Deciding between two laptops and need some advice/direction

[mattatcomputer]

Hi guys,

UK here.

I'm trying to make a decision between two laptops for uni. I don't care if it is 15 or 17 inches or how heavy it is. But I do care how much noise it makes - the quieter the better. I also want to be able to play most games at high settings a couple of years down the line. The main difference between the two is the GPU - is it worth shelling out £100 more for a GTX 970m rather than an GTX 880m? I've heard that the PCSpecialist one doesn't have a great screen either. The first one has some nice extras too - 16GB RAM and SSD 128 GB.

Can you chime in with your thoughts please?

I would personally just stick with the NVIDIA GTX 880M; it still is a pretty strong card that will last for years, and if it results in you saving money, go for it!

I would get the 970m if you need a lot of gpu power. Otherwise the gtx 880m is still a good gpu.

Thanks for the input guys. I've decided to go for the Medion laptop!
