Go to solution Solved by ShadowCaptain,

I noticed the 17.3" one as well that was also cheaper than the 15" is there and reason for that cause that sounds perfect with an i7 and a SSD :)

Looking to buy a new laptop for basic gaming and mostly coursework for college and my engineering course. I need it to have at least a decent GPU and at least an I5 haswell if at all possible; thinking of buying this with in the next couple of months , mainly jan or dec. Max amount I want to spent is £1000 anything less would be great.

regards

Sparky

If its basic gaming then an i7 and a GTX 860M will do you. There are laptops there for less than $900.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=LT-205-AS&groupid=959&catid=1828 - interesting compared to the JM that specs are similar, don't know about this one due to the Jm being a little more power efficent.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=LT-026-GI&groupid=959&catid=1828 - quite like this laptop for sure.

thanks, some of these are some great options. I like the blade but comparing the JX to the JM is an interesting thing, due to the similar specs, as the jm is more power efficient compared to the JX.
