Hi

One of our accounts people is looking for a gaming laptop for her son and has asked my opinion on this:
Clicky

It looks ok to me but I'm not a gamer so...

I'd be grateful if anyone could say it's ok or not and if you'd recommend anything else for similar money.

Thanks
Mark

It is a lot of money for something that won't run games overly great, the processor is OK, but the GFX is a bit pony.

Any reason they 'need' a laptop as there really is no benefit when it comes to gaming, also depends on the games too...

In short, I wouldn't recommend a laptop for gaming, ever, but that is usable for the pony stuff like Fortnite etc, but wouldn't touch it if I wanted to actually achieve the 144hz the screen supports.

For 1k, could probably build a real nice modern box.

Just specced an averagely decent rig that has scope for decent gaming, for £1165.

Hi Paddy

He does have a gaming pc she got him a year or so ago.

He wants a laptop for portability I guess - probably to take round to his mates,

Personally I feel it would be a waste, gaming on that means he'd need a mouse too, and a desk, be better just to drag his PC over Laughing

I don't personally like them, that laptop is OK, but it depends on the games really. It is a lot of money for not a lot of graphics.

Yes but kids and mothers!
He'll end up with one anyway - just trying to make sure they get the best for the cash - even if not the best thing to spend it on.
