Gaming Laptop Deals & Offers

https://www.userbenchmark.com/PCGame/FPS-Estimates-Call-of-Duty--Black-Ops-III/3672/165268.35270.Max.0.0 I dont know why you would wanna play a FPS game on anything other than low but this gpu can handle max, there must be a bottleneck in your system. This cpu is kinda meh so maybe thats the problem or slow ram

Sorry but what are you basing these claims on? i played the new tomb raider recently on the 6gb version of this laptop. struggled to maintain 45 to 50 FPS with settings on medium to high. witcher 3 is an oldish game now. blops 4 has to be medium to run at stable. Same for bfv. Seriously folks don’t listen to this guy. Do your own research before parting with 750 quid. Either wait for abetted deal or pay slightly more for a better laptop.

Actually I personally recommend Clevo based laptops. If something goes wrong really easy to upgrade/repair or replace. Medion unit comes with 128gb ssd which is pretty small. But you can upgrade to 500gb for less than £65 these days. PC Specialist/Scan/Mysn/Origin PC.. and lot of other custom gaming laptop sellers use Clevo systems. Here's review of Mysn version notebookcheck.net/Schenker-Technologies-XMG-Pro-17-Clevo-PA71HS-G-Laptop-Review.284844.0.html PC Specialist GTX 1060 version https://www.notebookcheck.net/PC-Specialist-Defiance-IV-i7-7700HQ-GTX-1060-Full-HD-Laptop-Review.273096.0.html

Mmmmm gonna keep an eye on this one .... bigger screen too :)

Refresh rate and FPS are not the same, a windows desktop will utilise a 120hz screen very well

Totally agree & fair enough

i7 for video editing is better than i5. My aim was to include it for that aswell. Just because its a gaming laptop doesn't mean you only use it for gaming.

Guess you didn’t understand me last time. Nope I can’t be bothered. GTX1050 is ok, not great, plenty of laptops with 6gb gta 1060gtx & an i5 would beat the pants off the model you posted. Also at the same price. why don’t go find yourself some common sense and express this post as it’s not a deal & hence why it’s getting cold votes.

750 for a laptop with i7 and gtx 1050 is perfectly good. Go find me better and cheaper one and return back please.

Nope can’t be bothered. 750 for a laptop with gtx1050 is crap. No surprise this has got cold votes

thats not got a 4K screen.

£1649 on box.co.uk for anyone interested. https://www.box.co.uk/9S7-16L411-027-MSI-GT63-Titan-8RF-027UK_2322957.html#DetailTop

Tough crowd. I just bought an Alienware R5 17" laptop with almost identical specs to this (same processor, memory, hard drives and graphics) in Best Buy when visiting the States. Got it for about £1490 but it didn't have a 4K screen and over here it's £2200 in Currys and John Lewis. This is $2200 in ths States before sales tax so you'd save nothing if you're set on this model. 4K would be nice I'm not much of a gamer but like 17" laptops and really prefer the idea of a laptop for VR. Not voting because I feel like it's around the price it should be. I'd feel happier if it had a thunderbolt 3 at this price for adding a better graphics card way down the line

I used to for LANs! Pain in the ass

But what if they want something portable for gaming? You ignored my points on portability. You ain't lugging a desktop on planes and trains are you. You got quite sidetracked down the desktop road

Ok Updating this review . The Laptop was great for older games and not to demanding games . I Tried playing Doom 3 and Rust on it and the fans were really loud then it started stuttering and juddering it became so bad i couldnt play . the laptop started freezing and rebooting . I spoke to engineer from amazon (how good they are i dont know) who hinted that it was a common problem and it was overheating and maybe i should find 3rd party software to control the fans i told him that wasnt acceptable and he agreed and issued a return ticket. So the laptop is going back. Im dissapointed as i really liked the laptop and the keyboard was the best ive used(on a laptop) . I cant fault amazon as their customer service was quick and polite .

Look on YouTube and type in FX503/FX504 Throttling issues. If you put it into google search also you will see too.

Would you mind directing me to some of these comments? I can't find anything on Google relating to this specific laptop model.

Noted on the Amazon reviews they say its the 3gb as opposed to a 6gb gpu is that a big issue ? They also mentioned "heating" "fan noise" on this.... sounding like the Red Baron was driving it. My daughters current laptop is pretty noisy anyway and thats an integrated GPU. Are they just stating the obvious on amazon or does it have an issue that might relate to the technical theme on this thread. Also see quite a few of you nabbed this for £600 on prime day ..... is the consensus best to wait for Black Friday and Cyber Monday ? Thanks all

17.3"

Damn, this deals over. it really was a great deal! checked amazon too, and both sites have prices that have gone up :( looks like im waiting until black friday or something. boooooooooooooooooooooo

Started flickering after one week and ghosting or beyond ur imagination

bought it, returned it, too much ghosting and weak colors, get x34p instead for £700 coudn't be happier

True my bad. I bought the 1080. Then is a great deal!

I've updated the deal to include specs

Avoid buying from Lenovo direct at all costs. I purchased a laptop the mouse pad was dead on delivery. The build is super cheap and the only advise they give is to fo a full system restore back to manufacture. If I had purchased from currys or pc world I would have demanded a full refund not what you expect when purchasing a purported new item .also when using hdmi the external sound is full of drop out and time lags

ACER swift is actually really good. I might add bigger ssd. However Acer aspire with Ryzen 5 2500u is bit better in multicore benchmarks and graphic card is definitely "much" better than Intel on board graphics. https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/amd-ryzen-mobile-vs-intel-8th-gen-core

I just picked up the Swift 3 for myself, actually. https://www.argos.co.uk/product/8155012 I've only tested LoL on it but it runs that very well even on high settings. That Aspire looks good though for the price. What do you think my machine would be capable of running? I understand the Ryzen chips have much better intergrated gfx.

Have you looked at Acer Aspire 3? Check below and if you decide to buy make sure to add a M. 2 SSD (may cost extra £40-60) and it'll beat i7 7500u and 940mx. https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/acer-aspire-3-15-6-amd-ryzen-5-laptop-1-tb-hdd-black-10180944-pdt.html

Ryzen 5 2500u will beat i7 7500u cpu and 940mx while consuming less power (Ryzen cpu might be slightly slower in single thread works but definitely beat multicore)

The screen burn is strong with this one

can build a nvlink 2080ti for less

I can't talk about the 1070 ver. but I have the 980m ver. thermals are really good for a laptop.

Shame, because it's a decent deal. I'd avoid anything with even slight thermal issues. Shame crap like this gets released.

I've posted this comment before when this very laptop has been posted numerous times... Check out the official EVGA forums and see what the owners say about it... You'll find that it seems to have thermal issues, owners have no way of getting hold of a replacement battery and that EVGA has seemingly phased this model out without a successor so general support stops here too I'd say.

Hi guys. My little brother likes to play the Total War Series. Wondering what kind of money I need to be spending for him to play Rome 2?

I had thought desktop from the perspective of future proofing but now in a dilemma. She uses her current laptop a lot but uses it in the living room. If i got her a desktop it would be located in her bedroom which would mean i would never see her :( not quite ready to have another child not coming out her room :)

Should have 1 stick of 8Gb and an empty slot as that's how my slightly different MSI came with.

Or is this ASUS better? Which would you choose between the 2? https://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/asus-fx503vm-dm042t-core-i5-7300hq-8gb-1tb-128gb-ssd-geforce-gtx-1060-3gb-fx503vm-dm042t/version.asp

The desktop linked below would offer quite similar performance I would imagine. Although the desktop cpu would be better. An 7700hq or 8300h laptop cpu would be more comparable to the cpu in the desktop linked below. www.hotukdeals.com/deals/amd-ryzen-5-2600-240gb-ssd-8gb-ddr4-gtx-1060-6gb-dragon-gaming-pc-673-freshtecsolutions-3073959

128GB SSD is a total pain.

You carry around a 24+ inch screen with you do you?

No but let’s be fair that there is nothing between 15.6 and 17, if you are bothered about the size then I’d suggest buying the more powerful laptop and hooking it up to a better screen 24+

does that have a 17 inch screen?

The 899.99 deal on Currys for the 6GB 1060 and i5 8th gen is better than this tbh

this is maybe one of the worst deals i've seen lately

I knew it would catch on!!!

Literally on Currys website https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/dell-g5-15-6-intel-core-i5-gtx-1060-gaming-laptop-1-tb-hdd-128-gb-ssd-10182908-pdt.html?awc=1599_1537947818_be303bc9460702a90b86fbf4fc2919b2&srcid=369&xtor=AL-1&cmpid=aff~HotUKDeals~Communities%20%26%20UGC~47868&awid=47868

Links? I'm not buying from very if that's the deal you're talking about?

At least look properly, 1060 6GB is available for 100 cheaper.

Anyone know what the procedure is on this laptop to boot the OS from a USB stick?

Here's a couple of 12% code that works for xps and gaming 4$GVSS1XZP4SHG J3DMD0TZR7F?PJ

Hi I’d love a 12% code if you have one!

Doesn't matter... Aslong as it passes checks eg screen fine, powers up ect then going off the price of the laptop in post they atleast give you £200 atleast so won't give you less when trading in to buy new.

Sounds like you are familiar with said laptops. The processor seems very adequate but yes maybe 17" might be a bit big when the screen is so close. Thanks
