Hey, I'm just starting a PhD and need a laptop to get me through the 3 years. My old Dell is a brick and struggles with almost all games now (Nvidia GT525m). I would like something that can handle games pretty well but is also pretty slim in design. I have had a look around and the best thing I can find so far is the: FANGBOOK EDGE 4K GAMING NOTEBOOK. (http://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk/system/FANGBOOK_EDGE_4K_Gaming_Notebook)
I wondered if anyone had any other suggestions? they would be much appreciated thank you!
