Well, there a few sales on at the moment so it seems the ideal time to sell my Lenovo G555, which has been flawless for the last year, and get a more powerful laptop which will do reasonable gaming etc. Prices are £400-£600 and I can get up to an Phenom N950 or Intel i3/i5 with Nvidia 325/425/540M or Ati 5650 and Bluray drive.

I know I can get decent warranties on Acer and Dell esp Acer with the accidental damage cover. Does Asus (N53SV series) have a 2 year warranty in the UK (some sites indicate it does) and is it any good? The MSI (FX600) comes in at the cheapest system but as far as I can see offers no warranty bar the shop one which then puts the price right over the other options.

I really want this to last so would ideally want a 3 year warranty so help appreciated.

Cheers.
 
To update I have been doing some research into sales and reliability today

To give you an idea of worldwide sales here is the Gartner data for this year. Ship this many and no wonder there are pleanty of people posting problems. The MSI does indeed look good but lack of info about reliability and warranty worries me for the UK market.

Reliability charts here from an internet source so could be accurate as supposed to be based on a 30,000 study sample
