Is this laptop worth it.

[spinetic]

I am looking for a 1500 laptop that can play games like skyrim and lol at high fps on high graphics. Would this laptop be worth this amount of money?

Seems like it, but check out ibuypower, falcon, origin laptops and see if you can get something better. They tend to have some good deals.
But! If your not really going to take it around much, maybe build a PC? Alot of people with gaming laptops tend to leave it at home, which defeats the purpose.
LoL and Skyrim(depending on the mods xD) are not that demanding.
Your listed Laptop has 16gb RAM, you don't need more than 8GB. (Especially not with those two mentioned games)

[Jake Wenta]

hmm thanks for the option but I don't think I would use that. Is there any other laptops that ship in Australia that you would recommend?

Sorry they don't ship there. Darn shipping restrictions.

I'm will check other companies, and if they ship to your Country.
But what will you be doing with this laptop may I ask? Will it be leaving your house, and often?

 

[Jake Wenta]

OriginPC says they'll ship to AU, but they come a more pricier. (They one you choose is a better deal over Origins Laptops) And Falcon is way more expensive.

But if you will not be leaving the house with it often enough, I really recommend a Desktop. You can really get a super machine for ~1500.


Here's a nice one I found pre-made with 3GB 770m GPU, with 1600 RAM and i7-4700 at 2.4/3.4gHz and ships globally.
(You may be able to play BF4 on Ultra 1080p with this) And free 8.1 upgrade from windows 8.

Here's another, but it has a 765m, it's almost like the one you listed -but 17" and some changes here and there.
