Gaming Tiny computer below $1K
-
I built what I consider a tiny gaming computer for ~$700. It's built in the BitFenix Prodigy.
-
My hoping to fit the computer in the cabin bag, same size as Lenovo M700 but with beefy video card. I'm planning to get it in Amazon.
-
How big is a cabin bag?

Ah, You'd be better off picking up a laptop. There aren't many gaming PCs in the book-end form factor.
-
Cabin bag is around 20 in x 17 in x 9 in. A HP RP5 may fit but my bag will almost be full. I prefer a gaming desktop at around or below 12 in x 12 in x 3 in so I can put other stuff.

That's what I discovered.

what are my options for gaming laptop below $1000 with good user feedback?

The ASUS ROG series is phenomenal. MSI also has a gaming series that is really good, although I think it will be slightly more then $1K.

My Asus RoG was far from their entry level and was about $1,100. I liked it so much, I have two of them.

I assume this means that there will be a monitor/keyboard/mouse where ever you are taking this cabin bag?

Isn't a cabin bag what pilots and flight attendants use?

So many protein bars.

I have a gen 1 version of this, with an i3, and it's been great. I'm not a super serious gamer, but you can get way better GPU options now, and the high end one is $1,000.

The review about yellow ring on amazon is scary, this could have been a great product if i will get the working one.

That issue must only affect the newer generation ones, mine has been running full time, stable, for over 2 years.
All those negative review are also for units NOT bought from Dell, but from some shady 3rd party seller on Amazon... that's not what you want to do. No guarantee that the ones he is selling are "new" or even contain all the correct, original parts.

You are right, thank you very much.

You can do a retropi 3 for about $75 if you count the case, SD card and controllers. ROMs are up to you. If you add a small screen, you might bump it to $150.
