Have you done any prior research, what options have you considered?

Worth posting them and people can critique as appropriate!

It's not for me all I was told is it has to be a laptop for heavy gaming @ 1080p the person wants the 780m gpu in it as it looks to be the fastest currently.

Sticking exactly to that price range your only option will be a Clevo chassis rebrand from the multiple re-sellers out there (can't list them due to competitor rules).

MSI, Asus & Alienware all offer what you are after but not at £1,650.

Example: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=LT-026-OE&groupid=959&catid=1828

The above will end up being around £1,600 in a usable confirguration.

For comparison the MSI GT70: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=LT-096-MS&groupid=959&catid=1828

The MSI is not worth £400 more imo as ultimately the gaming performance on the 60hz screen will be basically identical.

Alienware 17 is even more expensive as you can no longer configure the base model with just a faster GPU, you have to choose the higher up model and upgrade that.... starting at around £2,200...
