Hey community, I just wanted to ask a question I'm sure you may get from time to time. So I live in the United States in Georgia and I'm saving up for a gaming laptop. I have no plans of leaving Georgia so I will never be any closer to the servers than I am right now. So can anyone explain to me a perfect labtop to play LOL on. Keep in mind, I will only play LOL on this laptop and run programs such as Skype and things such as that to communicate with my teammates. I want this laptop to be literally for nothing but LOL no social aspects at all only to game on it. Right now I'm returning from a 2 year break period where I played pro basketball in Central America I did not play LOL for 2 years straight, I returned and was put into silver 5...I have made my way to silver 2 in about 3 weeks thanks to a intolerance to ignorance and a never quit attitude. But this windows 10 I have lags a lot and I've come to the conclusion that in order to really take my game to a gold+ level I need the best laptop to game on with the best performance, ping, Gigs etc. Please help me.

Honestly my gf uses a laptop I found on CL for $300 - Toshiba, 8 gigs of ram, with an A10 APU. Hardly have to have the best for League, I have a core 2 duo sitting around that runs it just fine with 4 gigs of ram and and a lower level dedicated gpu. League is designed to run on mid spec walmart computers and better (I say this because that $300 CL computer was still for sale at walmart for $600), just shop around and stay in whatever budget you've set. If your budget is <$500 best bang for your buck is Craigslist or build a desktop - long as you know how to look at a computer and tell that everythings ok and can check on the specs you shouldn't ever get stuck with something crappy.

But the best gaming laptops? Sager, Asus ROG, Alienware, even one of the new HP Pavilions and Lenovo Thinkpads aren't looking too bad with their dedicated nvidia GTX 950+ GPUs. I know alienware's new line has like a standalone unit that has an upgradable GPU or something, haven't really read into it all that much but choice aplenty!

Also depends on what you're looking for, do you want built in Nvidia 3d? If so that limits choices quiet a bit. Hellbent on having 2 standalone GPUs in a laptop? Very limited indeed. etc etc

League will work on most mid range computers. And I don't know what other game you might play.

Personally, I think the high power gaming computers are over priced, but if you could work with a Desk top, I'd suggest building your own, if you want something high end.
