Can you get a decent 'gaming'-ish laptop for under $1k?
| Don't go for gaming laptops, they are expensive and usually worse performance-wise than computers of the same price
| Trust me, I was in the same boat as you last summer, I wanted to upgrade from my old laptop to a new one that can play Witcher 3 but everybody was saying to get a pc instead. I was reluctant but did it anyway and ended up getting one with better performance for the same price.
| yeah gaming laptops are just for making fried eggs while you play 2010 and lower games.
get a pc or just build it yourself, if your on the go buy a ps vita or nitendo. dont get me wrong, a laptop its a good choice of your traveling but forget about playing witcher 3 of thats your case.
| Not OP but how about one the can run FF14 at midlow settings at at least 30 fps?

The thing is, I would really benefit from a laptop work- and study-wise, and I can't afford both laptop and desktop, so uhhh yeah. Some tough ass situation.
Anyway, FF14 at mid at 30 would be...at least passable. My current one barely gives 20-ish on lowest setting possible, which is why I dropped the game at level 54 on my SCH
| Yeah, sorry op. If you can only get a laptop you're gonna have to be content with lower-spec games.
On the upside, there's a lot of them that's good now
| You shouldn't use a laptop to play vidya on.
| On the minimum settings? Yup completely possible
| I'm reading all this while I'm in my 900€ (less than 1000$) laptop while running Just Cuase 3 Multiplayer at maximun perfomance saying: Wtf you talking about minimun settings. The only problem of Laptops is that you can't really upgrade them but Gtx 950 doesn't make much much different between 1080 ones. Except if you want to run it at 4k, which I have no experience in, other than that, laptop is not a bad idea for certain people
| Also games from now on takes the same requeriments as 2015 games and maybe in 2021 we will all need to upgrade our Laptops or Pcs if we want to keep up
| But while 2021 hasn't come yet, enjoy less than $1000 laptops
| My notebook has a gt740m it runs the Witcher 3 just fine on minimum settings... So it's not that bad to have one unless you are a pc gaming maniac who can't play anything on settings bellow max

| 'Decent' as in 'hey i can kinda run witcher 3 at lowest setting and resolution possible but at 60 fps, yay'. Or what's my best bet at least with that kinda money and need for a laptop?
