I'm looking to finally replace my decrepit dinosaur of a laptop from 2010, and haven't really followed the market so I don't know what's considered best these days.

Price isn't necessarily a factor, but I doubt I need anything high end. The only game I'm likely to play is Final Fantasy XI, which shouldn't tax modern hardware at all.

That being said, I would like to pick up a quality laptop, solid build, well designed, etc., that will comfortably last for a while. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Gameplay is a major part of video games, yes. But it isn't what makes video gamed great.

What's the extent of your portability need?


I'd primarily be using my laptop at home, I have a work laptop which covers most portability needs. Of course my laptop would travel with me sometimes, but if it's on the larger side of the spectrum it wouldn't be an issue.

Get a Dell XPS 15


My previous laptop was a Dell Studio XPS... 10, I believe. (Something like that.) It was good, has lasted to this day -- although it's on its last leg -- but from the outset it was a lot louder than I would have liked, even just doing something basic like browsing the internet. The fan kicked in for almost nothing. Not sure if this is a common problem, or if mine was just an exception that ran too hot, but it made me at least a bit wary of the brand moving forward.

If you have an XPS 15, have you had any similar problems with heat/noise?

I have a Dell XPS 15 for about two years now and haven't had any of those issues. It's a great device and I'm even able to game on it since it has a 960m.
