[Logikes]

Hello, can anyone recommend a gaming laptop for around the £1500 - £1800 mark? Thanks in advanced.

I’m looking to buy one in like May next year and I’ve been eyeing the 1070 variant of this unless something new comes out:

Comes with some nice freebies too atm, only issue is storage. Only 256GB for the cheaper model (512GB on the £1900 1070 model)


Or you could get this:

Similar specs but with a 1TB HDD too

yeah been looking at a few MSI they look slightly bulky in videos was looking towards the Razer Blade "15 but MSI have several a lot cheaper with better specs

 

[LordVile]

Blades are stupid expensive plus they don’t have a great record for breaking. Not the best source but LTT bought a boatload for the staff and nearly all had to be RMA’d or needed to be inside 12 months.

Also I’m not too bothered about thickness personally as long as it’s manageable in weight terms.

Yeah do seem rather expensive for the spec been looking at this one https://www.box.co.uk/9S7-17C522-625-MSI-GP73-Leopard-8RF-625UK_2409913.html?wgu=13045_116019_15455102566099_ea08d664e9&wgexpiry=1553286256&source=webgains&siteid=116019#DetailTop

Looks good to me

Yeah trying to decide between that one an Dell G5 as can get the Dell G5 with 4k screen for under £1300 but 1060 Graphics what you reckon?

 

[LordVile]

You won’t be able to run a 4K screen with a 1060 well for gaming so unless you need it for some other reason you probably should go for the 120Hz one. Be better for gaming.

yeah was thinking that prefer the look of the msi too thanks for the help

Welcome even though it was more of a sounding board than an answer 😉
