Depends to what extent you determine "gaming" to be.

I'm at uni atm and i can easily game on my ultrabook with a dedicated GPU. Granted, it's not the greatest but it can easily play games on good frames. 

 

If you're interested OP, i'm using this.

If you want more power, have a look at MSI GE series;however, you sacrifice the form factor for the added performance.

that laptop u linked is very nice and is the case aluminium?

Hi everyone, i have been needing a laptop for university as i cant use my gaming pc at university because it uses too much electricity. (side note i have to move out of parents house to go to university because i live on an island without education that goes that far) i would like a laptop that is very solid and is powerfull enough that i can still play games with my friends and i need it to be fairly thin so i can easily transport it between classes. any recomendations will be appreciated and just another side note: UK websites only please. thanks

I would suggest an MSI one, looks pretty fancy and I heard great reviews about them. I haven't looked on other sites so you might want to check out for that. But here on amazon there is this one for 999 pounds.

Sorry mate but the only laptop I can think of that fullfills those needs and is even close to 1K Sterling is this one:

 

http://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-GS70-2OD-021UK-17-3-inch-processor/dp/B00EOQPZ1K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381767390&sr=8-1&keywords=msi+gs70 = 1649.99 Sterling

 

Other then that you are quite out of luck :(

Very true! I just auto assumed he wanted a gaming laptop. :wacko:  If gaming at high to ultra settings isn't need then you can easily get something thinner

 

Sorry for misreading :P

no they didnt it is just that the electricity bill would cost too much for me to handle along side rent and other bills.
