Confusion as to what notebook would be right for me.

Hi guys,

It has been a while since I looked at purchasing a new computer, but needs must. I'm just getting back into the scene of pc tech; I currently own a desktop which I use for games, photo editing, word processing, I am also looking into web site building. The issue is that I would like a note book which allows me to do all the above.

Fast gpu, cpu, large memory (maybe 12gig), 17.3" screen, any smaller and I think eye strain would ensue.

I do love my games even though at the tender age of 38 I should know better.

My current setup (desktop) is as follows:

Intel Core i7 950 @4ghz
12 gig mem
1tb hd
Evga gtx 680
24" Samsung Monitor

Any further info needed and I will try to assist.

I have been looking at the MSI brand, fast gpu, cpu, large memory etc.

My budget is about £900, might be able to push a little more.

If you guys can help me out with what would be best for me, that would be great!

Cheers

I haven't done this in a while, but... bump.

I like the look of the MSI GS70 personally and I think it would fulfil all of your criteria though it is possibly slightly (£100-300) over your budget depending on which model you go for. If I needed a laptop right now I think I'd go for a GS60 as I prefer the more compact form factor for carrying it.

Would be interesting to hear from anyone who's had hands on experience of the MSI GS range?
