Hey,

Any gaming laptop you can advise me to buy?

I have no budget as of now, though I cannot buy Razer as they don't sell that on my country, and not customizable laptops unless you see a big benefit from it.

Another question - should I wait for the 700 series ? How long is the wait going to be for the end card series to be? Just an estimation..

Every comment is much appreciated :)

Best regards,

Roei

I bought a $1000 laptop for gaming and it was unimpressive. A year later, I sold it and bought a desktop. I realized that my laptop just sat on my desk and never moved, so why didn't I buy a desktop? It's a lesson I won't forget. (wasted money)

If you don't need portability then go desktop. A $1000 laptop competes with a $600 desktop.

I won't recommend a laptop cuz experience taught me that gaming requires a desktop unless you play games that
came out 4 years ago.

Actually, no my PC is currently very powerful and you are probably correct as my monitor is 2560x1440 and nowhere close a mobile graphic card will be able to perform as needed under that resolution...there's something that makes me want a laptop though, I am probably doing a huge mistake as it's either upgrading to a Titan or getting a laptop and I know it's going both to extreme ends so I am not being sure right now...

Laptops cannot compare to a desktop with price per performance. With that said.

I have a Lenovo Y500 I7 with 2 GT 650 SLI and i can play all of the new games @1080 on high or ultra. Max pain 3, FarCry 3, MWO with 30 plus FPS or more.

All for $869.
