I have never owned a computer that was built to run games and i was concerned that buying a laptop meant that i'd have to sacrifice some FPS for the easy mobility, however, I am very happy with the results!

The Price - €1,130.00 (i accidentally paid in euros... Dont ask!)

The specs:

Intel® Core™ i7 quad core processor 7700HQ (2.8GHz, 3.8GHz Turbo)
4GB GTX 1050 Ti
16GB corsair VENGANCE 2400MHz SODIMM DDR4 (1 X 16GB)
1TB SEAGATE FIRECUDA 2.5" SSHD
Supports 4 Active Displays
Full HD IPS 1920 x 1080
SOUND BLASTER™ Cinema 3*

The laptop runs games very well, I've played through Middle Earth: Shadow of War at medium settings and it looked great, played without any FPS issues and generally dealt with it very well, although it did get a bit warm after 4 hours straight gameplay!
I ran a benchmark test for Total War : Shogun 2 on highest settings and got 80fps average (picture below).

The biggest problem is sound quality, I'd suggest buying external speakers if you want to listen to anything much on this computer, the in-built speakers are very bad - No bass and very quiet even at full volume.

All in all, I'm very happy with this laptop and it saves me from buying a console any time soon!

If you've got any questions I'd be happy to answer!
