No one cat should have all that power
I used my TV for a week or so when my monitor died. Reading text on it was terrible and I don't recommend it to anyone.

I want a laptop pretty much exclusively for gaming while at work. Doesn’t need ultra super max settings or anything, just to play all games more or less smoothly.

It’ll get lugged maybe 5 minutes to and from my car every day and that’s about it. I don’t know much about gaming laptops aside from what I read in OP and 2019 buyers guide.

Don’t care too much about money but would ideally stay in the 900-1300ish range.

Any Black Friday deals I should look out for?

Skimming reddit it seemed like the Y540 or Helios 300 are probably what I want?

Any suggestions or feedback? I heard the Helios fans are really loud and since it’s a workplace I’m leaning Y540, but any suggestions would be welcomed.

Any Black Friday or cyber Monday things I should be holding out for? Walmart has the y540 on sale now and I might bite since reddit says that’s about what to expect.

Is the 144mhz screen going to burn battery a lot faster or worth buying compared to the standard?

Already have a gaming pc at home, don’t really care about money too much. Basically just want the best value for something to set up and play throughout the day during downtime at work.

On mobile so kind of a pain to get specifics to post but I think I have the models and info right.

Thanks!
