REVIEW CENTER : LAPTOPS : GAMING LAPTOPS (15.4-INCH)
 
     
You searched for Gaming laptops (15.4-inch) costing less than $20000 sorted by Score.
Editor's take: Mid-sized gaming laptops are usually purchased with two roles in mind. They need to have the hardware necessary to play the latest games, but also function as traditional mainstream laptops, and not the battery-draining monsters in the 17-inch space. Look for a mid-tier Nvidia or ATI graphics card like the GeForce 7000 (or even the 8400) or the Radeon X1200 families. You won’t be able to play on the highest settings, but you’ll actually be able to use the battery. The most important attribute when shopping for 15.4-inch is discrete graphics; many games won’t even start without a dedicated GPU. The most impressive new 15.4-inch gaming laptop may be Alienware’s Area-51 m15x, which utilizes a dual-GPU system that allows you to switch to integrated graphics to take full advantage of the battery.
