For £700 that is a bargain mate, grab it.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M SLI

Good price for that much graphic grunt.

If it's in good condition and you trust him, jump on it if you're after a gaming laptop. That's bloody good. I searched a fair bit before ordering mine which came in at around £850:

17.3" screen @ 1080p
i7 3610 QM
8GB 1600Mhz RAM
750GB seagate momentus hybrid drive
660M GPU

That was about as cheap as I could find for a new buy. Even the very well known auction site I can't mention on here doesn't have deals as good as that you've described.

Good chance you can buy a beefier PSU and a pair of 680s and slap them in lol. It would however cost more than the machine

Transfer the warranty over to you if possible. That's going to pump out some serious heat after a while, no matter how clean you keep it. Laptops and heat are a bad combo. Fry the GPU's and it'll be an expensive door stop....

Most companies allow you to do it for a fee. Normally around the £100 mark.

The GPUs will have their own heatsinks so it will be the same as any other machine.
