Hello to everyone,
Like most of here I came with my own headache. Did my own big research and end up on these 4 models.
my budget is 2000 GBP Obviously less better
I was thinking Asus Rog G752vy but he got 6700HQ cpu. and I found few laptops with better cpu so.
Anyway to get out of this confusion I need an advise from the side. So please help me if you can
So the big four is:
1. Alienware 17 R3 (partially customisable)
2. 17.3" Octane II (customisable)

Anyway, any ideas hints anything, will be appreciate.
