Help Gaming laptop

[DaGaffer]

I have been thinking about a gaming laptop for a few weeks now. I think I will sell my MacBook and get a gaming laptop instead. I love the Mac it is so smooth and good to do everything but game. I have been getting really pissed off at games that run fine on my old Sony laptop (1st gen i5 and HD4000 gfx) but I have to turn everything off to get them to run on this Mac. It is a shame but I think this was a filed experiment.

I have been looking at a few options and if I want to keep the same form factor as this Mac then this laptop by Razer looks great. http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-systems/razer-blade-2014

Or if I go for a 15.6 then this looks like an Absolute beast. http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/laptops-portable-pcs/origin-eon15-x-1288075/review

First things first I need to see how much I can get for the Mac to see what I can spend on a Laptop.

Can you actually buy Razer laptops in Europe?

You can, buy not cheap. You can buy them from some company that then do the support. Otherwise your Warranty would be in America?

This is what I realistically have my eye on.

I had 2 ASUS gaming laptops, they never let me down, the last one I had lasted 4 years being used as a desktop, ie it was on 4-15 hours a day. Great value for money.

I have a lenovo y50-70, been great so far!

HOWEVER, I had to return the first because the CPU cooler was not attached correctly and I also had to return the second one because the tab key fell off. The third one is the charm though.
Great when it is working. The keyboard can be a bit awkward if you are used to desktop

If you get a properly assembled you will have a great laptop
Otherwise just sent it back until you get one.

The only laptop that meet my criterias and I am very happy with my y50. A good tip is to undervolt the CPU a bit, then the fans wont really speed up at all unless heavy gaming.

Good thread that helps gaming laptops -> http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/the-throttlestop-guide.531329/page-381 (the most popular undervolting program as it can removes Throttling which gaming laptops often have built in).

I used Intel Extreme Tuning Utility for my undervolting tho.
