Cheap Gaming Laptops - Where To Find Them?
Copyright © 2009 Titus Hoskins.
As a general rule, gaming laptops are not cheap,
they are usually the most expensive laptops you
can purchase. If you go with a fully-loaded high-end
gaming machine from the popular brand-name makers
you will likely have to dish out 4 to 6 grand for
the top rigs.
However, since all laptop prices have been falling
at a steady rate in recent years, if you shop around
you can find a half-decent gaming laptop at a reasonable
price. Here we're still probably talking about $1500
to $2500 for a good quality gaming laptop.
Now, the main reason gaming laptops are so expensive
is because of the high-end components and high-end
specs that's needed to produce a superior gaming
machine. In a gaming laptop you need top-level
Graphics (CPUs), High Processor Speeds, tons of RAM,
high-end HD Displays and high-end optical drives
featuring Blu-ray and the like.
Of course, if you're buying a flashy brand-name
gaming laptop like those produced by Alienware or
Rock, you will be paying extra for all that style
and flash. Now, if money is no object, going with
these top brand-names could probably be your best
bet if you're playing the name game. Also keep
in mind, you don't always have to buy the really
expensive "flag-ship" models; going with an entry-level
gaming laptop from Alienware or Rock can make them
more affordable for the average gamer.
However, if you're on a really tight budget (and who
isn't these days) then you have other options when
buying a completely good quality gaming laptop. You
might not get all the "bells and whistles" but you
will get a fast, high-performance gaming machine
that will let you play the latest 3D video games
on your laptop.
Before you even begin your search, you will
have to decide whether or not you're ruling
out the possibility of purchasing a refurbished
or even a used gaming laptop. If you know what
you're doing, some excellent bargains can be had
with online auction sites like eBay. Just make
sure you thoroughly check out the seller and product
before you buy.
Refurbished laptops is another option you can take,
just make sure you have some iron-clad guarantees
or warranties if you're buying a refurbished gaming
laptop. Also remember, check around in your own local
area... in hard economic times many perfectly good
gaming laptops may be offered for sale. Check your
local newspaper ads and online places like Craigslist
to see if you can pick up a quality gaming rig at a
very reasonable price.
Next, if you're in the market for new gaming
laptop, there are several lower price models
you could consider.
Gateway P-7811FX ($1,449)
The Gateway P-7811FX is one rather inexpensive
laptop you should check out if you're searching
for good gaming laptop at a reasonable price.
It sports a 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8400
processor with 4GB, 667MHz DDR3 memory,
200GB 7200rpm, Nvidia GeForce 9800M GTS
and a HD-friendly 1920x1200 17.1 inch display.
Which is great value for your money and if
you're on a tight budget, you should consider
this one.
Qosmio X305 ($1,500 - $2000)
Toshiba has recently launched its Qosmio X305
series of gaming laptops featuring two NVIDIA
GeForce 9800M GTS SLI graphics cards. With Intel
Core2 Duo Processor P8400 and 4GB PC3-8500 DDR3
1066MHz SDRAM memory - this beauty can handle the
most demanding Direct X 10 games and applications.
Throw in Toshiba great 17" Diagonal TruBrite
Widescreen Display for full 1680 x 1050 (WSXGA+)
resolution and 4 Harman/Kardon speakers with a
Subwoofer and you have a good quality gaming machine
at a reasonable price.
Know Your Clevo
Furthermore, experienced gamers know their "Clevo"
- this is the Taiwan-based notebook maker ODM
(Original Design Manufacturer) who supplies many
of the Brand-name Boutique OEMs (Original Equipment
Manufacturers) like Falcon, M-TECH, Sager, Rock...
with the necessary components and models. By comparing
the prices on these Clevo models offered by the different
OEMs, you can find the cheapest price that's offered.
You can save hundreds, if not thousands off by shopping
around and finding the best priced Clevo.
These are just but a few examples of finding a relatively
cheap gaming laptop, if you're on the hunt for a good quality
gaming rig. But there are many more out there, so shop around
and cover all your bases.
Happy hunting!
