Most powerful laptop for ~1000$?

SougoYo · Jan 20, 2014

Things like size and design don't matter much to me, I just want the most powerful laptop best suited for high performance tasks like gaming. It can go a tiny bit over 1000$, and if you can find a good one for even cheaper that would be awesome.

Thanks!

How about one of these? All come with decent GPUs (for gaming) and decent displays (a general issue in today's market) at the same time.

- Remember to select Windows under Operating System unless you can get a copy for cheaper. Default option is No OS.

ASUS N56JR-MH71 (NVIDIA GTX 760M, 15.6" 1920x1080 matte) - $999

I'm leaning towards the latter two. Do you have a preference?

Also, sorry, I'm not a huge techie, but the Lenovo (999$ model) has 2 graphic cards? Will this improve gaming performance a lot?

It's known as one of the best budget gaming laptops. In terms of performance, I think it's either on par with or better than a geforc 770M.

LummusMaximus :

You're referring to the Lenovo laptop? Yeah it seems really good for the price right now, really considering it. Do you know what type of games I'd be looking at being able to run/fps/settings?

LummusMaximus · Jan 20, 2014

It should do newer titles at medium to high settings.

SougoYo · Jan 20, 2014

Ok... I'd like to keep browsing but this seems like a good option.

SougoYo · Jan 20, 2014

I have a question for the Lenovo laptop. Since it is a dual graphic card setup, will most games be able to benefit from mobile SLI?

Edit: Also, I realized that Newegg.com doesn't ship to Canada... is this the very same laptop? http://shop.lenovo.com/ca/en/laptops/ideapad/y-series/y510p/?sb=:000001CA:00003713:#techspecs

LummusMaximus · Jan 21, 2014

Yes, it's the same. The Lenovo site just offers more configurability.

just FYI, the sager has the same graphics card and costs just over a grand

rico22 :

Is this laptop's performance considerably better than the Lenovo's for gaming?

chromenut · Jan 21, 2014

SougoYo :

nope, its actually around 20% worse

750M SLI - 3DMark11 4634 PTS

765M - 3DMark11 - 3565 PTS

edit : for 1200$ you can get 755M SLI version of Y510P on the lenovos site.
