I had this laptop for a while and tbh it was considerably better than I thought it would be. Runs all the games perfectly. For £799 it's a bargain.

why not £100 discount? cashbash is a pita

they operate on the assumption that ~50% of people will buy it due to the cashback but not bother or forget untill its too late, i did the same with my samsung 840 a while back, though it was only £20, so instead of £100 it only costs them £50 profit a unit
 
Wish I'd gotten one of these instead of the one I got (from the people whose name starts with a D) a while (6 months?) ago.
Mines an IB i7, but this has a much better graphics card.

Yea that's fairly insulting.

well, i wouldnt say insulting, since theres nothing stopping people actually claiming the cashback, MSI/samsung/whoever just rely on peoples lazyness and apathy to minimize how much it costs them overall.

im holding out for haswells power improvements for my next laptop personally anyway though
 
Thanks! Will have a ponder, the most intensive thing I'd likely be looking to play is currently BF3 (and hopefully BF4 later in the year!)

Its mainly things like Football Manager, Civilisation V & Hearts of Iron type games I'd be looking to play.

It would become CPU limited on multiplayer on BF3 (unless you deliberately try to cover the low performance of the CPU by using higher graphic setting than the 7870M should be using). Also seen some review that this laptop does poorly on lowly threaded games such as Skyrim and other mmos with the CPU dragging the legs of the 7970M.

Hmm, that doesn't sound particularly promising.

The thing about CPU limitation is that that's not much you can tinker in graphic settings which will greater increase the frame rate; having a fast CPU and a slower graphic on the other hand (i.e. i7 3630QM with a GTX660M) would allow you to play games at higher frame rate at the sacrifice of using lower graphic settings...with that said, 660M won't be fast enough allow you to having nice graphic details turn up on 1920 res.

So as much as I hate to say it, it would be best go with a IvyBridge Quad-core CPU together with a 7970M or 675MX is want to game on 1920 res on a laptop, but of course that would mean cost more money.

This laptop should do better once new consoles are out with more games using at least 4 threads, but at the end of the day, this Trinity CPU is slow if you compare to the desktop counterparts- it's even overall slower than a 6 years old Q6600.

Mine played BF3 multiplayer, guild wars 2 and Skyrim ok.

Yea I guess it's down to expectation.

I mean I can play Guild Wars 2 "ok" on my a secondary PC with Pentium G2120 with a 8800GTS, but it is far from ideal comparing to my main system, with even the G2120 bottlenecking even a lowly 8800GTS at demanding scenes (i.e. 40 people zerging a dragon plus its minions) with frame rate drop to single figure.

I was tempted to get one of this PC for playing Guild Wars 2, but the lack of CPU upgrade path (in contrast to desktop PC) pretty much killed the idea for me.

You cannot really compare it to a desktop. For £799 it is a great deal considering what you get. Sure it is not going to be as good as a desktop but as laptops go this one is pretty good. I was surprised at how well it did run games tbh and was expecting it to be a lot worse than it was.

I found the biggest problem with trying to buy a gaming laptop at under £1000 is that you are stuck with the choice of either slower CPU with good graphic or fast CPU with slow graphic...

Paying £200 or more is hard to justify I know...but I can't help but feel if people really want to get decent gaming experience for foreseeable future, they have to go for at least a i7 Quad-core together with a 7970M/675MX...

If this laptop can be another £50-£100 off, then I would truly be tempted...
