WorstMinecrafterEver9 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Hello, I am planning on building a custom laptop for gaming and I was wondering if anyone wanted to help me out with ordering parts and all that hub bub.

Honestly you can't even "build" a laptop, they have a far greater lack of standardization of parts, unlike desktops. Besides as dwwojcik said desktops are far superior.

WorstMinecrafterEver9 Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 The problem is that i do not currently have an area where I can set up a desktop and a laptop is currently 50x's more convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miniboxer Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 You can't have laptop, gaming, and under 1000$ unless if "is bad at" prefaces the gaming part. Build a desktop, I can guarantee you can find a case that will fit how much room you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethosos Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I hear there are microcases out there smaller than a shoebox. You'll have to figure out cooling on your own, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorstMinecrafterEver9 Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 I have a couple old clip on fans that worked fairly well for the last laptop that I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liszt's Right Hand Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Well, it kind of depends on whether your old laptop was a doddery Windows Vista with just enough RAM to run PowerPoint, or a power-consuming monster that could run anything on ultra with no problems what so ever. Because at the end of the day, if your going to get a high-spec custom built laptop with a $1000 budget. Then a few old 'clip-on fans' would be great if you were deciding to keep it intact for less than 5 minutes . Unfortunately there isn't lots in the way of accessibility when it comes to building laptops. Not to mention. as soon as you get even close to what a gaming Desktop PC can do with a $1000 budget, your probably looking at twice the price! I built my PC with way over £1000 budget and it still doesn't come out to be a flawless when it comes to games (don't get me wrong, it's still bloody amazing!). So with that in mind, I would first advise you to get a Gaming PC and not a Gaming Laptop just for the fact you would get far more value for money over there . It would also depend on what games your playing, if your just playing minecraft and other low intensive games then ignore everything I just said, however when someone says 'gaming laptops/PCs', it usually means optimized for everything you can possibly throw at it. Finally, I wish you all the best with your hunt for the right Gaming PC/Gaming Laptop. It took me nearly 4-5 months before I was completely happy with what I wanted so the moral of the story is, if you find an absolute jaw-dropper of a deal. Chances are, there's gonna be a better one right next to it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
