Hi All! So, I've got £1000 to spend and am looking for absolutely the best bang for my buck in terms of a gaming laptop.
It needs to be: Reasonably professional looking (used at work for general office stuff) and have an okay keyboard for typing.
Capable of taking to LAN parties - doesnt have to be pretty, it just needs to run BF4 at 40fps, but obviously the better it plays games the happier I'll be.
It would be nice if it was capable of displaying in 1080p on a couple of monitors but I can live without it
15' screen not mandatory, but preferred over 17'- got to lug the thing too and from work every day.
So I've cobbeled together something just in budget, could somebody please check I'm not being completely special, or in case I've missed an obviously better laptop?
Oh Also I have another 500gig HDD which I'm going to put in it and access to windows 7.
Cost £1022
