Laptops made with higher end parts generally don't have heating up problems like the cheapy laptops.

 

I've gamed on laptops only for the past 4 years, without any cooler or any issues.

Had a 580M GTX in first one and current one has a 780M GTX.

 

Heat is no problem.

 

Laptops have higher thermal threasholds vs. desktops so while 60-70c on a GPU for a desktop might freak you all out, on a laptop, those are great good temps. Laptops are designed for normal op temp on CPU/GPU to go up to upper 90c before they are considered "overheating" with 100c being the "something is wrong" limit.

 

That said, looks like a decent spec laptop.

 

You will have to play on Medium to High if using 1080P to maintain decent frames with 860M but after all it's just your away from home machine :)

For gaming laptops i would recommend the asus g751. Best cooling system, incredible performance but expensive. It can be hard to get a hold on Asus RMA, just take that in mind aswell.

 

a downside to the g751 is it got IPS panel, great for colours, bad for gaming.

I enjoyed my g750 with 780m GTX for a loong time. eighty fps on high, full hd and laptop didnt get hot! The dual fan system works wonders and are quiet

POOPOOPOOPOOP!!!

 

New laptop came today, loaded up BF4 and fraps, updated everything and launched game. To my surprised it was running 65 FPS...then I checked the Video Settings in Game...running a lame-butt Medium. Cranked it on up to Ultra and FPS dropped to 35-40.

To top that off the hard drive is smaller than advertised...so it's going back to Amazon.

 

Resetting to factory specs as I type....

Looking now at a Super Kick Butt Laptop....Originpc.com has some really "exotic laptops" that are reasonable...Under 3K and I can use for both home and away. Tomorrow once I sober up I am going reconfigure my computer with OS on my 1T SSD and moving everything to a USB harddrive so I can sell my main unit for 2500....here is a break down of my system and cost....

 

Aluminum Case                        100

1000 watt PS                            250

4770 I7 3.5                               300

Asus Z87                                  150

2 x Zotec Omega GTX 970      500

32g Memory                             150

Win Pro 7                                 125

1T SSD                                    650

H100 Water Cool CPU            125

Sound Card                             100

3 x 23" monitors                      400

 

equals                                   2850

 

Not counting assembly and testing...

 

 

Wish me luck!

I recommend Sager/Clevo laptops (which that site sells re-branded some of).

Sager is the USA distributor but resells them to a lot of other companies that re-brand them like Originpc.com does.

Clevo does the same thing and is the actual manufacture but they sell to other countries.

 

You won't find anything with better price for performance and they are a major brand for gaming/performance community. Most people haven't heard of them but they have been around a long time.

 

Just you want to buy from a reseller not direct as is cheaper.

 

Someone like XoticiPC.com who I've used 3 times before.

 

Check out http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np8268s-clevo-p150sma-p-6987.html?wconfigure=yes for 15 inch

http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np8278s-clevo-p170sma-p-6985.html?wconfigure=yes for 17 inch.

 

They don't look all fancy and shity but they run great with dual fans and all. They also have 30 days 100% return (minus shipping). No restock fee like most places.

 

You can get a 980M GTX with 8GB (Yes 8GB, fuck those desktop fuckers hah!) and all for around 1.6k but if you're like me more ram and 2nd to highest CPU will adjust that price on ya hah.

 

And everything can be customized. They are built to order machines, not pre-built boxed up shit.

Warranty is really cheap too. You can get 3 year for $150 bucks and they cover everything, 2way shipping and they don't even void warranty for opening or swapping parts! I would say GET the warranty. One part pays for it and they will often mail you the part if you don't want to mail in the entire machine.

 

I can probably get you another 20 bucks off the price if you don't do any other discounts too as referral as I used in them in past but they offer military and student discounts as well as cash discount if pay by check/money order.
