4hour+ battery life on a gaming laptop? two hours is more likely.

Why lenovo hate?

Does it HAVE to be a laptop? You could get MUCH better bang for your buck with a $700 gaming PC and a $400 working/travel laptop.

This would be my laptop suggestion. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834231089

Here's one with good portability

Large screen, 765m, mSATA, thin, and Xotic have great customer service.

And while staying under the 1500 budget, you can also grab some cooling upgrades through Xotic.

hi everyone thanks for answering lummus maximus ive been looking at that laptop but might deicide to go with ashycfc decision but is there a less heavy laptop?

regards morgan

Gaming laptops tend to be 17inch in size due to their custom nature in terms of design.

This leads to heavy laptops, It's possible to find a 15.6" gaming laptop though.

are there any 15.6 inch laptops you recommed

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152406 - This is a good one to look at it's 3lb lighter than the ASUS.

AshyCFC :

hi ashyCFC the asus looks very good but then the msi is very good to if you were to choose one what one would you choose?

If weight is an issue the 15.6" MSI

If it's not, the 17.3" ASUS

For portable gaming laptop, check MSI GE70 Apache Pro-012. It has NVIDIA Geforce GTX860M graphics.

If weight isn't an issue, check MSI GT70 and ASUS ROG G751JT-CH71. They both use new NVIDIA Geforce GTX970M graphics.
