Forum :: Lounge :: Could anybody recommend a good laptop for gaming?

So after countless - and torturous - hours of babysitting, petsitting, dog walking, car washing, selling some of my junk and even picking up the occasional penny, not only have I lost my dignity but I've also managed to save £305.

I was wondering if anybody could recommend a good laptop within (or not too far off) my budget. It'll be used mainly for gaming, but I'd prefer it to have a built-in webcam and card reader for my camera as well, though these aren't too important.

I don't mind having to save up more money, I'd just like a good laptop (I'm using my mum's in the meantime).

Thanks.

Does it need to be a laptop?

For gaming i would suggest a desktop.

I don't like laptops because they tend to break when I buy them...but I've gotten some pretty rotten luck with them in the past.

Look at Dell XPS laptops - higher end, but they're very nice. I'd also look at Asus and Samsung as well. I can't recommend a specific model because I don't own one.

Lord is right, if you're looking for a gaming PC then you should go after a desktop :/
