Gaming Laptop?

[Yung Dirt]

What's a good laptop for gaming + music production & video editing?

I was originally looking at a Razer Blade Pro ($4,900) but after seeing the price & track pad placement I started looking at Alienware.

After checking out Alienware I settled on a maxed out "15 inch (around $3,500), then I looked at Razer again & now I'm torn between Alienware & the "14 Razer Blade ($2,400). Feel free to suggest other brands & models (Large storage & screen size is a must).

Alienware ($3,500) Specs:
Win 10 Pro
Intel i7-7820HK (Quad-Core, 8MB Cache, overclock to 4.4GHz)
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1070 with 8GB GDDR5
32GB DDR4 at 2400MHz (2x16GB)
1TB PCIe SSD (Boot) + 1TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s (Storage)
Killer™ Wireless-AC 1535 (802.11a/b/g/n/ac + Bluetooth® 4.1)
Weight: 7.69 lbs
+ 4 Years accidental damage service.

Razer Blade ($2,400) Specs:
Win 10
Intel® Core™ i7-7700HQ Quad-Core Processor with Hyper-Threading 2.8GHz / 3.8GHz (Base/Turbo)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 GPU
16GB DDR4 @2400MHz
1TB SSD (PCIe M.2)
Killer™ Wireless-AC 1535 (802.11a/b/g/n/ac + Bluetooth® 4.1)
Weight: 4.10 lbs

The extra 1TB, "1.6 inch & warranty draws me more toward Alienware...
BUT the price, weight & design draws me toward Razer. Thoughts?

No But I'll invest money into a quality computer... I've been through 4 Laptops since 2013 & I don't wanna have to upgrade for at least the next 3-4 years.

Get the Alienware, it'll last longer. I had an alienware laptop for like 4 year (m11x). They get a lot of hate on here, but you can find some good deals and products with alienware.

They good , but over price for what they offer in specs. Better off with an msi or asus.

Which laptops did you use?

Which laptops did you use?

Toshiba, Dell, HP, Acer.

HP had Harddrive failure
Dell was slow
Toshiba everything broke
Acer headphone jack broke + overall build quality is trash. Trackpad also was faulty from factory, I sent it in for replacement (2 weeks no computer) and they repaired ONLY the headphone jack.

+ I'm out of space on my current laptop (3GB left of 500GB) so it's really time for a upgrade.

Toshiba the left click came loose, headphone jack broke, then my mom dropped it & broke the screen. Gave the Dell & Hp to my fam & I'm still using the Acer, but i just started looking at MSI within the past day... and they basically got the same specs for $1,800



I stumbled upon this Reddit page about a hour ago that does all the groundwork for you:

Don't bother, laptops are horrible for hours of gameplay (if it is your intention to play games on there)

For everything else, any laptop will do, but if you want to play games, just get a PC.
