Why would you buy a gaming laptop for that price if you can get a better computer for less? xD

More than likely won't be / isn't only at a static location so a desktop probably wouldn't suit!

I like the colours

A very good question, and one that I can answer:

A desktop PC would be better spec per price.

Also @Samatlewis does point out the mobility advantage...

The MAIN reason why I am getting the laptop over the desktop is that Work have purchased it for me, so it is effectively free (I cant take a desktop home from work )

Aaah that explains it. It's a good laptop though

thanks, fingers crossed I can drive in Arma3 now without crashing... but I have the suspicion that it wasn't the low fps that causes me to crash so often

Interestingly, I just did a comparable desktop build (including 4k screen, as the laptop has one) 

and it comes out at £1400, considering the laptop is 1700 (with a 10% off they had) its not that much different!

Uhmm....nice laptop but I think its a bit overpriced..I have seen laptops with better specs at cheaper prices...good luck with it!

 

[James_W12345]

yer it is expensive, but its also "free"

So uhhhh where do i sign up for this job? free gaming laptop? sure thing, sign me up.

 

[James Blezard]

Well it is certainly better than my pc, I'm looking at about 10-15 FPS in Kavala if I'm lucky. Can't wait to see you stream on this beast!

The specs on that laptop are insane. Think the price is a little out of my range though
