Desktop Replacement - Recommendations Wanted

[HotRunes]

Budget (including currency): £1000 (around $1400 US)

Country: United Kingdom

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Various PC games, big MMO player though.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

 

Hi there,

 

I currently have a capable gaming desktop, though it could do with an upgrade in terms of the CPU/RAM/motherboard. But it's not always comfortable and relaxing to come home from work (having been sat at a desk all day) and have to sit at a desk to play PC games, ideally I'd rather chill on the couch or in bed.

 

I'm looking into buying a semi-desktop replacement, and my budget is around £1000 ($1400 US, as I live in the UK). I want something that should comfortably be able to max out or at least deliver close to high end graphics for most current and upcoming PC games. The laptop wouldn't actually be taken out of my house, and would probably always be plugged into the mains (so I can game for longer periods of time).

 

Is this possible with my budget? And if so, could anyone provide some recommendations please?

 

Thank you for your help.

If you have a solid wifi router I would look into in-home streaming. When i want to game in bed I use my iPad Pro with a discreetly run ethernet cable to get 1440p 120hz gaming through moonlight and when I want to sit on the couch I use my TV with a shield pro and nvidia game streaming. The in home streaming works well on my iPad even when not wired, I just drop it to 1080p.

Sorry, it's not a desktop I want, I was asking for recommendations on gaming laptops for £1000 ($1400 US).

I see, I believe we might've misread that. 

We'll figure something out.

That was an estimate between two currencies, £1000 is actually about $1190 USD.

Parts ALSO cost different amounts in different countries, when you account for all that, the build is actually £1400+ in the UK.

 

Plus, we've recently learned he wanted a laptop, not a desktop.
