Hi everyone,
I am looking for a nice laptop that combines power and small formfactor within a €1000-1500 price range.
I came across this website where I could configure my own laptop with all sorts of components.
I configured this:

i7-4720HQ
Nvidea GeForce gtx 965m
15.6" Matte 3K display (2880x1620)
16Gb 1600MHz RAM
1Tb 7200rpm HDD
M.2 adata 128Gb SSD
No drive
Backlit deviance keyboard
25mm thickness

For a total of 1300 euros

Is this a good deal? It seems like a steal to me.
I would like to hear your ideas and thoughts on this in the comments

Thanks in advance!

Seems like a good option but I am planning to use it mostly for school. I'm going to study game development: production and design. So I thought, a higher resolution would mean more work space and better multi-window multitasking. Right?
But for the gaming side of things a 970m would sure be a hell of a upgrade, something like 40% I think.

Also, I just looked in to it. But it seems I can only get a 970m in a different case. The 970m is only available in thicker laptops because of the heat I think. So that means that the portability would suffer due to the upgrade of the GPU.

thats what i ended up thinking too, but i came across a other barebone with a even better price quality ratio.
its a bit thicker at 30.9mm but still light and it has the same components except for a 1080p display and a 970m gpu.
its cheaper overall too!!

what do you think?
its a compal nl8, look it up ;)
 
I looked for this laptop online but they all say that the lapop has a gtx 860m. Could you give me the link>
If this is the case though, it is a much better deal than the original one.
