    Need help customising new gaming laptop

    OK thank you very much, I guess I'll pay the extra for the 480GB SSD and leave the second hard drive bay empty. Oh and regarding the cooling paste or whatever it is, I only picked it because It costs next to nothing (and probably does next to nothing). I thought maybe it would help keep the...

    Need help customising new gaming laptop

    There's an option to opt out of a hard drive altogether, would I be better off just buying the laptop with no storage space and then buying one of the 256GB Samsung SSD's you mentioned and installing it myself?

    Need help customising new gaming laptop

    I appreciate your reply. Yes, the firewire port an sound card are free and can't be removed. I can't find a laptop with an i5 cpu that has a gtx 780m gpu. I've not looked that hard but I guess since an i7 isn't necessary I might as well go with the cheapest i7 processor they offer? I don't...

    Gaming laptop in UK

    Sorry, I forgot to mention that the HDD won't be a problem, I've got a 256gb SSD that I'm going to replace the HDD with. RAM isn't a problem either as I've got a spare 4GB RAM that I could use if any suggested laptop has below 8GB RAM on it. Thank you very much for the link, I'll look into it...

    Gaming laptop in UK

    Hi everyone, I want to buy a gaming laptop that can run games like Skyrim on high settings at good FPS. After a lot of research, these two laptops are my preferences: Lenovo IdeaPad y510p Toshiba Qosmio x70 They're both pretty similar in terms of specs and price, the Toshiba comes out on top...

    Toshiba Qosmio X70-ABT2G22

    Yeah I don't mind the weight and size, but I just realised that it's not available in the UK (or so I think). Is there anywhere I can buy this in the UK? If not, is there a similar laptop that I can buy in the UK for a similar price? I don't care about the brand at all really. Thanks

    Toshiba Qosmio X70-ABT2G22

    Hi everybody, I recently posted a thread highlighting that I was about to purchase a Lenovo Ideapad y410p, but upon further research I found this Toshiba Qosmio X70-ABT2G22 which is better in pretty much every single way for a similar price. Should I go ahead and buy the Toshiba or is there a...

    How Powerful is my Laptop

    An additional solid state drive isn't necessary, but it's the easiest way to gain a significant boost in performance in my opinion. I don't have much stuff on my computer so I just bought a 256gb SSD and I put my entire HDD content onto it, the difference is pretty substantial.
