What should I look for when I am looking to buy a gaming laptop? I don't want to wait until Black Friday to buy a laptop, but I am looking to buy one around $1,000 to $1,300 USD. I don't plan on playing any hardcore graphics games on it, only FFXIV and League of Legends on high setting.

I travel a lot for work, so I need something that is pretty lightweight, but also performs well and is pretty durable.

Thank you!

SSD, dedicated graphics card 1050ti or better.

Are these any good?

If I can get a cheaper one like this, is it worth spending a bit less for this one?

I can't buy Newegg because of the shipping. Is there one from Amazon you recommend?



Which of the 2 is better in terms of value?

this ^

one just may be 144hz other 60hz

and if u play League or other games with less intense graphics, the 150 is worth it imo

What about this one?

I ended up buying this

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FM7YLL3/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It was $50 more than the Predator Helios 300 pre-tax, but $50 cheaper post-tax because the G7 had no tax on it for some reason.

I hope I made the right choice.

Honestly the only dell products I'd purchase is their ultrasharp monitor and xps laptops for non gaming purposes
