I'm looking to spend around £400 on a laptop and do some casual gaming on it, don't mind comprising on settings. What's my best bet at the moment? Hunting around on eBay?
Also can get free Microsoft 365 Personal Disc for 1 User - Annual Subscription (M365) using code FREEM365 Simply add both products to your basket and use the discount code below: FREEM365
Hi, Thanks for sharing. Is it possible to install / fit in a hard disk drive, e.g. 2TB 2.5 inch hard disk? Anybody has experience? (unicorn) Best regards, Richard.
That's a bit extreme. It's not cutting edge by any means but it'll be perfectly fine for casual gaming and some more demanding titles if you're willing to compromise on settings.


Is AMD just as good as Intel? I’m lost, can anyone explain the difference?
If you're happy with refurbs, equivalent spec hp omen 16 has been about £650 fairly recently.
Just return the Lenovo 5 with virtually the same spec. Found it really janky on the frames like 30fps to 150 fps just walking and updated everything I could think of. But could be totally different on this
Hadn’t seen that but from a quick look at reviews the USB-C isn’t powerful enough to stop the laptop discharging while under heavy use (gaming). So you still need the power brick if gaming or making it work hard.
Any of these on offer with the code that have numpad buttons and also that don't look ridiculous?

How did you get the discount?
I've had an XPS 9305 with a £300 discount sitting in my basket for a couple of days while I decide whether I want it. It's still got the discount but it's gone up by 99 quid today.
Pretty sure you can just make up any ac.uk address and it will take you to a page with unique codes. Same goes for any other their employee discounts and similar schemes.
Check for previous deals posted to get a rough estimate. I've previously applied Dell advantage student discount on sale items and it does stack so huge savings can be had on something that's already cheap ;) but right now the sale is meh as a lot of items have gone lower in the past
check hotukdeals expired DELL deals, you should find out something about it


I did it’s not uncommon think the called it battery expansion- happens with old or liquid damaged batteries apparently . I probably should have changed it when it started getting as hot as the sun about 4 years ago it was nearly 12 years old,,,, That said ripped battery out it now works fine just plugged into the mains and the track pad just clicked back in not broken so hoping it lasts another 12 years
I’d contact Apple, as it shouldn’t do that no matter how old it is!
Thanks for sharing @James_womble
Go to the HUKD d search and type ‘3060’. You’ll see what has come up in the past. To the best of my recollection Lenovo have had their 3060 Ideapad for around £530 twice before, and usually (look over a few years’ worth of deals) those Lenovo ones repeat 3 or 4 times across the year. In reference to your ‘What Lenovo’ just use the HUKD search for 3060. No idea about the build quality of this model vs other brands, horses for courses I guess depending on use cases etc.
Warzone is so poorly optimised, so the a system like this won't get you the highest frames to start with, couple that with how RAM hungry it is, the 8GB ram will then cause frame drops, making the game very difficult to play. This can be upgraded ofc, but costs money, which may be better invested in a better system to start with.

No more difficult than most laptops, as always use gentle pressure, so you don’t snap the plastic clips.
The point is they are different versions of the 3060.. but ok, no worries. I then briefly explained why and the main reasons (in my opinion) why one would buy one over the other. Figured it would be helpful to someone :)
Can anyone who has this laptop recommend a good sleeve for it?. It looks to be bigger than a standard 15.6" laptop, so don't want to get caught out.
I’ve got no idea what your point is. Someone else stated that this was a good price for a 3060 laptop, and I pointed out that 3060 laptops have been £150 cheaper. I wasn’t saying anything else about any features or models or ranges or build quality or TDP or whatever, I was just pointing out that laptops containing an RTX3060 chip have been much cheaper.
Yes cheaper models because lower powered 3060.. 90w tdp I recall?? Vs the legion's 130w tdp (rough figures). The cheaper models like Ideapad, have no mux switch, so can't unlock that extra power of the 3060 card. I presume the screens are similar based on the specs. Some claim the benchmark difference for various AAA games in real terms, were so small between these models, they recommended to buy the Ideapad actually. Price to performance ratio..value etc. The issue is the legion is heavier due to it's higher power AC Power supply/brick, to give you that extra performance.. so that, plus the questionable display (for both models above) isn't everyone's cuppa tea.. Like most things, it depends on your use :)

Gaming Laptop Reviews
Several critics put the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 at the top of their gaming laptop list citing it as formidable for both its multitasking and gaming capabilities. They also rated its impressive 11-hour battery life and lightweight ultra-thin design. On the downside, it is missing a webcam and the fan can be noisy. For its competitive price, the Zephyrus is certainly up there among the best. Reviewers found the Omen 17 to be a good buy with its powerful specs and great display but its battery life, however, could be better. The MSI GS65 Stealth Thin is a slim and high performing gaming laptop that was rated highly for its appearance. It fits just as easily into a business office as into the home. If there is a minus, it's a tendency to overheat.

Gaming Laptop Features
Depending on your gaming and other computing needs a good gaming laptop is often a better investment than a desktop PC but there are a few aspects to bear in mind. Features to consider are CPU, GPU, display resolution, storage, RAM, keyboard and battery life.
Let's check out the main gaming laptop features you need to look out for.
- Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)
Most games are GPU-dependent and very often this can't be upgraded on a laptop. So, for happy laptop gaming for years to come invest in a one with the best GPU you can afford. Most gaming laptops come with Nvidia GeForce GTX or RTX GPUs. For entry-level gaming, a GTX 1650 is ample while the powerful and expensive RTX 2080 Ti can cope with the most advanced special effects.
- RAM
RAM stands for random access memory, and essentially the more RAM your CPU has the easier its job is. For a gaming laptop that has lots to process, RAM capability should be between 8GB and 16GB. This, however, is a feature that can be upgraded on most gaming laptops.
- Storage
Storage is vital gaming laptops as most games take up a lot of space! For extra storage consider adding an SSD or HDD to your purchase, which can give you an additional 1 TB or more.
- Screen Size and Weight
These are a balance between optimal visuals and portability. The larger the screen size, the greater the gaming enjoyment but larger screens generally come with a heavier weight which sacrifices portability. The best marriage of visuals and portability is a screen size of around 15.6-inches. High-spec gaming laptops weigh between 2.3 and 2.6 kg.
- Display
If you are using your laptop as a freestanding console for gaming, then the quality of the display screen is vital. The best is a 2560 x 1440 pixel display. Avoid touch screens, they're deadly for battery life.
- Speakers
Integral speakers on gaming laptops vary widely in quality and technical specs. For really epic sound, consider adding some external speakers to your accessories shopping list.
- Keyboards
The sturdiness and resistance of keys is an important factor as they get a lot of wear when gaming. For night and day playing, choose a keyboard with RGB backlighting.
- Connectivity
There are two elements of connectivity. You might want to simply connect your gaming laptop to a larger PC screen, separate monitor or TV for better visuals. An HDMI port is the usual way of doing this. For online gaming, reliable and high-speed WiFi connectivity is an essential feature. For the best play, ensure your gaming laptop is certified for 802.11ac Wi-Fi.

The Top Gaming Laptops FAQs
While a high-quality desktop PC with a large screen is always going to be the most efficient and enjoyable choice for gaming, gaming laptops do deliver portability as well as an internet connection on the go.
Gaming laptops are generally more powerful than the average laptop so should have the hardware and software capability to cope with even the most demanding of office or school tasks without slowing down or freezing. If you want a balance between working, gaming, portability and battery life then look for a mid-range gaming laptop refurbished with the latest software.
Gaming laptops are not necessarily good for video editing. They need a lot of GPU power but often have less CPU power so can struggle with editing videos. If you want to video edit as well as play games, you will need a top of the range gaming laptop with high-end CPU for flawless running and powerful GPU for playing.
While a basic laptop doesn't always cut it for gaming purposes, the power of a gaming laptop delivers everything needed for everyday computing. You can draft, write and save documents, listen to music, surf the net and keep in touch.
Gaming laptops are optimised for performance so are going to be right up there when it comes to programming. For example, the Intel® Core™ i7 of the Omen and Zephyrus is capable of handling millions of computations. For easy programming, pick a gaming laptop that not only has excellent processing power but has a 15.6-inch or more display, full HD resolution, an SSD drive and plenty of RAM.

any idea which 8gb ram to get and roughly how much it cost ? thanks
id love to find this
You can get this exact model with a bigger 512gb SSD for £515 - £535 from the dell outlet store with varying discount codes from the outlet home page for at least the last couple of months :p And about 550-580 gets you an 11th gen Intel with the 3050ti! Should really have posted a deal already lol.
...using code DO0GAM14, that is (y)

PC has game pass aswell.
I do deny it. PC parts rarely break. Yet I've already seen refurbished xbox for sale. Games are more and plentiful and much cheaper. Game pass is good compared to Sony pass but steam full of cheap games. If you want to focus on playing games with 4K support and want the convenience of a console, the Xbox Series X should be a great choice. But if you want the ability to upgrade, access to more games, and a multi-purpose system, a PC should be your pick. From a expert.
Someone said the Xbox is better off for gaming. This started from there. Do you deny the series x is good value compared to PC for gaming.
I got elden ring for £16 from Turkey vpn. Were on game pass is the good games
So is game pass.

Can I chip in and say, £200 is enough for a very good external monitor… so if it’s going to be used in one spot the majority of the time I’d go for the worse display and get a gaming monitor. However if it’s genuinely going to be used on the move then always look out for a really good display, don’t scrimp on it.
The 300 nits display is miles better. I'm with the 250/120Hz one and it's dim and very washed out.
thanks for your reply.. is the difference of screen worth the £208 extra in your opinion? kind regards
Oh this is better than the Amazon one.... For the same price you're getting the better 300nit screen here. Agh I'm tempted again!
Not the same display, the 540/630 deal on Lenovo website was with the 250nits 120Hz display.

Heat added. I have this laptop and screen is ok for my needs.
Where would I find this model?
I have the 17 inch one, and it's a beast. Spent 30£ more and bought 8gb ram. Don`t know what the big deal is.
Screen is poopity scoop. 24ms refresh rate (poo) I have this laptop,it's amazing, besides the screen of course :)
They might not know about it, but their eyes will see it, especially when blues and greens look wrong. Also this being a gaming spec'ed laptop it will ruin the experience.


500gb ssd for 1.2k??? And screen is not the best
There were decent Asus laptops with 3080 in them for £1300-1500. I know there's power issues with laptops but even so, this isn't a good price.
Easily, assuming you mean through steamvr / virtual desktop
Could this run games for the quest 2 ?
140W 3070 for anyone wondering

Nope, got a cracking deal on the legion 5 but no voucher to date despite me signing up.
Anyone actually get a voucher?
Lol jokers sent me an email saying welcome to mailing list but no code or any mention of 10% discount
Mum had a Lenovo tablet, bought from Argos. She looked after it very well, but it broke, won't connect to internet. Anyone else had a bad experience with them? She wants to buy another tablet. Low budget, so Lenovo range.
Usually takes a few hours to come through.


The poor colours are there are regardless of if your outside or not, you just dont have any comparison! The facts speak for themselves regarding the palette. Most of all as long as you are happy with it thats all that counts and quite frankly they do not ask very much for these machines so you really do get what you pay for.
I have this laptop with the 3060 and it’s fantastic! Everyone banging on about the screen, unless you’re sitting outside in the sun (which you’re not, this is England) it’s great. I have no complaints about it.
You can get by if you lower the settings, especially if the game supports DLSS. 6GB VRAM would be better though.
Done a google search & found the specs. Appears to be an IPS panel. Surprised it's that bad.
no probs its there now. But all those screens that are 144 were really bad! Its just known a fact in the gaming circles which is why they are on sale now as they did not sell. Really @Brutes should put the model number in the title so people can get the facts and make a comparison with prices elsewhere.

fwiw when i look at the basic specs, and compare it to the hp omen 16 then the omen comes out on top
Amazing design but the hardware isn't very good.
Ooh 5800H. Nice 3050ti. Ugh, no thanks. Just buy last year's i5 Lenovo, it is faster and that is without the power mod bios that give you 14% performance boost. https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-3050-Ti-Laptop-vs-Nvidia-RTX-2060-Mobile/m1559532vsm701609
Just dismantled a 15 r3, Jesus worst laptop I've ever worked on
900 for 8gb ram, a 3050, and FHD screen? Not for me Clive.


Guys do You know how to fix it? Every time my windows10 update- my amd adrenalin stop working and i have to reinstall it, its so annoying!
With FSR starting to mature, I'd wager that they're both good picks.
After some reassurance as it arrives tomorrow I had a discount code for curry’s so got the ryzen 7 5800h and this 6600m for £900 16gb ram as well is that a decent price?
Yeah i tried lots of tutorials from youtube and turn on all performance mode i found :D maybe i dont know how to set amd adrenalin.. for now max is 120 and drops even to 40 fps sometimes.
Have you tried to use it in performance mode in fortnite? Should get you to those 200+ fps. But all the same the screen is 165Hz refresh, so you won't be able to use anything over 165fps

Can you please tell us what the tdp is? Here, it's quick. Thanks.
I have this laptop and I love it, replaced my MBP 13" M1 laptop with it and never looked back. The enter/return key took a little getting used to as its a different shape to normal (more like a shift key). Performance has been excellent and no issues to date. Paid roughly the same price with a student discount offer and got PayPal 0% for 4 months too, not that I needed it. Power supply is big mind, like a Mac Mini :-)
I think HP may have messed up with this. I very much doubt it's 1.8kg. Their specs say it is, as well as some online reviews, but youtube reviews show its 2.6kg. Their 15 and 16 range is around 2.5kg, so I just dont see how this can be lighter?
I need to know the total weight of the laptop with its brick. And if and which lighter bricks would power it enough to use it normally for standard tasks, because 1.82kg for a 17" laptop is amazing, and I would accept its size if portability would be in the range of 2.6 kg including a brick. Would appreciate anyone who could know about it
Anyone know the TDP of this?


I'd say this has been working for about 6 months?
Can’t get it to work on a dualsense controller, despite it having it as a promo on the product page. Poor
Because the offer on the banner is for free next day delivery, not £5 off when you 'click and collect' (or 3-5 day delivery depending on spend). The code is also named for Free Next Day Delivery.
How is it a glitch, if they have banners on products?
Basically a glitch they’ve never fixed…

What would be your reasoning for this? Also, any specific suggestions for good gaming brands?
MSI Katana laptops are not best option when it come to gaming. Always look at other manufactures first before you buy.
You can get it for roughly the same price on CCL computers...
Shame, still a good deal but was an amazing price originally
Has gone up since time of posting sadly

Does anyone know if I could hook up 2 external monitors to this please?
whats the graphic card memory 4gb?
It's a HP, so it'll either be broken on arrival or shortly after. Good price for the spec
Ah didn't see that. Cheers.
This price is from Monday it says in description


Yeah it’s fine at that price for the 3060, the 3070 one with similar TDP is not worth nearly £400 more. The chassis also seems more like a low-end gaming laptop, probably fine if on a desk all the time but wouldn’t pay this much for one.
Most reviews I see of the Katana GF66 (in the 16GB RAM / GTX 3070 configuration) are in foreign language on Youtube. Alpha Endorphin really doesn't like his! (in English): moreleTV reviews this but there's no way to change the language to English (there are some benchmarks): iXBT dot com reviews this, and you can Auto-Translate to English subtitles on Desktop:
Hey Aseel, unfortunately the code doesn't work for me either anymore, although it worked last night. The code was posted a week ago and it seemed like CCL ended this SAVE75 and SPECIAL-100 as they were only week-long promos. MAYDAYVIP still works for me. Thanks for letting me know, I'll edit the post now.
Hey, the code doesn’t work for me. Could you please double check? Thanks
According to the retailer this is the MSI Katana GF66 11UG-087UK MSI qualifies: https://uk.msi.com/Laptop/Katana-GF66-11UX/Specification "15.6" FHD (1920*1080), 144Hz 72%NTSC IPS-Level, close to 100%sRGB" So it at least has a good colourful screen.
Pls stop posting these useless deals. Soon there is going to be RTX3070ti with intel 12k for 1 grand+ which i consider as a great deal! This deal right there is a scam!
This one shouldn't be more than £2K max with the Razer tax, with a discount on top of even that for it to be a relatively good deal
3060 muhahaha; good one.
Save yourself a grand and get a Lenovo 5i pro
It's a good spec laptop if you were paying less than half of this price.
