Is the following spec decent for £1499? I've had a browse on here and a Google and I believe this to be a decent price. Thought I'd check in on here before spending a wedge on a laptop. Thanks in advance.

Have you checked out the Dell Outlet, can get good deals on there. I would rather an Alienware than a HP.

I've had a look but others on here have had issues with the alienware laptops, mainly overheating and having to return them.

The high street catalogue shop currently have a Medion Erazer 7700 GTX 1070 Laptop for £1323. Tbh for the price it's a fantastic machine and well worth a look. It's pretty much identical in spec to the HP posted but has better cooling and more upgrade options.

Alienware are ok but god help you f you need to deal with Dell support they are horrendous on every level.

I have an Alienware 15. On most forums, you'll only ever hear about people who have had problems, sometimes exaggerating their issues. The vast majority of people who have perfectly working laptops never post about their positive experiences, regardless of which manufacturer it is.

I've had my Alienware for a year and it's been excellent. Not a single issue and it's been currently on 24 hours a day for the the past 3 months. I'd recommend the Outlet as well. I saved about £800 off the price and got a brand new unit.

Not saying you are wrong or owt but how do you know the Medion has better cooling than the HP?

Medion rebrand Clevo/Sager notebooks. There's plenty of info on the cooling of Clevos online.

Yeah, I've heard of them Clevo. Not heard of Medion.
