Looking for online store to buy gaming laptop

[dea2k]

Looking for online store to buy gaming laptop with shipping to UK. I am trying to find an online to for it, but in all sites laptops are overpriced by +/- 200USD. For example in amazon.com lenovo y700 cost 800 USD, but in amazon.co.uk same spec y700 costs 800+ GBP (1000+ USD).

 

Can anyone offer online store with normal prices? All I want is gtx 960m GPU and no OS. I don't want to overpay for laptop just because of OS when I have already bought it.

you probably won't find a cheaper one. I ordered to austria and here its the same, and if you import it from us you have to pay for customs duty (not sure how its really called google translator ftw) and you are sitting at the same price

 

but I hope someone corrects me and tells me that I am wrong because that is not only the case with laptops

You're wrong LOL. Just gotta find the right retailers in your country.

Remove the OS and upgrading the CPU brings you to just under 700 after VAT. Then for RAM and storage just upgrade yourself with what you have and it'll be cheaper than getting it straight from the config. (I actually don't know if RAM and storage in UK are overpriced that much so check your amazon prices against upgrading against upgrading on the config)

 

@dea2kI looked on Amazon UK and I dont even see a Y700 under 950...cheapest one with the intel version comes in a 960 pounds. For that price you can upgrade on the configurator to 16gb 512ssd and 2tb hdd.

Because there are no "custom" laptops. Every single. And I mean every single "custom" laptop you see outside of the big manufacturers use rebrands of Clevo or other manufacturers like msi, dell, hp. It takes an absolute fortune to design and produce a chassis, and nobody down to spend money on that outside of the established manufacturers. 

 

This "custom" original laptop: https://www.originpc.com/gaming/laptops/evo15-s/

is the MSI GS60.

 

@dea2k the one i linked you is the Clevo Rebrand, N155RD.
