Help Choosing a laptop.

[Noix]

Hello,

Thinking of getting a new laptop for Uni. Looking for any laptop really with an I7 cause im going to be doing alot of editing/ video work on it, but also to play the occasional game now and then when im not at home on my desktop. Thought about getting a macbook but I just think they are overpriced. 

 

Ive only really found this which I thought would be good for me, but if there are cheaper options with similar specs Id be happy for suggestions.

My budget is anything around £1000 really..

Any questions just leave down below. TY

That's a good one, but I've seen some really good priced laptops on another website. I'll edit this post when I find it.

8 GBs more RAM will work better for your video and photo editing. 

 

It's also $300 USD cheaper.

Don't get a laptop with the old 9 series gtx cards, the new 10 series is light years ahead in performance.

But they are a lot more expensive, and I don't think I really need the new 10 series.

That's a good price for what you get. a GS60 will run within thermal limits, but has a pretty meh battery life.
