Page 1 of Looking For a New Laptop

Hi Guys
Am looking for a new laptop for my son for Christmas (and me don't tell him).
He will need it for school work and gaming so powerful and a good graphics card a must.
I can stretch to £800 if I need to.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers David

When you say gaming, what games in particular did you have in mind?

I'm not particularly tech savvie so any help appreciated

Similar spec to what I'm after... best I've seen is the HP Envy model.

i7 2.4GHz Processor
1TB HDD

2Gb dedicated graphics card

Cheers mate will have a look.

Yeah, dedicated graphics card is a major consideration. Also if you can get one with a downgrade option to Windows 7 you might want to!

Graphics card performance comparisons are here:
