Best Budget Gaming Laptop November 2017

I bought the Gen 1 version, which is still running strong, in November of 2017 from B&H. The unit is solidly built. I would buy the Gen 2 version in a heartbeat! I'm extremely pleased.

Hands down the best. Purchased November 2016. ZERO bad sectors to date (Dec 2017). Configured�in a Synology DiskStation NAS.

Years ago I bought a canon prosumer camera from B&H. In November 2017 I had buy another Apple computer. All the plugs changed and were incompatible with cable on my camera. I spoke with a technician at B&H who guided me on what to get. Even showed me pictures and a link to the site.

I bought this lens when I bought the Pentax K-1 in November 2017.� There is a little corner vignetting in full frame mode that is easy to crop.� I use crop or square mode with no problems.� Excellent lens and camera for wildflower photos.� Good macro depth of field.

I am learning to enjoy my ASUS 15.6 Vivobook. It is a replacement for my nearly 14 year old laptop that has seen better days. I am on a limited budget, but I didn't want mediocre specs that would be outdated in 6 months. I do mainly internet browsing, some productivity work (word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, etc.), some low intensity gaming, and on occasion some video editing for my socials. Bottom line - You should probably get one while qtys and pricing are good. Pros - It has the specs I wanted (i9 CPU, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) at a great price. More than enough computing power for gaming, casual internet browsing, and the occasional homework/essay. It included FREE 2-Day Shipping - I am on the West Coast. Screen colors are vibrant, keyboard is keyboard-y with backlit keys. The laptop itself is not the lightest out there, but is hardly the boat anchor ROG ASUS I still own that is on its last legs. It's offered thru a reputable dealer. Cons (ish) - Only 1920x1080 resolution and no touchscreen. I haven't really encountered any other negatives so far. It's been a while since I purchased MY own laptop. To be transparent, I have helped recommend and even purchased several laptops over the years for my family and friends. My previous-current laptop is a still-running ASUS G51J (i7 CPU 1st Gen, 6GB RAM, 500GB 2.5 HDD) - battery doesn't charge, but still works plugged in. I purchased it from B&H also circa 2010. Being a frugal tinkerer myself, but wanting the best value for my budget, I researched and compared several buying sources including big box stores, national (U.S.) retail chains and even Amazon, but I still chose B&H. Even though I am on the West Coast, I still found value in the products they offer as well as the service and buying experience. Did I mention FREE 2-Day shipping from the East Coast (NY). Hope this review helps.

Bought this as an upgrade over a 4-year-old budget gaming laptop, and wow! This thing beats my 13700k/3080 desktop on graphics benchmarks. It's a slick, beautiful machine that runs great. Lots of customization available with the lighting and different fan settings. Just be sure to hit the gym if you're carrying this around because the power brick is no joke. Love this laptop!

If you are on a tight budget then look no further! Best value for your $
