My next gaming laptop

[Evansd]

I have a msi gt72 2pe dominator pro which I have been using for the last 2 years. Happy with it but now want an upgrade.

I am looking to spend around the 3.5K Mark what is currently the best at that price at the moment. It is purely for gaming and don’t care about battery.

just to add I would like the idea of 4K but not sure how it performs and what the image is like in none 4K

Many thanks for any advice

Thanks everyone for your thoughts. Very much appreciated.

I could go the extra bit to 4-4.5k if there is a huge difference but I am struggling to tell the differences.

with regards to new kit coming out any ideas on timescales?

Thanks again.

Thanks everyone that’s really helpful although I am still unsure what to get. I will be purchasing as I can claim it through the company. Still just unsure what to get.

That's what £4K will buy you, why settle for less?

No not at all any brand. That looks fantastic what is that?

Still looking sadly. There seems to be a major lack of new stuff. OC have very limited with a 2080. I don’t see any news of anything new on the horizon.
