Is this a good gaming laptop?

As the title says. I can't go after a desktop because I don't prefer them and I do need to bring my computer with me to many places.

 

Here's the laptop: http://www.amazon.com/Razer-Blade-Touchscreen-Gaming-Laptop/dp/B00J06F4BK/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

 

So let me know if it's any good :) thanks. I don't mind the prices, so you can list any other laptops that you think are better.

I mean, you can spend as much as you want and get an incredibly powerful computer.  You can probably find better deals though.  Depends what you want to play and how high you want to put the settings.  I've been recommending the Lenovo Y40 to people who want a very portable gaming laptop.  You can get a 512 GB SSD one for half the price of that Razer.  It doesn't quite match in processor and graphics power.

 

Touch screens are cool but you'll hate fingerprints after a while.  Shop around a lot before you buy.  Read reviews.  Don't actually be afraid of getting more than you need, if you can afford it; it just means the laptop will be relevant for longer.

Razer is known for being expensive. And that system might be overkill depending on the games you want to play, if all you're going to play are city builders than you may want to find an alternative. However if you're planning on playing a lot of games then those specs are really good, but because it's a Razer it's really expensive. I'd search around some more and see if ther are other Laptops with the same specs but for a cheaper price.

    I plan to play a lot of games on it. There are a couple games I have that already take up most of my CPU's power. I really love the specs with the Razer, but it is rather expensive. I'm going to continue to search for one that has the same specs but a lower price.

     

    Thanks for the comments, guys.

    Looks rather like an expensive pig in a poke.  Take some time out of your busy gaming schedule and go shopping physically for a machine.  See if you can get the vendor to benchmark it with your software.  The word here is caution.  Two grand is a lot of moolah for a box of tricks.

    I don't know. I'm finding a lot of decent stuff on the internet. If necessary, I'll stop at a Best Buy and look around.

     

    I'm looking at an MSI right now. I don't have the link to it, but it's about $1,000 for 8 gigs of RAM, 500 GB hard drive, i7 processor (I think that's what that is), etc...
