I have not had a laptop that had a disk drive hum never. I also have not had a laptop with a DvD-rom drive in 5 years.angelicprince said:If you are still looking, I own an Omen (HP) laptop bought it for about $1000 and it has been working really well. (It does NOT have a disk drive)
It can run Skyrim on Ultra (several texture mods included), Overwatch on High, (my two most demanding games) with no problem.
Plus, it you only spend 1/2 of your budget on it, you will have a lot for games. (Or you could build a desktop) The reason I bought the laptop was for portability (I assume that it why you want it as well) so whatever you chose, have fun.

Note Angelicprince. A lot of game manufactur are switching to Quad core or 6 core setups also games like Star Citizen which is still not out. Requires, SSD, 16GB of ram or more and Quad core or the game is unplayable.
For me it not about size. But more about what inside. As you an look at the list I only had 512GB PCIe M.2 Class 50 But I want to add another 512 GB PCIe as well as a 2tb 7200 Hard drive.angelicprince said:mine has a ssd and an hdd as well as 16 gb ram, so while it could work for you, I understand if you want to get something bigger.

Question I like to ask you. What can you upgrade on a laptop? Or what you think you can upgrade inside and out. Then we can talk.angelicprince said:Sorry I should have clarified better, I meant something with more power behind it.

I think you are confusing your self with the new i7 8 gen is a 6 core mobile CPU. See My first post was specs of a 17.3inch Laptop Nivda 1070 8GB Which is also portable 10 LB. So yes I can put it in a big and do the same as you. Take it on trips use it in hotels and such. The only thing I talk about that a desktop Part. Is the Alienware Graphic Amuflier which uses a Desktop GPU to enhance the speed of an ageing laptop GPU. But we both have LAPTOPS.angelicprince said:It appears to me that that nothing I say would change your mind as your first post is about having a desktop. (Which if you reread my first post I recommended as well) the laptop is about portability. I have not been home all summer and having my laptop is amazing as I have spent time in hospital and travelling.
While your stuck with Ram and such. I am looking a few years down the line. So paying a little more Might be beneficial. Not sure how old your laptop is. But if you want to try newer games Look into your Omen graphics accelerator. $300 Plus you have to buy a new desktop GPU. Before buying a New laptop. But it can extend your gaming ability some. It has to share some of your resources so that a small pitfall. But it plugs in play so it does has its pros and con.That being said, a google search can show what is upgradable. for quick example, my ram can be upgraded to 32gb pretty easy. are desktops going to be "better" yes and no. it depends on what the user wants/ needs it for. every person is different and requires different things. One person might want to drop thousands of dollars for the top of the line everything, while some are continent with getting what works for them and using what is left to do other things.

Lestat said:A lot of people buy a new laptop not knowing the maintenance required owning a new laptop. I was having my Car smog or something. The kid there complains that his computer could not play games anymore was very Jerky while in gameplay. We took it apart and found it was full of Pet hair and Dust.
Just a suggestion for people if you have pets buy a filter that prevents pet hair to get into the computer.
