    Hello,

    I play different games and I want to buy a Laptop soon, gaming Laptop more specifically. My budget is around 1000 $. What Laptop should I buy?

    I would like to play BF4, Nfs Rivals on ultra if is possible..with decent fps.

    Kind regards, Cipy :hi2:

    With a budget of $1000 that's definitely not gonna happen (sorry). I recommend going for a Lenovo 510 or Clevo W230ST.

    Go for Lenovo Y510 with GTX 750M SLI. You won't be able to run BF4 at ultra fluently (game is gorgeous at lower settings anyway), but NFS is going to be fine.

    Your going to need to upgrade that budget to around $1500 if you want a brand new machine to even get close to something like that.

    Your other option would to be buying a quality used rig something like what I'm running. You can see from the 3DMark11 score I can easily hang with the 680m's and even come close to 780m's. You should be able to find something like mine used for just under or at $1000.

    Good luck finding what you want!

    Get something with 765m for ~ $1000 and play on ultra at 720p.

    Hunt for used 680m machines, or find a use sandy/ivy bare bone and drop a 680m in.
