Question

Lightweight gaming laptop under $1200?

by Jun 18, 2016 9:46PM PDT

Right now I'm finding a gaming laptop (that weight around 2 kg / 4.5 pounds) that could play some games like csgo, overwatch, etc. and I want to do some school work with it. My budget is around Rp. 16.000.000,00 ($1200). Right now I'm considering HP Omen, but if there's other suggestion, please tell. Thanks for answering.

*8 gb ram is alright, hdd is alright (But if it has ssd it's alright too), 950m-960m is fine

Why the weight limit?
by r. proffitt Forum moderator Jun 19, 2016 9:09AM PDT

That extra pound could make it a far better gamer. I like the models like the ASUS ROG GL552VW-DH71 which met your price and delivered it all.

You should supply models you found in your country that met these specs.

Actually, I found a deal
by FlamingPixels Jun 19, 2016 6:48PM PDT

I found a deal early this morning in a buy and sell forum here. A GS60 with 965M around $1265. But I also found an HP Omen deal with the same price in HP's website. Should I get the gs60 or the hp omen?

Me personally, I will choose the omen cause it sells in the hp official site.

HP? No sale here.

I write a little longer at http://www.cnet.com/forums/discussions/which-laptop-is-the-best/ but HP walked on the warranty and had no solution to the bug that was in that model line.

Sorry HP, you lost me. I can't imagine others that fell for your products. That is, my office supplied a replacement and would students and others be so lucky?

laptops ~4.5 pounds

check if ROG G501JW (15.6"), Alienware AW13R2 (13"), and MSI PX60 (16.5") are sold in your country, they could be good fit.
