What's the best laptop on the market right now (UK)

[Metrize]

What's a good laptop for university? I need it to have top specs the lower the price the better. I've been looking at Dell xps?

 

No Apple

 

Need to be able to play casual games (FM 16, league csgo dota)

xps 15 is a beast but dell 7559 is a budget beast,it up to you  hat you want in a computer .In terms of laptop these 2 are perfect for your needs, the price difference is the quality difference.

... That would be horrible for Uni.

 

OP, Dell XPS is a good series, if it fits your budget then go for it.

Dell XPS 15 is the best laptop I can recommend. It's like a Macbook Pro for Windows enthusiasts.

Now I wouldn't go that far.

The XPS line has a good reputation, but I'd be amazed if they were better than ThinkPads.

What about this?

 

It seems like a top specs and cheaper than the xps. Does an i5 have much difference to an i7 in laptops?

 

 

This one even has a 4k screen

CPU and GPU is far from the only thing that matters when you talk price. Dell has cut a lot of corners with that laptop to get it down to that price.

 

The CPU question, that comes down to what you do, if you only game then a i5 is more than enough for a 960m, but if you do some sort of rendering or editing, then the i7 will be much better

If you are interested in the Dell XPS 15 (which I totally recommend), it might be worth while to wait just a bit longer. The Dell XPS 15 9360 should be coming out very soon, probably early-mid January from what I've heard. The refreshed model will feature the new 7th generation Kaby Lake processors which is a bit of an improvement, but most importantly will feature a desktop grade Geforce GTX 1050 GPU. It sounds like they are going to be quite a bit superior performance-wise to the current 9350 model.
