I'm begging you for suggestions. Please

[jerm3993]

I NEED a laptop for college. A good laptop that I am okay with bringing into every classroom to take notes. I've been researching for 2 weeks and I'm sick of it. I need a laptop that can game. I would love to have a gtx770. Must have fourth gen intel of course.
MUST have decent battery life and not weight 500 freaking pounds.
PLEASE give me suggestions. Anything. I've heard 510p is good and i've also heard it overheats, sli sucks, and battery life sucks. I need a good freaking overall laptop, so please help me before I tear my hair out.
budget: no more then 1500 range. PLEASE HELP ME I'M BEGGING YOU

Why are you so dead set on a 4th generation Intel? 3rd generations are great, and even 2nd gens are far from becoming obsolete. You might be able to save money and maybe get a even more powerful machine if you go with an older CPU

Because, technically, with the new haswells, battery life should be greatly improved.

[someguy827]

the only thing thats better about 4th gen is longer battery life

 

[jerm3993]

Bam, that's beautiful for college. I'll take it. Now I need suggestions for laptops.

 

[someguy827]

the Valkyrie CZ-27 seems to be the best sub 1500 dollar laptop

 

[jerm3993]

meh, it's too big

 

[someguy827]

so do you want a 14 inch laptop?

 

[jerm3993]

I want something that doesn't weigh so much. A 14inch laptop would be great, but im fine with 15 and 17 as long as it's light.

 

[someguy827]

you can't really get a light gaming laptop.

 

[jerm3993]

THere have been a few that have been coming out.

i was in the same situation as you, then i realized that gaming laptops are a complete rip off. so now im building a gaming pc and using my moms three year old laptop for school.

I agree. Most gaming PC's try to "do it all", with ramped up specs and OC parts. However, this usually means they are heavy, bulky, have very limited component lifetimes, and look rather ugly (not true for all gaming laptops though). If I were you, I would get a cheap laptop/ultrabook (have you considered a tablet), and then as someguy827 said, build your own gaming PC. As a college student, this would probably suit you best down the road in case of hardware failure in either a PC or laptop because you will have a backup device to use.

You might have your mind set on a gaming laptop, but personally I think you would be better off with a desktop PC and if you can afford it, a cheap laptop with it.

A netbook would work well
