I just bought a gaming laptop to replace my business laptop. Gaming laptops are generally better at everything. The hardest part was finding one I could have in meetings that didn't scream it was a gaming laptop. Sometimes I like to play SimCity while I'm sitting in meetings.

What laptop did ya get? My supervisor is thinking about getting us some nicer laptops for work and we tossed around the idea of a gaming one but I argued against alienware

I ended up with the HP Victus because it was on sale for $499. I added the maximum RAM and spent half a day doing bios and other updates, because the poor thing was shipped with glitchy software and bios. After the updates and RAM upgrades, she's been a joy. No reboots, no blue screens, and I can play Skyrim while I'm in a Skype meeting

I think giving a presentation on the Graphics Crusher 3000 with an RGB backlit keyboard would be very impactful.

I have an IdeaPad Gaming 3 15IHU6 from Lenovo and you wouldn't know it was a gaming laptop just by looking at it from the outside.
