Is a dedicated GPU a requirement? Also what kind of content creation are you doing?

Would be great if there is because I want to game a bit too, I want to edit videos for school and photoshop as well

I have no idea if there's gonna be a P55 v5 anytime soon, but this is slightly over $1,000 USD, and with the extra money get yourself some extra gear.

My friend has one of these and he looks like he hasn't had any trouble with them.

Well you could just go macbook for video editing if you can use FCPX. But for gaming.. the Blade is pretty awesome, otherwise something from Lenovo perhaps?

Actually, how much is the Surface book where you are? It's a pretty amazing piece of hardware.

I'm in Australia so prices are a bit higher here

hey m8 i live in australia too and i am going to yr 11 and needed a laptop to game on and to take to school. i ended up getting a lenovo y700 from ncix with international shipping and i like it very much. It costs

$1475 cad which converts to $1461 aud

+$90 shipping +$24 insurance and +$243 customs fee it totals at $1804

the i7 model is $2300 from harvey norman so thats a pretty good deal.
