Hello everyone,
I'm ordering a new Laptop tonight and wondered if you have any better suggestions to the Laptop which I have chosen? I'm on a budget around £850 and if you link me anything please make sure it's a UK retailer as prices differ.

So the Laptop I think I will purchase later tonight is the Acer V Nitro Black 15.6", as seen here: http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/NX.MQLEK.002-Acer-Aspire-V-Nitro-VN7-591G-Black-Editi_1728639.html

So do you have any suggestions for a better Laptop around the same price before I purchase this one?

I will be carrying the Laptop around College so it need's to be light and thin.

Thanks for your help : )
Harry
 


Would you say the Acer one that I chose will be portable?
 
The laptop should more than ok for uni. I would say it is on the heavy side. What will be doing in uni? I ask this as you could get an ultrabook with a weaker gpu to save on battery life but you will have to sacrifice on some power.
 


It will be used for gaming whilst away you see 😛 I just hope it isn't too heavy :3
 
For gaming it is a good laptop. As for the weight, you will only know what is heavy or not.
