Gaming Laptop Deals & Offers

Any questions, let me know.

Sorely tempted!! ;)

No problem man, you planning to get it yourself?

Why hide the fact? I said no 'obvious' cooling ... subtle difference!! (nerd)

Doesn't mean it has no cooling though! Of course it has cooling or it would overheat by default. Strange point to make.

...one who never sleeps get rewarded (highfive)

Yes it was Scar 2.

Does anyone know any good deals for a gaming laptop with at least a 1060 graphics card?

Not bad

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc2wqX_2woc 80-100 fps on medium settings

Is this laptop easy to upgrade? Are there slots for more RAM/SSD drives? Any idea on the max FPS it can get on Overwatch? It's the game I play the most and would be swayed in purchasing this if I knew what I could get in that. Not fussed for graphics quality

I bought this laptop on ebay sale (-15%) couple weeks ago for £540. I mainly play MMO games and it easily reach 80+ frames on FFXIV, GW2 and World of Warcraft on medium settings. I didn't test it yet but imagine it could run Fortnite, CS, Dota2, League of Legends in 120 frames as they're not demanding on hardware. RX560X is equivalent of gtx 1050 and there are plenty test on the youtube so you can see yourself if it suits your needs. The only con I found so far that is loud while under stress. I've spend some time on discord while playing and microphone doesn't catch any fan or keyboard noise. You won't be able to get that performance for brand new laptop at < £600 price. 1060 is £300 more and 1660 is £500 more.

Sweet

currently at 425° I wonder if it is for the extended thread or for the machine itself.. lol

Just came for the comments. Carry on. (popcorn)

Hmm, 35% faster CPU or 1660Ti which blows the 1060 out of the water. I would rather go for this.

I'm not suggesting things have not improved significantly. I'm just pleasantly surprised that older tech still seems to be able to provide acceptable performance, well past the expected lifespan. As you mention, the pricing isn't good right now. Perhaps due to the change in the market towards smaller mobile devices and less economy of scale in the PC market?

At any point have I said it isn’t? I already said in my previous comment that it’s ridiculous. Doesn’t make your comment any less stupid.

Agree charging $999 for a stand does sound pathetic.

Pathetic.

Key part is surely 'Why would someone who sees the Apple Pro Display as a worthwhile investment think'

What a pointless comparison. Why would someone who sees the Apple Pro Display as a worthwhile investment think ‘hmmm, do I buy a stand for my $5000 Apple Pro Display or do I buy a random $1200 windows laptop that I have absolutely no use or need for? I think £1000 for a stand is ridiculous as well but you’re literally comparing apples to oranges. The people that can afford an Apple Pro Display likely won’t mind splashing £1,000 on a stand. It’s like saying ‘I can’t believe someone would spend £XXX on a fridge when they could get a washing machine for that money’.

If they delivered this quick enough I would! I kinda need something to game one for the next few months of being away. Currently looking. At the Zephyrus M G501 with a full 1060 gpu. Amazon are selling it now with a bag, mouse and headset....

Purchased thank you heat added

This. I have a 1060 ROG Strix laptop from a deal posted on here, and really want to sell it because it gets ridiculously hot.

Thanks! Heat added :)

Check the working temps in comparison with rtx 2060 ...take heat in consideration when buying a laptop..

I think sometimes it does reflect it but it's like buying a car second-hand from a dealer or private seller the private sellers always going to be cheaper but you don't know the history as much of the private seller as you do with the dealer likewise is the same for a PC that has been refurbed

That can happen also leegp. Problem is, it's really a lottery. The price should therefore reflect this.

Look I hear what you saying And it's all good I understand that completely but what you need to understand isThat's not all refurbs have been Returned To the manufacturer Buy a consumer. I once bought a laptop On eBay in Hayest of that sitewide coupon they do every so often. When I realised what I bought That it wasn't going to be any better than the current laptop I had. I was told to refuse delivery. Now in this instance This would have been returned to base And checked over To be sold again and will be classified a refurb. I agree buying from a private seller is A second-hand unit. But when you buy fromA major retailer they have students checks that things go through Just like the manufacturing process And that's Is why it's called a refurb because it's not met those standards

The question to ask yourself is this, "has it been in someone else's hands?" For refurbs, the answer is yes. Someone or the manufacturer, has then checked it's OK, and made any changes to be able to provide a warranty. This should therefore always carry a price which is cheaper than brand new. I have nothing against refurbs as I've bought loads on here and never had a problem.

This is what Google has to say 'There are a number of significant differences between a refurbished item and a used one. A refurbished item is a product that the manufacturer (or sometimes a third party) has restored to new or like-new condition. Refurbished items generally come with a warranty, just like a new product from the same manufacturer.' 'Other types of products that may be sold as "refurbished" include: Items used in field tests, sales displays or demonstrations. Items returned for reasons other than defect, and tested by the manufacturer. Items returned to the manufacturer because the box or item was damaged in shipping.' This clearly is not second-handEspecially when you buy from a major retailer

MX150 with 2gb......gaming? .....i suppose solitaire will be good.

Didn't know you could still buy 1366 x 768 screens, thought they died out 5 years ago.

Specs are more multimedia laptop than gaming one. Screen resolution is pretty poor in either case.

My experience has been a good one with Medion: well built and it has outlasted my Dell, which broke - just outside of warranty. Luck of the draw.

I had a Medion laptop. About 13 months in it literally started burning. The mic cable was worn through at the hinge and shorted out. Called Medion - not interested. They wouldn't even tell me a part number to replace the cable. I wouldn't buy another.

Sure

Yes totally. Just worrrying they have that many as refurbished.

Why? It's ok for the money.

OOS now. Its worrying they sold nearly 50 of these

good and bad experiences in all examples of tech. I bought a secondhand medion erazer about 6 years ago from a seller on Ebay. Used it daily for about 3 years then gave it to my niece who continues to use it to this day (was a reasonable i5 spec from memory - I added a SSD to speed it up when I gave it to her). Still works perfectly (other than a broken USB port which was caused by yanking a device out of it at an angle). Not doubting your issues but just adding a balanced view from my own experiences (highfive)

Isn't this the obe with bad hearing/thermals?

Lol, anyway forgot to say its a 120hz panel vs the 60hz.

Cheers luv

Amd version is £599 and the same price at ebuyer
