Advice for spec

ABCD

New member
I'm looking for a laptop for playing games like World of Warcraft on highest settings for as cheap as possible, but I don't know what would be a good laptop and spec for it. Can someone help?

I know the second spec is £100 above budget but it will be about 50% more powerful. It will be much better for games. You could possibly drop the cpu on it to save a little money if you want. Anyway, best of luck!
