Hello! I am currently getting ready for going back to college, I am studying Video Game Tech and while I study I am unable to use my rig when I'm there so I have been unable to do any my coursework on my dinky little Chromebook which I took with me meaning that I would have to actually book out one of my college's gaming labs to do the work (which is normally hard to do as it's normally filled by overseas students in the same situation I am in or local eSports teams practicing DOTA, StarCraft 2 or CS:GO . After being home for awhile and being able to finally actually use my rig for both work and gaming (oh I have missed PC Gaming) and also being recommended by my friends in the year above that I am going to need 24/7 access to a powerful enough PC for the work load of year 2, am now looking for a Laptop to take with me while i'm in my student accommodations and to easily take to college with me.

 

So this is where I need your help, My budget is £950, but the less the better! I am going to be gaming on it so no intel HD or iris graphics and I'm needing at least an i7 (but not the Low Voltage chips) for my college work. 13inch laptops would be the preferred but I'm willing to carry a 15inch laptop in my bag.

 

I've found a couple so far :

MSI GP62 (£799)

The TN Panel does kinda put me off this laptop other than that it looks great!​

 

XMG A305 (£957)

http://mysn.co.uk/shop/xmg-a305-gaminglaptop.html

 

Config :

i7-4710MQ

GTX960M

16GB Crucial RAM

500GB WD Blue HD

125GB Samsung 850 EVO

Intel Dual Band Wireless

Windows 10 Home 

 

Please mind my poor grammar and spelling

 

EDIT :

Thanks for the help!

 

Now narrowed it down to two different laptops!

 

- MSI GE62 (£898.99)

-PCSpecialist's Optimus VI (Clevo W230SD)​ (£847)

Config:

13.3" Matte IPS 1920x1080

i7-4710MQ

16GB Kingston SODIMM 1600MHz
