Best Gaming Laptop For Under $800

[dell44223]

Here is what I am looking for, If you would like to help me that would be great!
Best Price/Performance
Can play most any game at Medium settings
Battery does not matter.
Good Speakers
I am currently running a Dual Core Pentium Dell Inspiron 1545, and I have just build an i5 2500k desktop with Dual GTX 560's. I know I can't get the same performance as my desktop, but I need an upgrade from my Dell.

hey, IDK if this is an actual gaming laptop, but i just got an acer aspire v3-771g for $779 and it plays everything out. Maxes skyrim and places Dayz real well

EDIT NM I missed the title of the thread

this is true at $800

$800 gets a poor quality laptop with a dedicated card or a good quality laptop with an integrated gpu card. Look into amd's the A series. They might play new games on meduim-low settings.

Well, these are the best:

But you better go up to 850$ and get the Sager NP6165 with good FullHD screen, GT 650M, 8GB DDR3 and an I5:

I agree with this guy. Sager seems to be the hands down best performer and the price is incredible.
That'd be my buy, but then again I learned to never buy a laptop for gaming (for BF3 at High+).

If you can up the budget a little, it will get you a machine with GTX 860m GPU - Lenovo Y50. It is very good for gaming.

If not there's also the lenovo y40, although it has an amd Radeon 275

Look at Laptopmag recommendations: http://www.laptopmag.com/gaming-laptops They have options which start at $999.
However for this price tag, you might want to consider a desktop instead, you will have a better performance for your money. See Tom's Guide recommendations: http://www.tomsguide.com/us/best-gaming-pc,review-2219.html
