Looking for an Affordable Gaming Laptop

by BusyLiving10 Dec 6, 2009 2:47AM PST

It's about time I get a new computer and since college is coming up, I'd rather get a laptop then lug around a desktop. I am getting into PC gaming and I'd like to get a laptop that runs newer games well but doesn't cost an arm and a leg. The highest I'd be willing to spend would be $1600. It also wouldn't have to be from a huge brand name either.

In the 1 to 1.2K range you can find gamer laptops. The remaining bucks are put into the 4 YEAR WARRANTY or set aside for repairs in later years. Look at others to find laptops do not age well. Even moreso for gamers and those that carry the laptop around daily.
