Hi all,

I've been looking at a couple of the Dell 15" 7000 Gaming Laptops

Option 1 - £1000

Core™ i7-7700HQ Quad Core (6MB Cache, up to 3.8 GHz)
16GB Single Channel DDR4 2400MHz
Dual drives with 256GB Solid State Drive + 1TB 5400 rpm Hard Drive
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB
15.6-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) Anti-Glare LED-Backlit Display

Option 2 - £1200

Core™ i7-7700HQ Quad Core (6MB Cache, up to 3.8 GHz)
16GB Single Channel DDR4 2400MHz
512GB PCIe NVMe M.2 Solid State Drive
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB
15.6-inch UHD (3840 x 2160) IPS Anti-Glare LED-Backlit Display

Which one would people go for? Or something else?

Thanks in advance.

Both option is the same except from storage, it depends what you need.

+ display - FHD LED versus UHD IPS. Not too fused about the two storage options but seen some bad reviews on the LED screen, not sure whether the IPS is worth an extra £200?

Screen is ghastly on them. You'll need the UHD panel. I love the look of the laptop but that's classic mistake number 1 - buying something because it looks cool.
