want to buy a laptop

[sagitel]

hi. i want to buy a laptop as the title said. right now i have a Dell inspiron N5010 (the i5 version) which served me well for the past 4 years and now i want to buy a new one. here the price for building a PC is way way higher than a laptop (for some reason) so while i want, i cant go that route. i dont want it to be expensive. mid way i but i want it to work for a long time. like the one i have right now. can you give me a tip?

oh and no lenovo or acers. i have had a lot of bad experiences with those two

Look into Asus if you want a decent gaming laptop. There's not that much to talk about when talking about laptops. Just make sure to get a cooling pad if you do get a laptop, or your laptop will constantly overheat. My best suggestion to you is to wait until a brand has a megasale and then buy, because you can save like ~$200 or more by just buying at the right time. Some tips for checking out deals would be to check out kotaku/moneysaver or dealzon from time to time.

I bought my laptop at Costco, and Costco requires all manufactures to give a 2 year warranty, so Costco can be a good place to go if you don't want a laptop that you'll have to replace in < 2 years, but you also don't get a wide selection at Costco either.

I 2nd Asus Laptops. I have an old ROG gaming Laptop from them and it still works great. They can be a little pricey, but they are worth it, I have had mine for 8 years now. Definitely get a cooling pad though. I went low tech and use a couple ice pack rolls with a sleeve under mine(when 1 is thawed out I switch it with the one in the freezer). Not the best solution, but it works for me.

How about a Clevo?
