Asus TUF Gaming F15

The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 is a budget-friendly gaming laptop that impresses with its high-end eight-core CPU and impressive battery life. While it falls short in color performance with its 144hz display, it's a solid choice for gamers who value long-lasting power. With a socketed memory and upgradeable components, this laptop offers flexibility and ease of maintenance. A great option for those seeking a balance between gaming and everyday use.

Alienware m17 R3

The Alienware M17 R3 is a powerhouse gaming laptop that boasts impressive specs and sleek design. With its thin profile and robust performance, it's hard to deny the appeal of this machine. However, my experience with the 4K display was underwhelming, as it slowed down the machine and limited frame rates. The price tag of over $2,500 is also a significant drawback. Despite these drawbacks, I found the M17 R3 to be one of the fastest gaming laptops on the market, with stunning design that sets it apart from its competitors.
