Best Laptop for Gaming?
Posted: Fri May 06, 2016 5:08 pm
For my personal use, I always by refurbished "office-style" Dell computers, which I really like for every day use, because as my computer guy says, I am pretty rough on my computers. lol I bought another cheap computer at Best Buy and it lasted fewer than two years before the cheap plastic hinges broke and replacement cost is as much as a new computer, even with used parts and a computer person who charges about 1/4 of what usual computer people charge. In addition, there is something else going on with the computer that I didn't even have him check into, since I won't have the other part repaired. Right now, since I had two computers, I am just going to have him put my items from the cheap one back onto the Dell we still have.
I truly like my Dell computers, but the problem is that videos, and especially online casinos, make it run very hot - sometimes to the point of shutting itself down. Sometimes i Have to put an ice pack under a towel and place it under the computer while i play.
I do spray out the fans, but sometimes I think those things just blow the dust and furballs (lol) around inside there, not really being effective.
Anyway, do my CL-Friends have any good suggestions for a "gaming" computer that doesn't cost almost $2,000 like my middle son's computer did? lol (He recently sold his, because he is no longer into gaming like he was a few years ago and traded it in for a tablet, which is all he really needs now).
I am not ready to purchase anything now, but ideas for the future would be most welcom
