Sorry long reply, university brahabah.
I am going work placement in italy for a year, So I need to rid this desktop and get laptop, plus my 4th year of uni be in student accommodation so again easier with laptop.
The uses of it will be a lot of general stuff but i play a very power hungry mmorpg game a lot and it needs to be able to run that.
My PC can run it perfectly now:
AMD Phenom 2 Quad 3.2
ATI 5770 1gb
Memory not much an issue its very low on that. So I need a good laptop thats more powerful than them specs or equal.
Which shouldnt be too difficult I dont think, I've seen some laptops with ati 5870's and Nvidia 460s which are quite good, all come with i7 quads which im sure is just as good, im not experienced in the whole laptop area.
Shame about the threshold though, good job I asked before getting sucked in by some dell marketeer lol

The main differene not shown here between m17x and 17x is m17x supports 3d, so has less build options. Where as 17x has a lot of build options. But starts at 1.5k and it wasnt even good on initial start build imo.
The last one is pretty serious with its 6cores and 1.5gb gfx, (i could get sli option but i think that be to much)
Any opinions i'd appreciate greatly. I'm not even buying until 1st May lol maybe price drop a few pence by then
