Best Gaming Laptop for under $1800

[Jose12345]

I am selling my pc because I need more portability, but I still want to keep up the same level of gaming. I play everything from Titanfall to Diablo 3 and I want something that will be able to play all those games and more on the best settings. I see a lot of great games like Assassin's Creed V and Shadows of Mordor coming out this year and I want to be able to keep up with them. I don't need anything flashy or big (no extra lights coming out of the body), but I would like a 17" screen possible. I would like a blacklit keyboard but if that isn't possible its fine.

Thanks for any help you can give!

IF I had the extra money, should I upgrade to this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834231631

AND also, are any of the thinner, low-profile msi gaming computers any good? I haven't ever heard of how their products hold up.

Thank you for your quick response!

Asus will beat MSI laptops anytime man

The MSI GS series laptops really have no competitor in portability. ASUS laptops don't "beat MSI laptops anytime", they have their benefits based on utility.

If you're going to be taking the laptop everywhere with you, the MSI GS60 Ghost Pro would be a far superior option to anything ASUS makes, since they don't make a high-end portable gaming option. In fact, very few manufacturers do.

Do keep in mind that the GS60 laptops need to be sitting on a good cooling pad if you're going to be gaming on it for any extended period of time, as they like to get really hot from having a lot of power in a very small frame (.8" thin and weighing only 4.3lbs).

That's what I don't like about the MSI one so I did not recommend it.

I recommend ASUS ROG G751JT-DH72. It's a new gaming laptop equipped with new Nvidia GeForce GTX970M 3GB GDDR5, Intel Core i7, 16 GB DDR3, 17" screen, 1000 GB HDD and 256 GB SSD.

Try the Lenovo Y70. It's retail cost is around $1800, but if you wait till it goes on sale around $1450, and sometimes on their website it has a $100 coupon code you can easily get it for $1300-$1350. It's specs for that price (1300-1350) are as follow.

~Processor~ 4th Generation Intel Core i7-4710HQ Processor (2.50GHz 1600MHz 6MB) - with turbo boost up to 3.50GHz
~Screen~ 17.3" FHD LED AntiGlare (10 finger) Multitouch with integrated camera (1920x1080)
~Graphics~ NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M GDDR5 4GB
~Memory~ 16.0GB PC3-12800 DDR3L 1600 MHz
~Hard Drive~ 512GB SSD
