You do have a gaming laptop, right Yea Forums?

No, I’m not a degenerate.

I travel around a lot and usually spend a year or two living in different cities around the world because of my job, my laptop is pretty much my primary gaming device, no way am I wasting luggage weight+space on a desktop, monitor, ect. I just wish there were more discrete options instead of the obnoxious portable spaceship designs.

I have buyer's remorse like a motherfucker. I really just want to sell it and get asmall I7 laptop with a good amount of ram and and m.2 ssd. Basically everything my gaymer laptop has except the GPU.

Anything """good""" for under a thousand?

No

Anything Lenovo related. They always have the cheap/powerful selection.

Acer

Wait for Amazon Prime day, or the back to school sales in August. Aside from the holiday season, mid to late summer is usually the best time to buy.

I don't even have a gaming desktop pc.

i use a 24" screen now, i can't go back to laptops

No. I have a T580 ThinkPad. Battery Life + low heat > raw power

what kind of laptop should I get if I mostly just want to watch movies on a flight? Maybe game at night in a hotel room and also I really don't want it to be loud.
No budget limits

I actually just bought one a few days ago. It's alright. I wasn't aiming for top of the line, but got something that seems to run most titles decently.

Of course. But I still own a desktop at home.

I do, my very best purchase so far. I'm never home, usually at my sister's or working, my desktop just wasn't doing it and was almost quitting vidya completely. Now I play anywhere, my sister loved it so much so I got her one too to play co-op vidya together

Definitely not Acer, mine lasted two weeks, the overheating was terrible and was damaging the cheap mobo and drives. Zero problems with my Asus.

>movies on a flight

Get a tablet. Any of the 10/10.5s will work fine. Anything larger crowds the tray tables.

I use a Galaxy Tab S when I fly. Whole library on the micro sd card.

>in college, bought a laptop that can play most games because there's outright no room for a desktop in my cubicle of a dorm

>can't get a monitor and plug it into that because again, there's flat out no room on my desk for both the laptop and a monitor.
At least I can play the majority of things, I was baffled that Ace Combat 7 actually ran since 2016 Doom doesn't.

gaming laptops now are better than ever compared to the meme machines of the 2000s. You shouldn't expect super powerful quality but it's definitely good as long as you're hooked up somewhere and use a cooling pad. You shouldn't expect portability but rather think of them as compact PCs you can easily travel with

Sager FTW

I'd like to game at night as well. Definitely not looking to buy a tablet. I hate those things for some strange reason. the tism I guess.
Also like to game at night.

main rig is for main games, this is for low level games like source and

Best I found was an nice Intel. It looked like a regular laptop and didn't have some stupid logo or rainbow led keyboard. Problem is its like 17.5 inches, so I look like a clown when it comes out to do work in public.

I was considering being a jew and getting this cheapo machine since I mostly just play TF2 and older games:

Though now I'm not sure because I could probably just save up a little more and get something infinitely better.

>thinkpad
Fuck off, /tpg/.

Can't afford a desktop and a laptop, needed a laptop for college.
Bought gaming laptop and connected it to a monitor and keyboard.
Can run every game so far that i've tried at 60+ fps, including sekiro and FFXV.
Bought a fan cooling system with 6 fans and 2600rpm for each fan.
Not bad.

just get a PS4 or something

I kind of want one just to play games at work.

whats your laptop?

dell g7 7588

i7-8750h
gtx 1060
16gb ram

The only issue is that the cooling pad is NEEDED. 8750h is known to be really hard to mantain it's temperature in laptops.

I am actually gaming on Accer Laptop with mx130 graphics card and I am still enjoying my games.

We tried to warn you they are a bad idea. You were cocky and didn’t listen.

A tablet, obviously. There are even plenty of decent mobile games.

You get the OP pic related for like 6 or 700 on Amazon. 1050ti is plenty to run games at 1080p at 60FPS or more. Just drop in another 8 gigs if RAM and a second HHD for maybe hundred more. They do get hot, but you can change the thermal paste for almost nothing and about 20 minutes of your time.

>Anything """good""" for under a thousand?
there's plenty of brand new devices with an i5 and GTX 1050, going for 800 bucks or less.

The online fleamarkets are packed full of previous generation devices, going for as low as 300 dollaroos.
I just grabbed one w/ i7 6700HQ, 16GB RAM, GTX 950 4GB and W10 Pro, for exactly 300 €, earlier this year.
