Kotaku Gift Guide: Gaming Laptops

Gaming laptops — this is bound to get messy. Some folks love the portability of PC gaming on the move, others don’t understand why you wouldn’t just spend your dollars on a desktop machine, where you get far more back for your buck. I’m keen to hear from all of you. Which do you prefer? Would you consider buying a gaming laptop and, if so, which model?

Money To Burn


New Razer Blade
The New Razer Blade is about as good as it gets for high spec laptop gaming, but considering desktop options at a similar price point, you’d have to be committed to portable gaming to pick this one up. $2,699 is no joke, but this may be worth it if you have the money to burn. One of the best gaming laptops on the market. You could spend more than this, you could always spend more. But this could be worth the dough if you’re willing to splash out.
Price: $2699

A Man of Moderate Tastes


Alienware M17x
A lot of people seem to be liking this one, and it might just be one of the better value gaming laptops on the market. It’s still pretty pricey at well over $2000 but it’s less than you’d normally expect to pay for a laptop of such beefiness.
Price: $2199

The Cheaper Option


DreamBook Power M98 SLI
It was actually our publisher Danny Allen who suggested this: a powerful machine with a great price point. This laptop has not been branded for gaming. At no point does its logo glow green, and there isn’t a ‘z’ in sight. Very nice set up for $1499.
Price: $1499
