Hi, I need a gaming laptop around £1000. Help

[Scottpedley]

I want a laptop solely to play games on full settings. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Buy a desktop lol look in the laptop section of the shop im sure they will have something to suite your needs

 

[Scottpedley]

I dont have space for a desktop at the minute. I built my last pc but I haven't played games for a long time so I don't really know what I'm looking for or need really. I want something that will play battlefield 4 easily enough.

What about that? I can stretch my budget. What sort of tower could I get for that price? I would need monitor and keyboard and mouse though in that price too.

Thanks

You could get an awesome build it yourself desktop for that price.

 

[Scottpedley]

Could someone spec one for me with monitor and keyboard and mouse please

Is the i7 chip much better than the i5? For future games? I want to order something on the next few weeks

 

[Potty27]

Currently people are saying i5 is ideal for games and i7 makes little difference, as for future games, I don't know

With most games the GPU makes the biggest impact and an i5k wont bottleneck easily.

 

[Scottpedley]

Thanks for all your help.

 

[Potty27]

No problem

If you want more ideas may be worth making a "spec me" type post in the General section, as more will see it there

 

[Scottpedley]

Thanks. I think I'm going to go for a desktop as you said ill get more for my money than a laptop. Ill do a spec me post now. Thinking of spending around £1500
