IMPORTANT EDIT: To buy this laptop at the frankly amazing price of £899.99, go to lenovo.com/rew…/uk and find the Levovo Y520 and use the code !LENOVOREWARDS! (see the post below for more comments).
A huge thanks to The_Hoff for this information!
I recently posted a deal for the Medion X7847 laptop which did well. However not everyone wants a big, hefty 17" laptop so here's something similar in the smaller & lighter 15.6" form factor...
The cheapest, £999.99 version of the Lenovo Y520 on Lenovo's online store comes with the following spec...
i7-7700HQ CPU
Windows 10
15.6" FHD IPS AntiGlare 1920x1080 screen
8.0GB DDR4 (2400MHz)
128GB SSD + 1TB HDD (5400 rpm)
Nvidia 1060 MaxQ 3GB GDDR5 GPU
1 x USB Type-C port
2.52 kg weight
Backlit keyboard
One year warranty
At a penny shy of a grand, this machine isn't cheap (or even a deal!) but it does tick a lot of the boxes that some gamers look for (i7 not i5, a definite IPS screen, fast RAM, a 1060 GPU, Type C).
It's an extra £100 for the 6GB version of the GPU and an extra £100 for a 256GB SSD (in place of the standard 128GB one) so the base version is where the value lies.
Here's a decent review of the Lenovo Y520 (with the lesser 1050 Ti GPU) which praised it for it's relative quietness and good thermal management...

For those concerned that this laptop comes with the newer, less capable Max Q version of the 1060 GPU, here's a good article on how the old and new versions compare...

Hopefully someone will find this of interest...
Edit: Use the discount code LEN4600 to get this price (thanks to Dokko for this)
