I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.
Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I’ll never use a crappy blender again.
Anything else like that?

Just as long as you’re not searching for a “gaming laptop”. IMO those do not exist to any degree of satisfaction. They are all a “choose two” among performance, size/weight, battery life, and noise.
Unless you are so mobile that you are never ever at home, and the prosect of only scraping mid graphical settings at best while being permanently anchored to a wall outlet any time you play is worth it to you, I’d suggest taking that money and instead putting it toward a combo of a desktop rig and a cheap netbook. You won’t be gaming on the go, but you’ll have a better experience for the price. And if there’s a more mundane task that the little netbook can’t handle, you can, provided you have an Internet connection, always remote in to the desktop workstation at home and delegate expensive tasks to it.
If all you need though is something that runs well with a dozen browser tabs open, doesn’t struggle playing back high definition video, and can handle playing a less demanding game every now and again, you can definitely find laptops that can do that while still being relatively slim, quiet, and cool. Just temper your expectations on how far you can push it.
I’m a repair tech and can’t agree more. Gaming laptops suck, so so bad. They are only good for performance but besides that are awful for everything else. Shit speakers, shit screen, shit battery, shit keyboard, shit trackpad, and awful build quality. These things drop like flies and break down often. On top of that they are expensive to repair because parts are expensive and it’s almost guaranteed that they will be a nightmare to work in, so high labour $.
If you want a laptop to game on, get a used HP 8770w workstation laptop, upgrade the CPU, upgrade the ram (4 slots!), and upgrade the GPU with a GTX 980m, put in an SSD and HDD (2x 2.5" bays). You will need to do a lot of modifying and If you aren’t comfortable you can probably pay someone to do it.
Other than that, absolutely the best solution for a laptop with high performance, excellent build quality (these things are TANKS) and price (around 600-700$ with laptop and parts). Plus it has a secondary battery attachment and a docking station with extra ports and I/O. Utterly insane value.
