Hi,

I've currently got a Macbook Pro Early 2011/15" - It has the high res screen and 500GB HDD, I've upgraded it to 8GB Ram. It's a very nice laptop yet I'm just not feeling the Mac OSX operating system anymore. And since selling my Consoles I'm getting the urge to start gaming again. The MBP is my main workstation, I don't have any other computer etc, which I use.

I need something which is powerful for Gaming, Video Encoding, Photo Editing, Blu-Ray burning, just something powerful to put it into basic perspective.

I've seen this;

MSI GT60 Gaming Laptop 15.6" LED Full HD Intel I7 Gen3 CPU, 12GB DDR3, Dual 750GB HDD, Bluray Writer, NVIDIA GTX 670M 3GB GDDR5 Graphics, Win7 Home Premium 64-Bit - Black [GT60 0NC-012UK].

My budget is up to £1800 at it' maximum, although I would like something around the £1500 mark.

Is this a good laptop for my needs? Would I be able to upgrade to SSD's should I need to later on? Or would I benefit from getting one with SSD's already. I'd like a SSD size of 256gb.

Thanks. :)
 
Alienware 17" R4 or a Vortex 3 (either 15" or 17") would tick all the right boxes. Great pieces of kit...much better value than the MSI. Vortex 3 is a Clevo machine so is easy to upgrade.

Both can be configured to suit your budget between £1500-1800.

The 7970M GPU that can be configured into both of the above is one of the best laptop GPU's around.
