Hi OzBargin Family,

Long time lurker first time caller.

Looking for some help finding the best option for getting a gaming laptop for around $1k (insert sarcastic laugh here). I've been checking out the Dell, Lenovo, Alienware etc offerings but it looks like the US have the best deals.

CNET isn't being much help either.

As a side not I wont be looking for something to play ultra settings just possibly Dota 2 or PubG.

A Tower PC's not the path I really want to go down as I want the flexibility to take the laptop with me when I travel.

Edit: The best I've seen is Metabox at the moment…

Gaming

    Don't no if you will get a brand new decent one for that price maybe go second hand bought a decent lenovo Think pad for $800 a few months back with some really good specs from ocau with over a year to go with warranty if it helps.

      Yeah I haven't been holding out much hope of finding something cheap but figured if anyone knew it would be Ozbargin.
      Best I've found is Metabox

    You can try the cheaper Asian brands like Hasee or Thunderobot about USD1000. Not sure about quality.

    • Dinkey on 27/03/2018 - 14:39

      Yeah I've also been a bit mindful of the quality I've heard some mixed reviews

    • Dinkey on 27/03/2018 - 14:37

      Amazing thank you, I have been looking at the Nitro for a bit actually, would you rate it better than the Lenovo Legion?

        If it was my money and I needed a laptop, I’d get the Lenovo.

        • Dinkey on 27/03/2018 - 22:55
