Hi there shadow captain, i really respect and appreciate your advice and overall insight into computing specifications.

I'm no stranger to the gaming community although i am an absolute novice when it comes down to gaming desktops and gaming laptops.

I'm currently in the process of trying to buy my first gaming laptop for a budge of < £1,200 which i can also use for video editing and design work. The features i am looking for include: good screen quality, a good build chassis , a good cpu/gpu. I have found 2 laptops and i would appreciate it if you could briefly tell me if they are any good for what im looking for and if the price does justice for the specs...
