Hi,
I was wondering if some kind person can give me their opinion on the laptop I have selected or narrowed down. I do a lot of gaming, although I have a PC Desktop I am looking to replace my old laptop with a gaming laptop. Reason being is that I find that using a laptop while at home (socially and not locked away in my games room) and portability on LAN Parties and such (as long as they have WiFi)
Games I play are WoW (daily)
League of Legends, Smite, Dota (LAN Party)
As well as newer titles that take my fancy which I have recently bought. Metro, Max Payne, Skyrim (don’t have to be on full settings)
Laptop 1 - Vortex IV X15-970 Gaming Laptop
Laptop 2 - Asus G750JS Gaming Laptop
I know there is an obvious difference in the two but I don't want to be paying too much for what I use it for. I also want it to last the longer the better.
