Gaming laptops

[Penfold]

We talked about these at the LAN But I really can't remember what you chaps were recommending.

if you were going to buy a new gaming laptop what would you go for?

Just make sure it's got a decent network card this time Pen

Albert's laptop looked pretty damn good, I'm sure he'll be along shortly to enlighten...

Ragnah had a Republic of gaming one which was pretty cool. I think it caught TL eye

like TL i still love the ASUS gaming laptop (N55SF) that we both bought  (separately before anyone starts anything). And if i was going to buy another one i would stay with the same brand

Thanks but there was one in particular that he showed me. something to do with a chipset or something. Anyway, I'm sure he'll give me a nudge when he sees the thread

The above link for Asus lists the Asus ROG G750 range, the G750JH is the one with the most powerful graphics (GTX780M), I think Ragnarh had the G750JW which at the time was the second best in the range but with the launch of the 780M in the G750JH is now the third best.    All the G750s run with the H87M chipset.   Assuming nothing happens between now and the next LAN then that's the one I will be aming to replace my current N55 with as much as I like the N55, it's really not a gaming powerhouse.

Thanks.

That's the baby but 2k, cricky!

I may curtain my ambitions somewhat lol or what to see if it comes done when it becomes more available in the UK.

What I'd really love is the ability like these to have  2xHDD but in in a 15.6" lappie. That way one SSD for the operating system and a larger sta one for my work information.

Prices come down as you cut the graphics a bit.

G750JH (graphics=780M) - £1,839
G750JX (graphics=770M) - c.£1,300
G750JW (graphics=765M) - c£1,050

Thanks.

I presume that any of the above would run our complement of games pretty easily?

Pretty much yes.   There are other small variances in the spec of each, but that's the gfx range.
