Hi - I'm completely new to laptop gaming and seek some advice. I (think) I found one that suits my needs for a little over my budget.
I generally don't play the very latest games on highest settings! I might occasionally dabble but it's more likely to be SimCity or Combat Mission: Normandy. This machine is replacing a desktop and I do use video editing software and often have several apps running at once.
Does £830 seem reasonable for what I'd get?
Will I be able to play what I want and manage applications to edit video etc?
Should I perhaps look to change one of the components (I want to stay below £900)?
What if I wanted to run newer FPS? Can these specs handle something - perhaps on lower settings?
Specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7 4710MQ
Operating System: Microsoft® Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
RAM: 8GB Corsair 1600mhz Vengeance Sodimm (2x4GB)
Hard Drive: 1TB S-ATAIII 6.0Gb/s 2.5"
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M 2GB
Many thanks in advance.
