Buying a performance laptop (Max Price £650)

[Reiss-E-boy]

Hello

I'm currently looking for a laptop to replace my ageing Toshiba C660. The only reason why I'm needing a new one is for the simply fact is it's getting too slow (Hardware wise)
Specs are

i3-M370 running at 2.4 GHz
8GB of RAM
Intel HD Graphics (Ironlake I believe)

Now the laptop I need has to be below £650 (Amazon.co.uk is preferred) and must be at least an i5 or the AMD equivalent and also Dedicated graphics is a must. I mainly use it for light gaming, work and virtualisation (If you can call World of Tanks light ) But the only games I mostly will be playing are World of Tanks and most source engine games but that's really it just as long as I can play World of Tanks at medium at a decent fps I'm happy.

Thanks in Advance

yeah from amazon is a massive pain in the arse. the only thing even relatively decent is this: http/www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-GP60-2OD-463XUK-15-6-inch-Bluetooth/dp/B00I0RLPFE/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1399153171&sr=1-2&keywords=gaming+laptop

however off of amazon you can get much better - pcspecialist.co.uk - cosmos 15 - you can get an I7 4700, 8 GB RAM, gtx 850M all for £650. If you want to drop down to an I5 4200M then you can buy a 7200rpm HDD as well as an upgraded wireless - if you're on a uni course I recommend the intel AC 7260.

+1

OP, what are your reasons off only going on Amazon? The GP60 is a great laptop though.

actually the GP60 is supposed to have somewhat questionable build performance, and I made a mistake on the confid for pcspecialist, you only get an I5 4210M for £650, but still that would be more than enough
