Badass gaming computers

Overall, though the G15 will be a better option for folks who often work on the go, the Legion is still a solid choice—and we have to give Lenovo props for the screen. Speaking of battery, we averaged nine hours and 16 minutes of work use between charges, which makes the Strix G15 far and away one of the longest-lasting gaming laptops on the market.

It delivers great battery life, and exceptional gaming on battery. The Razer Blade 14 is a heavy-duty gaming laptop in a light and portable chassis. It could even stay close to 60fps with ray tracing on.

Dell has also managed to cram that power into an impressively thin and sleek chassis. On the other hand, the X17 would not be a good choice to double as a daily driver though it did do well in our Premiere Pro testing.

The webcam is mediocre, and the touchpad is a bit small, especially for a inch notebook. Battery life only averaged around four hours in our testing. The Alienware X17 delivers outstanding 4K gaming performance, and manages to do so while keeping its impressively thin chassis quiet and cool. In short: if you use this in public, people will notice.

And the Strix comes preloaded with various programs to help customize your gaming experience. It still packs the top chips on the market and comes with a Hz QHD display, but at just 4.

In addition to its reliable gaming performance, the Blade 15 works well as a productivity machine. Our primary complaint is that this Blade got quite hot during our game testing. It has a more powerful processor than the base Blade 15, higher-end GPU options, and a slimmer design.

This slim At it's lightest, with a 3 cell battery and no optical drive, it weights under 3 pounds and stands 0.

Not much options for storage - you're pretty much forced to use a SSD. The performance is great but certainly it would have been nice if Lenovo included the option for larger SATA drives. Summary : The most slimmest lightweight black laptop you'll find, albeit with a big price tag.

Definitely agree - the new i7's are hit and miss depending on the stepping - the D0's are the ones to go for, where as a C0 doesn't have that overclocking headroom but it's still very solid. Unfortunately it looks like Intel is reverting to it's old ways of locked chips and limiting overclocks remember the old P2 and P3 days?? All AMD need is just ONE good i7 equivalent chip - they've been playing catch-up for the past 3 or 4 years now since the conroe's came out - so now with Intel stepping off the accelerator as it were, there's a chance for AMD once again.

Competition is great for everybody - just look at where ATi are now since Nvidia slowed down - they're right back in the game. Coolermaster do make some nice cases aswell, if you want an alternative to Antec that's definitely it. I still think that for gaming anything beyond a C2Duo is overkill - a highly clocked dual core is all you need with a badboy of a GPU.
