Sub $800 Gaming Laptop

Nein. My laptop cost $3000 (apparently, I got it as a present to take to college) and it's not exactly the greatest beast to roam the Earth...

I'm sure if you looked hard enough, you might find something but beware of scams and false advertising.

I might be mistaken, bu there isn't a good gaming laptop that's under $800.
Have you considered a customized desktop instead?

I use a laptop for gaming but it's just a regular laptop with pretty nice specs. Cost me $2000.

Why are you considering a gaming laptop?

Depends on what do you want to play AND on what settings.

3000$ gaming laptop is like 1000$ PC, i mean portable gaming for 800$ best you can get is smartphone...

There is no such thing as a gaming laptop for 800$ they are called multy media laptops. Unless you call something that might be equivalent to a 550 ti a gaming device.

I realise that there aren't any phenomenal ones. I already have a perfectly fine desktop, I was just wondering what the best one you've come across is

Just buy a desktop, take apart the case, mount a monitor in it, and then buy a really big battery pack.

Problem solved.

Also, any 'gaming' laptop under 800 isn't going to be that great.

what you want to do is create a really small desktop and carry around vga dvi and hdmi cables with you and ask for people to donate monitors to you wherever you go not sure if you can carry aound a small monitor to :P but there's no such thign as a cheap laptop unless its free

The $779 model comes with a AMD Radeon 8850m which is lowered clocked desktop AMD Radeon 7770. The cpu is also a solid i5, but it is a dual core instead of quad core. You should be able to play every game on at least medium settings. That is probably the best you'll find for under $800. Unless you absolutely need something portable, I would get a $800 desktop instead.

Dell Inspiron 5737 17.3",Intel Core i5-4200U/4GB/500GB/AMD HD8870M 2GB GDDR5/DVDRW/Cam, Enjoy, might be more than 700 $.

My laptops a Dell Inspiron with i5-3210M 2.5ghz processor, 6GB RAM and 2GB AMD Radeon HD 7700M. I picked it up for $650 on sale from Dell.

Lenovo IdeaPad Y410p, Intel Core i7-4700MQ, 8.0GB PC3-12800 DDR3L SDRAM 1600 MHz, NVIDIA GeForce GT755M GDDR5 2GB, 749$.
*edit: It's Weekly deal, the original price was 1,299$

add 400 bucks and voila... dual vga +hdd 1tb combo ssd + i7 + 16gram lenovo ideapad y510

Yes there are, just look for promotions.

I stick to 500$ for my laptops, and they are all 1000$ ones on promotion.

Gaming what?

Lenovo Y400s are pretty solid for the price.

Asus G74sx-bbk8. I had that laptop for about 2 years and it performs very well, but I never took it anywhere and it just sat on my desk. So I just decided to scrap it and custom build a computer. Haven't regretted it since

I bought a refurbished Asus G72GX off of newegg for $728 back in the beginning of 2011. It plays almost all current games with the graphics turned up pretty high, a lot of them maxed. Only problem I've ever had with it is that sometimes, dust will build up on the heat sink fin-things and I have to open it up and clean it out. Other than that, it's been a great gaming computer.

SG+ down, too lazy to linkify.

800$ low price

$800 won't get you much.

I dropped $2400 on my Alienware 18 laptop with dual 770m graphics cards. This thing can run BF4 on ultra settings.

A Good Gaming Laptop is going to run you somewhere in the $2000 range at the very least.
