Im gonna rack your brains here, so if you got no patience leave now xD
Ive got a desktop gaming rig, love it. Spend 70% of my free time on it.
However im looking for a laptop for the times when im not at home.
Im not looking at buying just yet, after Christmas, As i am a student who works two evenings and weekends, i need to save, and Christmas is good because of the overtime.
First thing was Alienware, love the look of there stuff, and made by Dell so usually high quality, however there very expensive. ie charging £360 for a 256gb SSD. But i found a good Deal in the end:
------------------------------------
i7-3630QM
GeForce GTX 675M 2Gb
6GB Ram (however its a 2Gb & a 4Gb but charge £90 to change to 8Gb!!)
500GB 7,200 HDD (which ill upgrade to a 256gb corsair SSD for £200)
Killer Wireless-N 1103
9 cell
Creative Sound Blaster Recon3Di
Total Cost: £1.298.99
inc SSD: £1500
-------------------------------------
Pros: Looks Good, Trusted Brand.
Cons: Glossy Screen, Small RAM, no blu-ray.
------------------------But it looks soooo good.
-------------------------------------
My Next option is MSI: they have the cashback offers going at the moment which means i can get:
------------------------------------
i7 3610QM
GeForce GTX 670M 3Gb
12GB (3x4GB)
2x 750 GB (Raid: Can i disable this and put an SSD in as primary?)
Killer Wireless-N 2100
9-cell
Dynaudio
Total Cost: £1,698.20
Inc Cashback: £1298.20
-------------------------------------
Pros: Matt Screen, Bluray.
Cons: Doesnt look as good, seen alot of moaning about this brand.
-------------------------------------
Logically looking at these the MSI is better.
And when picking tech, i normally always go for performance over looks.
but a desktop in my room is alot different to a laptop to travel with.
What your comments, i dont mind fact and opinion.
Or do you think this is to much money to spend on a casual gaming laptop?
and do you have any other suggestions i may have missed.
