Looking for the best available gaming laptop

[darkestwrath15]

Hi Tom's geniuses!
I'll try to make this short and sweet. I'm a college student looking for a gaming laptop which is also aesthetically pleasing. I'm in Berkeley and my classmates have beastly laptops. Sadly my budget is 1-1.5k and I was hoping to get as good if a deal as possible with my money. I have researched for two days and I'm beyond confused please help!!!
P.s- so far I have liked the laptops on sale by xotic!
Ty in advance!!

Hi Since you like what xoticpc offers check out the Sager. A 860M should be the weakest graphics card and a 970M would be better!, try to get a SSD for OS, and keep the other chrome and cling to a minimum. You can get all this for a $1500 budget, just. Sagers have good thermal and noise management, although are a little less physically robust than the Asus.

This one would be the best

I like the Asus one, but it has no SSD :< Not trying to be a picky tool but is that a compromise I'll just have to make? Also can I easily get one attached later in the future if I save for it? Cuz I prefer that the OS run on a SSD while games on HDD

I might suggest that with your budget, you can build a superior gaming desktop with some funds left over for a small portable for classes.

Haha yeah ur dead on, but I have a good gaming PC. I can run two games on max aide by side no probs. But now I'm at college majority of my time and I love to game on my free time. So the need of a laptop is pretty high in my current situation

Should have everything you want with a 17" screen. You can get it in 15.6" too.

I would have bought that one myself if I had not decided to build a small desktop.
