A 970m in a Vortex performs worse than a 960m in an Optimus in Battlefield Hardline?! Is that the 4710MQ bottlenecking the Vortex for that particular game then??

That is my bad actually, forgot to put in the graphics settings each game used - will intend to fix this.

EDIT: Added and fixed - Optimus was using medium settings as opposed to the Vortex using Ultra settings ;)

Defiance 15" Battlefield framerate doesn't appear to be consistant with the benchmarks from the other 970m laptops.

What happens to all those laptops you've now built and used?

http://www.ebuyer.com/search?q=pc+specialist They sell them I guess. I've seen a few places stock PC Specialist systems, with ebuyer having an above average selection of their laptops. I suppose (at least some of) the benchmarks will get added to the product pages. Odd that there aren't benches for the Skylake ones they sell, perhaps they're still under way?
