Searching for £800-£1100 Gaming Laptop

[RickL]

Hi All,

I have been rocking my Dell Inspiron 15R for some 3-4 Years now and its long in the tooth. Very impressed with the build quality.

 

Im looking for something around £800-£1100 tops.

Latest i7.

M2dot SSD Boot + 500gb HDD.

GTX 960 or higher. I play on World of Warships, EVE Online, BF4 alot.

Illuminated keyboard.

15" !!!! (I hate the size of 17" laptops and I'd just use my PC).

A top notch AC Wireless card.

Low thermals to the left of the keyboard where you would rest your hand for WASD movements.

Nice simple clean looks is a plus.

 

Im confused by the market, so many choices with MSI. Iv already noticed the Dell 7559 and the Asus ROG GL552VW.

But really, I dont know which is better, I like the thought of a 4k monitor but the 970 wouldnt run games at that resolution so theres no point of that.

I Like the specs and looks.... Asus ROG GL752VW

Dell 7559, but i watched on videos that it hits some 50c on the surfaces of the keyboard! Dell 7559 Link

and as said about the MSI ones... so many combo's but not sure whats best, also I dont really like the looks of them but thats just a bonus.

 

What do you guys think?

I vote for the Lenovo, I clearly don't love Lenovo at all

Get this and call it a day. With 3 cooling fans, thermals are not really a problem. From my experience with an older variant with a Haswell CPU, when gaming I feel no heat at all on the keyboard. But when playing games on battery you have to take note a little, the battery is underneath the left palm rest, but who games on battery anyway.

Leaders at the moment are the Dell 7559, Asus ROG GL775WV, Lenovo Y70.

 

I have checked out the MSI and the Defiance / Cosmos range but I really dont like the looks of the laptops, I know its a bonus but...

 

After watching many reviews, the Lenovo wins against the Dell, now to compare against the ASUS.

Well in our country the main difference of Dell and Asus is the price and the gap is quite wide so we always recommend the Dell, although the shortcomings of the dell are it's keyboard and screen.:)), But dell has better after sales service than Asus.:)

Don't even look at the Cosmos series lel, they are ugly I admit. But the Defiance 15 II will outperform most of the laptops in your list. Linus also done a review on a machine similar to the Defiance 15 II before, which bears the name Venom Blackbook 15. Practically the same frame, but the components on the motherboard are now replaced with a Skylake CPU, G-Sync capability, M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 with NVMe support. These are all Clevo machines and Clevo machines are top-notch, you would not go wrong with them.
