Best cheap gaming laptops

Guide to buying the best cheap gaming laptops.
Gaming laptops are a niche product, and like most niche products, they are expensive. They are expensive, not because they have "special" components, but because they are made in limited series.
A gaming laptop (for games) must have enough capacity processor, enough memory and graphics system, and not least generous storage for games (roomy hard drive).
Apart from power, a gaming laptop should not be limited in any way, or have fewer limitations. For most of the time limitations are of heat, where processors have low frequency to operate at temperatures as low all the time. Therefore I do not recommend Ultra Low Power processors in a gaming laptop.
Gaming laptops components are the same that we find in normal laptop. The difference do accents of color, shapes and extra stuff (backlit keyboard).
Why does he need a laptop to be good for gaming?
1. A powerful dedicated video card
2. A multicore processor with frequency as high.
3. RAM sufficient
4. Gigabit LAN card (gaming network)
Yet we find on laptop = s normal, nor will cost us so much.
A gaming laptop on the 4000 lei pleaze up. We will choose less expensive laptops that will do the job as good.
Do not get me misplaced, not saying gaming laptop is not good, but that's too expensive and gamer does not have much money, unless your name Ion-Ion-T1r1ac.
To achieve our goal of buying a gaming laptop with little money, you must click a few buttons.
1. Choose a laptop with the lower resolution screen, to have fewer pixels pushed for the video card. So we choose a cheaper video card.
2. Choose a laptop without SSD, they are expensive and gaming is not mandatory. Anyway It can be mounted afterwards an SSD using a caddy like I did instead of optical drive.
3. Choose a laptop with a good processor, trailed at a frequency as high. Games like Gigahertzii.
After applying magic formulas, we have three winners. Two are very accessible and the third is slightly more expensive, the budget recommended enough.

  • Well yes . those M (Mobile) video "cards" are actually video chips pasted to the motherboard that use the ram memory of the ddr3 - 1600 MHz laptop.
    video cards with GT, GX termination .... whatever it is, are video cards on the slot (MXM, PCI-E) with own memory of gddr type (g-graphic) with frequencies from 4000 MHz upwards. this gives advantage in games.
    and in fact the final price of the laptop is high on the dedicated video card that slot.
    In my opinion anyway: you want games to the fullest, take your desktop capable.
    how about memory on the motherboard stuck consider a golaneala from suppliers. a memory chip fails only take my BSOD sites without can do something. we all know how often fall memoirs; Hynix and those on professional video cards fall.

    • stefan, What do you do when you have a video card GTX 860M? E slot or stuck on board memory or dedicated e share? M stands for mobile and refers to low power consumption, GT, GS, GTX refers to performance. Not necessarily excluded. GTX has 860GB 4M is stuck and is dedicated GDDR.
      I took the first option for an offer with 1650 lei and it is absolutely reasonable. 840M with 2GB dedicated DDR3 2000MHz as it says and the specifications cope brilliantly with entry-level games and more. The monitor is not the best but you get used to it. With this money + 600 lei SSD, 4GB RAM and caddy is the best. I could take the same configuration with i5 at 2GHZ (approx. The same perf. With i3 4000M) but it was 400 lei more.
      For those who want information see link processors will not automatically throw expensive processor versions that do not justify the price

        • I know that gaming laptops have some different features than office / multimedia; such as: better cooling with about 2, 3 fans in them, radiator and chipset, video card on the slot. now if you have a laptop with a "dedicated" video card glued video chipset to the motherboard ... you have no chance of a newer game running at a good resolution and an acceptable fps.
          and problems that can occur if you ask for more: peel off the graphics chip on the motherboard because of excessive heat.
          I only take my laptop with video chip on the motherboard soldering better gpu I buy a laptop with the processor. not even that it far longer.

    • It is not like that. Intel cards are the ones that have shared memory. AMD and nVidia cards have dedicated memory and are always specified. For example, the nVidia 960M has 4Gb Video Ram, separate from RAM. And that's not specific to gaming laptops. Any laptop that has nVidia or AMD (with a few exceptions here) has 2 video cards from the start - the integrated one that has shared memory and is used for OS (Aero, video players, etc. - Generally anything related to power saving) and the dedicated to gaming.

      @ big0ne - It's dedcata. nVidia does not have integrated video cards because it does not make processors. Only AMD has SoC (System On A Chip) But here too it is specified if it is shared or dedicated.

      Returning to the subject - the big problem with gaming laptops is that if you don't clean them regularly, they will crack. The heat generated in the limited space offered by the laptop case finishes any component in time, the HDD being the first to go. Pay close attention to this aspect, especially if you intend to stay with him in bed, on the blanket / sheet, to collect lint.

    • "2 Giga video card" is a kind of "4-wheel car".
      Matter:
      GPU
      Architecture (generation)
      RAM type, DDR and GDDR
      Bus Bandwidth
      Frequency Memory
      Cooling
      You can have a video card with "2 Giga" of 2000 lei or one of 200 lei.
      A cheap video card with large RAM is like a trunk Matiz with the truck. In vain have large trunk that can carry merchandise not too much, because it has too little engine.
      Manufacturers put a lot of memory on weak video cards that give the impression of being strong product. RAM is cheap, a few cents per chip. The graphics processor is more complicated.
      Over time I have explained many times I had the opportunity this stuff. Who saw them, had he learn.

      • Thanks for the clarification. Sorry I generalized the "2 gigabyte plate" I promise to be more careful another time. Too loud the analogy with "Matiz" :)))) I really have one and I had a lot of fun :)))

  • Hi, I leptop it. http://www.emag.ro/laptop-lenovo-ideapad-z5070-cu-procesor-intelr-coretm-i7-4510u-2-00ghz-haswell-fullhd-8gb-1tb-nvidia-geforce-gt-840m-4gb-freedos-silver-59-432529/pd/D2ZQRBBBM/ I bought them last October and all the games work on it for example to realize the performance of Crysis 3 on full hd played on medium works perfectly or on ultra details on low resolution like 1024X768 and it is an i7 with two physical cores and two logic in games the temperature varies between 70-75 degrees in games

  • Thinking about it, I really wanted to change my 8-year-old laptop with PM965 chipset, with a newer gaming one and I didn't know what to choose with FullHD or HD. I had set my eyes on an Acer with 840M and CPU with U, but I said NO to look. I had found one with 940M like Acer, but maybe the prices for a better gtx850M or so will decrease. Something can happen on Black Friday, who knows ...
    I saw the end in a tutorial laptop with good quality JBL speakers, a laptop deoarce say I old all go on it first version of XP without SP and has JBL and bestial sounds for a laptop (Compaq).

    • On the laptop's hard to have a very good sound. Indeed manufacturers are making efforts to improve the sound. I had a Toshiba speakers plus a subwoofer 4 and everything seems sound was poor.
      My advice would be to take a normal laptop and besides he put a bluetooth speaker that goes on the wire. A Bose Soundlink Mini for example. A speaker that can be used on TV and telephone.
      In recent years we have improved the image screens, internet connection speed, video quality. Unfortunately I forgot audio. All phones, temevizoarele, laptops and tablets hear exactly like hell.

        • Professional studio monitors are professional studio reference speakers. :-)
          They're good for:
          For those who want to tune their music and sound. For those who edit video. For those who monitors the sound of a production booth. Even for Intelligence, FBI, CIA.
          These speakers are not listening to music, in the sense of fun.
          If you want powerful bass or high, you'll have them. The monitors have a balanced sound and boring for most.
          Most people want speakers to demolish the house, his neighbors and crack plaster finish. I do not think anyone is loyalty Involvement and balanced sound.
          I use Sennheiser headphones to monitor sound some time as doing a tutorial. These headphones are perfect but terrible music monitoring.

          • I prefer studio monitors, I did not even 2 weeks but I want to see how it works. All right, I'm not talking to you, if you listen to music and what you said is pointless

  • Cristi, I bought the laptop: HP ProBook Laptop 455 G1 Quad-Core AMD processor-10M A5750 2.5GHz, 8GB, 500GB, AMD Radeon HD 8750M 2GB, FreeDOS. You think it's good enough for. games? I know no intel, but I go games on it now. What do you think about him?

  • It seems exaggerated to me to say about the Acer laptop mentioned by you that it would be for gaming, since the video card it is equipped with has a bandwidth of 64 bits. With such a video card, some games don't even think they will start. I don't want to offend you at all, but it seems to me that you want to present a mediocre laptop as "gaming", in the idea that many unskilled people will think: "Look what a cheap gaming laptop! Let's get it!". I have nothing against you making a profit from profits, it seems absolutely normal to me, but be objective and not misinformed!

    • I understand you and I'm not into games, but someone who is or claims to be, I think, is also informed about what he needs for his games. As a parenthesis, as they are not with games, I didn't even mention them '' The best multimedia, office, video editing laptops ..... 'you understand :). I don't think it should be proposed to address those who know exactly what they need, but for beginners, to have a base

  • Hi Cristi. I think that instead of acer this is better: LENOVO G710 laptop, Intel® Core ™ i3-4000M 2.4GHz, 17.3 ", 4GB, 1TB, nVIDIA GeForce GT 820M 2GB DDR3, Free Dos on the flank and with insurance 5 lei per month for 4 years any component.A little more expensive than acer but I think it's worth it.My opinion that a laptop between 2000 and 2500 lei is ok for almost anything, but .... everyone chooses according to his budget.I went on lenovo (top version) to your recommendation and I am very satisfied. Congratulations on everything you do. I am glad to have you by my side every day. And now I see much older tutorials.
