I want a laptop that is:

• Light

• 1080p or higher resolution
• has a good GPU for gaming (mostly Dota, LoL, CS, Payday2, Dayz and maybe a couple of AAA titles like GTA V, Battlefield etc.)
• 16GB of ram
• SSD and HDD
• Budget of £1000
• somewhere that offers student discount if possible
• looks are always a plus.

I would say this XMG (clevo) is your best bet.

I quite like the xmg c406 model but it says it's coming soon

do you have any idea when it will be released. I can't find anything online

Don't get that, that is essentially the Gigabyte P34, which you should expect to burn the shit out of you.

^ Essentially the same as the P406, but done by a company based in the UK and should offer a better price than XMG.

the reason i liked the XMG c406 is because its soooooo light and powerful at the same time. i mean 1.7kg is nothing, not even a bag of potatoes

the one MR excercutor5 said is nice, it weighs a bit more though. but i like these suggestions. any others guys?

the c406 thermal throttlesand that is NOT a nice thing. The one he recommended is 100% the same as the XMG I recommended expect for the logo.

its a bit pricey i think was looking for something around the £1000 mark, £1100 max

when i customize the one you suggested with a 970m and a 256gb ssd it comes up to £1260. which i find a bit out of my budget.

you mean the other XMG model? its just as expensive  , i've dialed it down to £1150, it does seem appealing. do you know if they do any student discount

also do you know who makes their keyboards?

https://gyazo.com/20646759b967ecfef56d148062c11c0c this is the model im talking about.

i cant find any information about when its getting released or if its a mistake. 

im quite happy with the P406 though, it seems nice, i've customized it and its £1100 now. i just cant figure out how much it weighs

I meant the other clevo rebranded laptop the other guy recommend, I don't know who is making the keyboards, but they are okay. I have no idea about student discount.

The 14" Defiance II is what i was looking at from PCSPECIALIST

 

[Pendragon]

The Defiance 2 14inch linked above is one of the best.

it is 100% the same as the xmg p406, so what I have said about the XMG also goes for the defiance II.
