[Jayvus]

I would like to buy a good gaming laptop which can last several years.

Prize:
I would like to spend 1300€ for a laptop + SSD

Processor
atleast I7

Graphics card
If possible GTX860m with 2GB DDR5

Hard drive
something HDD with 7200rpm and a SSD slot

Display
17 inch

RAM
8 GB with additional slot or more

Does someone have any suggestions?

Clevo - W370ss, P170SM-A, or P177SM-A
Asus - G750JM or G750JS
MSI - GT70 Dominator or GS70

Just a few suggestions.

Too bad the most are thick or get expensive quick.
Do you also have some 15.6 inch suggestions?

 

[Jayvus]

Also thinking about the lenovo y50, but then I have to wait a long time...
Someone who knows when it releases in Belgium?

Sure:

Clevo: W355SSQ or P150SM-A
Asus: N550JK or G550
MSI: GS60, GT60, or GX60

We have no ETA on European release dates, but I will say the Y50 looks promising and fits said needs (aside from being a 15.6" screen).

Damned, they say it will be end july. I can't wait that long. Btw if I choose for the 4k screen, I have to turn down the resolution on games, right?

 

[Prostar Computer]

Not manually, no. The game will run at its highest supported resolution automatically.

but if a game supports 4k then either the laptop will auto adjust or you will have to turn it down for anything more than single digit fps.
you're in luck: gigabyte laptops have made their 14'' laptop chassis available to custom builders. the best european one would be mysn.eu
if you stretch your budget a wee bit for the OS and the upgrade to the 8GB RAM, its well worth it - its a 14' screen, is less than 1'' thick and weighs less than 2kg, also has an I7 with gtx 860M

I was also thinking about mysn, maybe de A704. But, I know someone who makes custom laptops, I choose a model, say what I need and he estimates a price.

well, I'm not going to lie, mysn does tend to be overpriced compared to other custom builders nationally. However they have really good build quality.
the A704 is a sound model to start with - if you're friend knows clevo chassis, its the W370SS - however I don't remember that model being compatible with an 860M - so it may be an update on that model.
just mention Clevo W370SS, I7 4710, 860M, 8GB RAM, 1080p and all the rest of it. He should estimate between 900-1000, if not then just get it from mysn.

Yes, the W370SS is the refresh, which supports the 860M. The W370ST is the predecessor.
