I would just like some advice on buying a new laptop. Basically I'm looking for something that has 64gb of ram, m.2 drive with decent speeds, i7 and any graphics card is fine. An IPS screen would be great.

This laptop would mainly be used for rendering in 3DS max, but also for unreal engine which mainly uses the gfx card.

The Msi gt72s with the desktop 980 has close specs to what I'm looking for , it's just a shame about the design not looking so professional, but I think I can overlook that.

If anyone has any advice on something similar to what I'm looking for that would be fantastic!

17.3" AORUS X7 v6-CF2
FHD IPS G-SYNC
i7 6820HK
16GB DDR4
256GB M.2 PCIe SSD+1TB HDD
8GB GTX 1070
Win10

Much stronger card than the GTX980.

This with £250 left to upgrade the RAM.

There are issues with MSI honouring their advertising at present. Avoid.


Hi MitchellSau and thanks MiSJAH,

Please see the graph below that gives a good visual interpretation of the step up in performance offered by the 10 series GPUs and where the high end 9 series cards sit within the range.

There is one unit of our last generation AORUS X7 DT (with GTX980) in stock with OCUK, discounted by £300 - so if it is this card you particularly want, in a great looking chassis, even for the professional, then maybe its viable solution for you:
