Hi there, Im looking for help into choosing a laptop for gaming for no more than £1000
(Would Like to get a desktop, but need the Portability as I'm still at college, and travel to my parents houses)
Thanks :L
 
You would be better using the £1000 to buy a Desktop as you will have better upgrade options in the future. Also desktops are better for running games. If you are wanting something small you could go with a Micro ATX build. Something like this would run the latest games at 1080p no problem > http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/Fh97nQ
 


Thanks for the Reply, i would like to get a desktop and i know that you get much better specs for the same price with them. But i prefer at this time to have a laptop, as i am still in college so would need the portability of a laptop :/
 
I am no expert, but I can say you should look at Asus, MSI, and maybe a custom laptop for that price. Go to Newegg, or a similar site for the UK, and look at their systems. Some of them can be good deals. You should be able to get a really decent higher-end laptop for £1000.
 


Would you be taking the laptop to college with you or do you want it for taking to your college home if you have one
 
Hey Curti, I'm a university student and replaced my Desktop with a GS70 from msi, you pay a premium for the size however it was a good buy. If you have to carry it around college you would probably want a 15inch laptop, a custom laptop https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/notebooks/optimusV-15/ looks good for what you need and PCSpecialists seem to have the best price for custom laptops. Go with a quadcore i7, 8gb RAM, SSD Main Drive and hard-drive for college stuff ect then you've got a good all around system, it's not the best looking laptop and is bulky but is one of the best laptops you can get for the prices they sell.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=LT-023-GI&groupid=959&catid=1828 is also a good option but with a slower 850m dedicated graphics solution. The 860m Gigabyte (14") http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=LT-015-GI&groupid=959&catid=1828 Seems a very good small option too and http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=LT-174-MS&groupid=959&catid=1828 has a 850m for a premium but damn does it look good !
 
I just bought an Asus ROG 751 series, and the quality is extremely poor. Check out the ROG forums before you pull the trigger on any of their new gear.
