Can you pay 160k for my 2015 edition lenovo y50-70 with Intel core i7, 8gig ram, fullHD, nvidia gtx860m 2gig vram, 4hrs battery. Add me on whatsapp 08039117027 for pics.

160k for a Lenovo y50 is too much .. Rather buy from ebay
Re: Need A Good Gaming Laptop by DammyOlu123(m): 10:36pm On Nov 19, 2015
160k for this laptop is a complete steal. The price brand new is about 225k. As long as this guy is genuine, and you can verify the product, I would strongly suggest this. Except you don't plan on raising your budget.

Oh, I'm not doubting your authenticity, just telling him to use discretion, same as I'll tell anyone buying anything, especially online. I wasn't pointing anything at you in particular.

What most Nigerians call gaming laptop is a laptop that can play fifa , cod and maybe gta
With a laptop depending on the specifations , these games will run , albeit medium-low settings using a resolution of maybe 1386*760, in the gaming world , this is shit.
The reason why you Cant have a gaming laptop is due to heating constraints and the fact that the only two parts of a laptop you can upgrade is the RAM and the hdd.

Overclocking has a lot of adverse effects and it will eventually try your processor, your fans a optimized for a specific range of temperatures any thing other than that ......

Why you dont want a "gaming laptop":

there is no such thing as a gaming laptop. gaming is about the experience. so;

a: you need to be able to concentrate on it.

b: you need a large screen

c: you need to be comfortable

d: you need good sound

e: you need good mouse and keyboard

f: you want something powerful as the more fluid a game can be the more enjoyment you will get

d: your system needs to be able to disperse heat, something all laptops have a problem with. especially after 6 months of dust

and if you dont care about all of that, and still think you will have a good gaming experience on a 15inch screen on a bus, please consider:

a:everything in your laptop has a lifespan of 2 years, after which your money is completely wasted. as you wont be able to upgrade sufficiently.

b: the case you pay for in a laptop gets thrown away

c: the keyboard gets thrown away

d: the touch pad gets thrown away

e: the motherboard gets thrown away

f: the power supply gets thrown away

g: the monitor gets thrown away

h: cpu thrown away

i: ram thrown away

j: hard drives, thrown away

k: cd/dvd drives thrown away

with a desktop, when things are a little out of date, you can keep almost all of these components and just buy a new motherboard, or cpu, or graphics card etc. making desktops better for the world and better for your pocket.

also consider

a: laptop is easy to steal

b: a gaming laptop will be targeted especially to steal

c: you will look like a nerdy rich kid



have i talked you out of it yet??

every day there is someone asking about a "gaming laptop", and another person crying that their new "gaming laptop" performs like crap, overheats, was a waste of money. it really annoys me and ever gamer/techie really knows that gaming laptops are overpriced peices of crap that no one should be looking at buying

There are such things as gaming laptops. Alienware, Asus ROG(Republic Of Gamers), MSI, Saeger, Cyberpower, even hp has a gaming laptop series. But as otunba88 said. This is a developing country. Don't blame us if we consider mediocre laptops as gaming ones. Seeing as #18k is basic salary, I don't expect the average Nigerian to shell out #400k and above to play games.

PS, not everyone wants to game on a desktop. Those, I think, are for hardcore gamers. And the same money rules still apply here, even more so, seeing as high end desktop components are expensive and scarce in our markets.

@op, have you finally gotten a laptop?? specs??

In terms of performance, a gaming rig beats a gaming laptop hands down... But then why do gaming laptops exist? Things only exist when there is demand for them.

In Nigeria for instance, you'd want one because you need a laptop(seeing as our power supply ain't the best), and if you like playing games, you'll get a laptop that can play great games as well. Plus us people that are always on the move.

If I wasn't a student, I'd have a rig, cuz I'd have an apartment. I go home all the time. I ain't gonna carry my computer home.

I'm all for Asus ROGs. Dual fan setup with dual exhaust. A guy named ericdry wanted to sell a G75VW somewhere on the forum, not sure if he's sold it. You might want to consider that. Has a GTX 660M which plays today's games on about medium settings.

Perfection isn't attainable without a maxed out budget. We make do with what we have.

Mature people that read
I said their is nothing like a gaming laptop knowing fully well what I meant
Gaming is about experience and most laptop can't provide you with the ultimate gaming experience
I have a very good laptop that I play graphic intensive games on like star wars battle front, gta v, cod but I won't call it a gaming laptop
It will never play full hd (1920 *1080) talkless of 4k
The parts are not upgradeable and forget beats audio the sound will always be wacky unless connected to a Sound system
I shelled out reasonable cash for the laptop
So when I from a knowledgeable standpoint opines that there is nothing like a gaming laptop , no one should quote me. I hope he gets banned

desktop is limited at a point due to the processor speed and type, well i would say both rigs(LTC and DTC) are limited. considering what you said about the board; a motherboard cannot be upgraded,upgrading it is the same as getting a new system. the processor on the other hand is attached to the board and if it must be changed, it requires a good tech guru to do that perfectly without issues and coming across such aint gonna be easy so as getting a processor ie a correct match and type with the predecessor without having incompatibility issues with the board components.
Re: Need A Good Gaming Laptop by litaninja(m): 2:57pm On Jan 25, 2016
@youngice After you upgrade and buy a new new motherboard, cpu and graphics card what else is left in the rig na? You've essentially bought a new rig fa. A couple of us enjoy the mobility of Gaming laptops, so, we choose them. The performance difference is not much. To enjoy the video and sound you're particular about, You'd still need a good monitor / large screen for you desktop rig anyway, just add that to your laptop as well. That way you can keep an eye on twitter while you play. Obviously you're gonna hookup to a sound system to enjoy gaming, laptop or desktop...so moot point. Wetin else remain.
Shell out cash for a gaming laptop biko....and ain't nothing wrong with looking like a rich nerdy kid. Nerds rule now....
And some of us are reeeeeaaaallllllly cool grin

Ignorance is not good sha.

There are gaming laptops running 970m or 980m GPUs that can pretty much play any modern game at very high settings at 1080p.
