What laptop do you use for gaming?

[jd22292]

What do you guys use for gaming PCs and how have they held up for you? Also, what's a good gaming PC to upgrade to?

The reason I ask is because I'm currently using a Lenovo G50 with AMD Radeon graphics cards. A friend of mine and I had issues with AMD in the past, so I'm looking to switch to a more powerful laptop.

Current PC Specs:
Lenovo G50
OS: Windows 10, originally came with 8.1
HDD: 1TB
SSD: 25GB
RAM: 8GB DDR3
Graphics: AMD Radeon R4
Processor: AMD A6-6310 APU, 1.8GHz, Quad Core
All components non-upgradable

I have the RoG G750JW upgraded to 12GB ram, 1TB 5400rpm drive and 1TB SSD. I got it like two years ago but it still holds up really nicely on most every game I've played

Gaming laptop?! Cmon, you are kidding me They have never been designed for gaming (even "gaming" laptops). Buying "gaming" laptop is waste of money. (12 gb of RAM... you made my dayD)

No need to be derogatory. Sure, I could have spent the money better on a desktop, but I play games at my friend's house weekly and it would be a pain to lug the computer, a monitor, plus a keyboard + mouse back and forth just so we could play together. Like I said, even though it's two years old, it runs most every game I've played on high-ultra graphics with only 1-2 I've tried needing to be set to medium.

How's the processor speed on it? I know some games like GTA V won't run properly on processors under 2 GHz.
