MSI GT72S 6QE Dominator Pro G Gaming Laptop £1199 @ Microsoft store (£1029.00 after cashback)

FYI
This is a proper gaming machine for a not unreasonable price, but the review model you sight is slightly different.
- It has a faster CPU with more L2 Cache.
- It has 8GB GDDR 5 GPU not 4GB.
- It has 256MB NVMe SSD.

Its also a 980m (mobile version) and not a full 980, 30-40% difference in perf of the two.

I'm not entirely sure why 980m based laptops haven't been put on clearance prices. I bought one last year but I can't help but feel that waiting that bit longer for a 1060 model would have ensured VR gaming. As far as I'm aware there aren't any workarounds for a 980m

i have noticed the prices in the eu on the new and older generation gaming laptops are really high without much decrease in price even over the the black friday period and boxing day sales

so is this not a very good deal then, after a replacement machine. Toying between a fully fledged powerhouse laptop or Hybrid. This seems good price compared to scan, JL etc when googling model, no SSD is a shame but I have one in my current machine anyhow we can swap.

Anyone suggest anything similar in performance for same price.

Also noticed a Quidco Offer for a Lenovo Yoga 900 i7 256gb SSD VERSION, comes out at £903 after cashback and also includes an additonal £50 MS Store Gift Voucher, only issue I have is its Intel 520 Graphics. I am mainly using Photoshop and Lightroom so prefer a dedicated gpu is possible. My current Lenovo Ultrabook is getting slower so need to replace it.

The screen resolution is what sides me with the Lenovo Yoga 900

Price is even lower now, at £1049
