Gaming Laptop $2.1K Budget

[rodrigolc]

Hello people, my nephews birthday is soon and he's turning 15 so I wanted to get him a dank gift. I talked to my brother and he told me he is into gaming and stuff and needs a gaming pc! So he can play games like LoL, Witcher3, CS:GO, Minecraft, Rust, etc. It doesn't matter if it is on ultra or not so don't mind that, minimum can be medium settings (on games like witcher). A laptop that caught my eye was the Acer Predator 17 for $1970 and the specs are:

Screen Size 17.3 inches
Max Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 pixels
Processor 2.6 GHz Core i7 6700HQ
RAM 16 GB
Hard Drive 1000 GB SATA
Graphics Coprocessor NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M
Card Description dedicated
Graphics Card Ram Size 4000 MB
Wireless Type 802.11 A/C
Number of USB 3.0 Ports 4
Average Battery Life (in hours) 5.5 hours

Before buying anything I was wondering if I could get an even better gaming laptop for around that price. Any help would be appreciated!

Kudos!

Why not just buy PC parts and build it or ask someone to build it? for 2.1K$ you can build a Super powerful gaming PC which can handle 4K High settings 50-60fps 60hz, 1080p 144hz ultra settings or 1440p 144hz high settings 60fps. also keep in mind that desktops computers are always more powerful than a laptop.

i would suggest a cheaper laptop because travelling or visiting someone with a 2.1K$ laptop sound a bit dangerous and unnecessarily. check this out https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Predator-G9-591-70VM-15-6-inch-i7-6700HQ/dp/B0161CFBEU

If he already has a powerful pc get him a weaker laptop so he can taste the bitterness other people taste
something like a lenovo Y50-70 ?
