configure it with:
i7 quad core
8GB of RAM
gtx 880M
1080p screen
120gb samsung SSD
updated wireless card.
all within £1400 budget.
I am a nobody (on the internet) and a low level digital media video Editor in real life, so I am looking at many forums.
My needs are higher spec graphics cards and hard disk drives - which bring me into the realm of gaming laptops.
For the longevity that I am seeking (4 years was the distance my last unit went) I am searching for answers too.
I found:
http/www.utopiacomputers.co.uk/?module&id=about
They seem to be reputable and anyone on The-Gadget-Show's radar can't be that bad (in my opinion).
I am a former PC Specialist customer, but the price marks given on a replacement graphics card seem mercenary.
I would buy from PC Specialist again, but I am keen to see who else has arrived on the market in the last 3-4 years.
Hope that helps!
