Gaming laptop dilemma 1000 - 1500?

JUMPURS · 25 Feb 2022 at 18:02

Having a bit of a dilemma about a new gaming laptop. Is there much difference between one at 1000 or one at 1500?? I have a budget of about 1500-1600 really but if i went for 1000 one i could also get an iPad too.

Anyone got any suggestions? I currently have an MBP which is a few years old and want a laptop that has min 16GB of RAM as i want to be able to run a couple of VM's on it. and a new MBP with 16GB is just ridiculous money.

I'm not going to be spending hours and hours on it gaming as i don't have time and have a PS5 but would like to have the option of playing games on it if i want.

Or is there something more generic I could get that's relatively portable but is capable of playing games?

Help me ocuk, you're my only hope.

If you'd read a few threads here you'd have seen that our current standard suggestion is the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro. There's a 20% discount at the moment on Lenovo's web site but you do have to wait a few weeks while it's built in China. I also see OcUK has the Legion 7 16" for £1500.

I have read a few threads and see the machine of choice is a legion. It doesn’t really help answer is there much use spending an extra 600 quid on a machine though?

Decide what level of gaming you want and resoloution then there's a big part of your answer to spend more.
