Gaming Laptop

[Bard]

Long story short, I have a gaming desktop already. I built it a few years back, and I absolutely love it! However, I am getting back into streaming and the way our new house is, it would be a pain to use the desktop for streaming and editing.

Does anyone have a gaming laptop or any suggestions as to what I should look for? My current laptop is a cheap Asus I got 7 years ago in college, and it is about on its last boot up.

Price range is probably around $800, but have a little wiggle room... obviously would love lower prices, but I am doubtful there is a decent gaming laptop for under $799.99.

It all depends on what type of gaming you want to do. If its FPS games, you need to play on a desktop or really expensive laptop. If it's just noncompetitive FPS or almost any other game, you can get something that will play some games. You'll have to lower settings and make sure you get a GPU in it, so it may not be worth it. If you have a desktop that is good, you probably won't like the experience.

Thanks for the response!

This is for more of the setting up the streaming from my consoles, and then doing the editing on.

Might be a little over your budget but the Predator Helios 300 is excellent for its price.

I dont have any specific suggestions, but As long as you dont mind playing games on low settings then most any budget gaming laptop should be ok for you, with emphasis on the processor for streaming.

The Helios Predator that was mentioned appears to be one of the best values given the components listed. Microcenter has it for 830.

That’s a good deal. You get an i7, 16 gb of ram and 1060 card in an ips 144hz monitor.

Small Ssd but you can do what I do and carry another ssd, put it in a case with a usb c connector and load up all your games on it.

I dont have a gaming pc, nor do I want to build one, BUT I would love to have a gaming laptop.

What would you guys recommend to play sports games on?
