    Looking for a gaming laptop but not sure if I can get used to a 14" screen. Any thoughts?

    Perfect size, imo. If you're playing with the laptop's keyboard then 14" is fine. If you want to attach an external keyboard then I'd also recommend an external monitor. I used to use an external 21" monitor and gaming keyboard with my laptop, but it took up so much of my desk space and I hated the cables everywhere so I just sold them and went back to my laptop screen. I figured what's the point in having a laptop if you're not gonna use it's beautiful screen and solid keyboard?

    I went from 17 to 14, happier with a more compact notebook.

    I too have an external monitor but prefer avoiding too many cables as well and end up doing almost all my gaming on the laptop screen and love it. Using the laptop also lets me chill on the couch with a laptop stand for comfy gaming next to my girlfriend! Less complaints compared to when I use the desk haha.

    14" is the perfect size! For gaming, work and browsing. I also have to say I really do like the touchscreen. It is very handy for browsing.

    Depends on the game. Online FPS is poor on such a small screen but if your not worried about score then it's fine.
