I am trying to find a good and fast laptop that I can occasionally use for gaming too. i want a good battery life and a 1080p resolution screen, the bigger the better. my budget is around 800-900$, do you have any ideas?
thank you

The new Dell Latitude 15 3000 brings the Radeon 8850M GPU and an I5-4200U which is a very capable gaming combination. Still no in-depth reviews, but the price is right and the Latitude line is a business laptops with usually high build quality. The 1080p screen quite nice and a much better offering compared to the one on the HP 15z-j100, for example.

For $550 currently, it is a steal deal in my opinion, making it the best performer for the price and even up to $750 including OS. For faster laptops with 1080p screen you’d have to go around $900 and get, for example, the very cost effective Lenovo y510p, which is also a good laptop.

The Radeon 8850M should deliver a performance level of the GT 750M GDDR5 to GTX 760M on average, depending on the game. So, it is a very good GPU. Don’t worry about the HDD, you could swap the 500GB HDD with some nice SSHD or an SSD and same for the RAM – just but an aftermarket 4GB module or a 2x4GB kit and replace the one in the laptop,
