Going to be working overseas for awhile 24months so looking for a laptop to take with me, budit upto £2200.

Ok Video card as i may preload 3-4 games to take with me.
Look nice as its the only personal thing im likely to have in my room

Look at the 17" Inspirons, the 7000 series. Will tick all your boxes and leave change too.

The specs look a little low on the dell site for the Inspirons unless im missing something

Dell Alienware if you have that much money available.

Dell Alienware if you have that much money available.

Not unless you get a good deal on the outlet, you'd be wasting money on the name rather than the components.

Any views on the MSI laptops?

I've got a GS70 Stealth turning up tomorrow, the reviews seem promising.

Looking at that one, and changing the 1tb to a 2tb myself.

All the 2TB 2.5" drives I've seen seem to be thicker than a standard drive so I'd make sure it'll fit first.

Thanks, will check it out.

This too ticks all your boxes and a lot cheaper!

Does the 3k screen make much of a difference?

 

[wingman44115]

???

Having a 3K resolution on a small screen is silly.

1920x1080 is perfect on my 17inch laptop although even then text can be a little small when browsing unless I zoom Chrome slightly so I wouldn't want to use anything higher than that also it just means you'll have to run games at a non native res to get decent performance which doesn't always look great.

Gigabyte P25W Gamer

Or

Aorus X7-CF1 17.3" but looks good.
