Hello everybody! how would you rate this laptop for gaming? This was the best price deal i think i can get for this amount of money. However, I find a lot of different prices for the same specs which is very confusing between acer / asus usw.

Is the display really so bad? is it really worth to buy a gaming laptop?

For that price, you can build a better system:

This build is 41 euros over the price of that laptop but is much better. However, you would need to buy a monitor and peripherals separately. OS is in the price:

This one is within 1299 Euros, but has a smaller SSD:

The laptop seems a good deal honestly, considering prices in Europe and that it is from a prebuilt. If mobility is not an issue for you, consider the PC's I have posted. If not, that laptop is a real steal at that price in Europe and you should pick it up.
