i7-6700HQ-Windows/dp/B01M8MRYBX/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1486469456&sr=1-1&keywords=hp%2Bomen%2B1070&th=1

I know its been a while, but I eventually decided on this, not sure about DS3 but it runs BO3 just fine. I recommend it for $800 range

https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GT63046-TITAN-046-Extreme-i7-8750H/dp/B07C94H7TL/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1543294517&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=msi+laptop+gtx+1080&dpPl=1&dpID=41d-RUOomcL&ref=plSrch get this one used for exactly 2000 these usally have good cooling to and getting it used doesnt change anything really
