To be quite honest with you gaming laptops do not last, you're better off getting a desktop.

Hey guys I am looking for a good gaming laptop that can be used for stuff like Microsoft Word and basic office stuff too. It has to be

1. incomplete sentence it has to be
2. less then $1500? you can buy a low-end alienware with that.
3. microsoft word and basic office stuff can be ran on computers earlier then windows XP. if you seriously just want a basic computer, go buy the cheapest one you can find.

If you want a gaming laptop make sure it is amd and its dual core or above but alien has goosd setups  for gaming laptops right in the price range

alien is waayyy over-priced.

Completely true. Starting with the fact that I wouldn't buy a computer to play with it.

alien is waayyy over-priced.

may be true but macs are worse and Aand you get even less performance

be sure to check reviews because most laptops under that price are prone to overheating and hang ups. also do not over try overclocking a laptop because the fan and heat sink (or fansink) will be able to keep the CPU and GPU at 60C.
i would suggest a desktop and forget about portability because of this.

Agreed with desktop. Don't buy any other computer just for gaming. It's a waste unless you are very wealthy.

Your best bet is really to just get a desktop that can run about anything and a medium range laptop that can run a few games but not all. That way you can play your desktop at home with the few good games like Newer COD's and Skyrim, the works.

Since you mentioned TF2 you really dont need much. Valve games seem to rely more on RAM and the Processor to play and some on the graphics but TF2 is so old that i think you only need a graphics card that has like 512 MB of ram. But the processor seems to be a big deal with that game. Because everytime I run that game it is extremely slow for first couple of minutes. I guess it could just be updates.
