£500 Gaming Laptop.

[Quido]

I just want the best performing laptop under £500. I can not get a desktop as i want to move it around, take it to other people's houses and use for studying.

Thanks.

It seems like you have already made your decision on what you wanted before you even posted? If you had it narrowed down to these few systems why did you leave it so open? I still stand by the sleekbook, I think it will offer a much better experience than anything else in that price range.

I have found this laptop.

Is it any good for gaming?
Also what about this? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lenovo-Ideapad-15-6-inch-Laptop-Chocolate/dp/B00B2HVYT6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1377014162&sr=8-1&keywords=lenovo+z500

I think this is very good value. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00C9UTMOO/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=computers

The only way you want to game for less than $700 is with a AMD APU so just throw out any Intel builds. And the HP notebook I posted is a sleekbook, which means great battery life, slim, light weight, and sexy as hell. Personally the HP notebook I listed is only missing a SSD and a touchscreen in my eyes, and its a perfect notebook. I cant make a different recommendation.

I cannot find your recommendation anywhere on UK websites. So if you could find another one it would be very helpful.

It looks pretty good as you can crossfire the iGPU and the GPU. I dont know how well this performs compared to an i3 3120m and a GT630m. Keep in mind the Intel option is £100 cheaper.

According to this they should be out in July of 2013, which was last month. So if they arnt out I would be calling HP letting them know about it. I still stand by my recommendation. If I was you I would order it on a American website and have it shipped.

I cant find it anywhere but i have found a similar one and this is £425 which is quite expensive compared to this one. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00C9UTMOO/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=computers
The GT 630m is better than the iGPU of your suggested laptop therefore it should be much better at gaming.

You make your pick, but Im telling you the sleekbook will perform better, and will be a much better machine.

Could you link a specific system instead of just a review of the design for an entire series.

This is the specific system. The reviews might not be. i3 3120m, 6GB RAM, 1TB HHD and GT 630m. (Main specs) http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00C9UTMOO/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=computers

Oh no for the sleekbook. I clicked the link for it but I couldn't find anything about the CPU or GPU insie of it.

CPU - AMD A10-4655M
iGPU - HD 7500g

 

[IInuyasha74]

oh then yes yours is better. The graphics are lacking and the CPU is similar.
Did you see the one I linked earlier? Its similar also but the graphics should be better than a 630M

Yea but i cannot find it in the UK. A different version of it, is a lot over budget.

Not even this one? I advised it to someone else in Brittan the other day and they said they had it on Amazon.

Here is the graphics on it.

Should be slightly better than the 630M it says, and then it also has crossfire to help.

I cannot find it. One other thing, is it worth spending £470 for an i5 3210m and GT 635m?

 

[IInuyasha74]

Well if google translated the currency right, I would so god no, but I don't really know how much PC stuff costs there so I can't really say.

A Gaming PC here for £400 is around $500 so i guess it will be the same for Laptops.
£470 = $570.

 

[IInuyasha74]

Well I suppose its not horrible. Too bad you don't have any connections here who could send it to you, cause at $570 theres a couple that out perform it, but if thats thebest one you can actually have delievered its still a good system.
