Hey all,
Im a desktop man, but have recently run into the need to buy a laptop. However, I would still like a laptop powerful enough to game on when not at home and as such, would like a little help.
My requirements are:
- Minimum of GTX 850m (or AMD equivalent)
- Mnimum of i5 CPU
- Screen size between 14-16"
- 6-8GB RAM
I am not fussed about 1080p screens, and will be quite happy with 1366x768 or similar.
So far, Ive found these 15.6" Laptops:
- £650 Acer Aspire Nitro V N7-571G (i5-4210u / 6GB RAM / GTX 850m / 60gb SSD + 1TB HDD /720p)
- £655 Cube Chameleon CZ-5850 (i5-4210m / 8GB RAM / GTX 850m / 1TB HDD / 720p)
- £680 PC Specialist Cosmos II (i5-4210m / 8GB RAM / GTX 850m / 1TB HDD / 1080p)
The Acer seems like the best value, due to the 60GB SSD, but Im not sure on the looks or the fact it will come with Windows 8 instead of 7.
The Cube seems like the best all rounder for the money.
The Cosmos II is more pricey due to the (unchangeable) 1080p screen, which Im not a big fan of as Im more than happy to game at 768p on a laptop, and would prefer the FPS gains.
So, could anyone help me out with any points on the above, or with any other options?
Thanks in advance,
Gallarian
