Custom built SAGER. What I got. It's stronger than anything the others have to offer.

Damn. What kind of school do you go to? I had a broke down tablet when I went. Haha

Allsystemgamer4101d ago

I go to a film school. It was either I custom build a laptop or buy a Mac. And I HATE apples overpriced trash

parentoftheyear4101d ago

But they Sooooo shinyyyyyy. LoL

MidnytRain4103d ago (Edited 4103d ago )

Wow, those prices. Scam city. I don't know why people would want to forgo doing a bit of reading and time and buy a laptop than save a thousand dollars.

cellur1114103d ago

Some people need laptops to travel but also need a computer to game on.

MidnytRain4103d ago

I just can't understand how portability is worth the @$$ of cash they're asking for it.

cellur1114103d ago

They don't have to justify how much they charge for it because nobody else sells laptops with those specifications for less

imXify4103d ago

The price of Clevo laptops are the sweet spot. This one can play BF4 at ultra with no problem. http://www.amazon.com/Sager...

The Alienware equivalent would be 2000$+

MidnytRain4103d ago

Nvidia says the 770M is equivalent to a low-end GPU from 2011.

It's not bad, only a person with a lot of spare cash and no time to sit in the same place should consider one...

Vegamyster4103d ago

@MidnytRain

Low end from 2011 is something like a GT 630 or AMD 6570, the 770M is basically a underclocked GTX 660.

660 - http://www.geforce.co.uk/ha...

770m - http://www.geforce.com/hard...

I have the 770M and there are few games i can't run on high/max settings 60 fps 1080p.

imXify4103d ago

And the Radeon 8970M I have in my laptop is an underclocked 7870 or R9 270.

But I can still play BF4 at ultra very well ! :D

Allsystemgamer4103d ago

I'm a student. I use my laptop for editing, audio and 3d. I needed a powerful mobile workstation. It's also a gaming beast. People who are constantly up and about like these. And if they have the money why not? It's rather convenient being able to play AAA games on a train

pandehz4103d ago

''I just can't understand how portability is worth the @$$ of cash they're asking for it''

Thats why you will not and others will. There is a necessity at times and not everyone understands. You have to be in that life situation to know.

I had numerous custom desktops etc but I 'needed' a powerful gaming/work oriented laptop when I moved to another country for various reasons and made a conscious decision for it.

You will understand too if it ever comes to it.

I'm glad there are Alienware laptops.

MidnytRain4103d ago

I wouldn't do it even then if only out of principle. It's robbery.

Somebody4103d ago

I spent two years lugging my desktop around across a river to get to my work place every week. I finally give in and bought a gaming laptop when a tiny capacitor/transistor fell off the desktop. It's expensive but worth it thanks to its portability.

I used to avoid gaming laptops but that was back when the technology was still huge and require huge heat sinks. Today's heat/power-efficient processors coupled with games that aren't that demanding made me warmed up to the idea.

Even though I prefer to play on my desktop, this is my laptop:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/pr...

It was $1899 when I bought it. I prefer Sager over most but this MSI seemed like the best deal with a 780m at that time.

ninjahunter4103d ago

I like how people who have never owned an alieware laptop rip on them. Alienware is expensive compared to other brands, but they offer much more reliable hardware builds. I have seen many people who have overclocked their alienware laptops, since day one for 5 years, and they still work in top condition, where other brands usually only last 3 years at stock speeds.

GreenGamers4102d ago

So true! the build quality of alienware is amazing

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot1131d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw2501130d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface1129d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop1130d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno1130d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel1131d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps1130d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge1028881130d ago (Edited 1130d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k331130d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge1028881130d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH1130d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
