New Gaming Laptop

[hearmenow]

Hey everyone! back again,

I was wondering if anyone could offer me some advice,

I have recently had to return my laptop to amazon, fault hdmi ports etc and they no longer stock my laptop so have very kindly offered me a refund. (great service!) So I have £700 to add to the kitty.

I saw this

Just wondered what you guys thought about current laptop purchases and the best bang for buck. I dont mind pushing up to £1000 or so. The one listed is £960 for amazon.

Many thanks in advance for any advice.

Very nice - take it

My preference - 1. Asus g750, 2. MSI G, 3. Lenovo
No HP, No Dell

For 1000 you won't get i7 4800 and/or gtx 880m - they'd be 2000

The i74700 and gtx850m is close enough though

Thanks for the feedback, I dont mind pushing out a few hundred more. Not sure If I could possibly upgrade this machine any more or even If I would need to. I mainly use it for 3D modelling and probably wildstar at most. I currently have a 500gb SSD which I will just put into that. So not sure if there is anywhere I can pickup a build without an operating system / harddrive to save money.

well do you want to stay on amazon? or are you willing to use a custom builder:
pcspecialist.co.uk/ - these guys are currently supplying pc world and curries - so they aren't muppets.
a good start would be the 15.6' vortex LE

I mean I would move away from Amazon it's just that their custom service has been top notch so it always seems worth the extra bit of money. I have seen PC specialist but always a bit skeptical about these sites as they do add a extra bit of money to them.

One problem I'm finding is finding something that's recently just come out with laptops so many different models that I'm not sure what I should be aiming for really.

2 x GT755m's wouldn't run as good as a GTX850m - GT vs GTX

You can configure a good gaming laptop on there for cheaper than prebuilt pc's
