Very simple, looking for the cheapest possible laptop (within reason) with the following spec:
i3/i5
Nvidia 650M or better (maybe a LITTLE lower if needed. I'd consider 640M minimum so something like a Mobility 5870/7770 or NV560M would be good too)
15" (prefered or 17" if I must) 1920x1080 screen
Everything else is totally unimportant (can upgrade bits if needed).
The nearest I seem to be able to get at the moment is a Samsung 550P5C but it's got a poor/standard screen (1366x768 but for £700ish I guess it's not bad).
Anyone got any suggestions? Considering Samsung tend to try and pitch themselves as "lower end of premium" i'd hope for something from MSI/Asus/etc around the same price with the screen. My ladies pretty much taken possession of mine (GX660R, she DOES game on it so it's not wasted before anyone suggests a cheapy and take mine back
) so after something similar/slightly better.
Just after some make/models to look for.
