Looking for a gaming laptop

[chatcher1993]

I'm going away to college this Fall and don't really want to haul my desktop to campus so I'm looking for a laptop I can run games on like high settings comfortably and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. My budget would be at right about $1300. Obviously the lower we can keep that number the better.
Thanks in advance.

Do you need any specific software?

Thanks, I'll have to mess around on that website for a bit. I appreciate the help, and quick response.

 

[oddaaron00]

You are very welcome.

 

[chatcher1993]

Another quick question why did you choose that one over the FANGBOOK III BX6-100 GAMING LAPTOP
-Thanks

 

[oddaaron00]

No reason. Do you want me to customize one from that base model?

Oh that's okay I'll play around with it a little more was just curious if there was any real difference between the 2.

 

[oddaaron00]

It seems that the one I customised is of better but similar parts. I think that's the only difference though.
And good luck.
