New Laptop

Hi,

I have had my desktop a year now and I am very happy with it but I have been debating getting new laptop for a while now, as my old one is getting a bit slow even more so after using my desktop. The spec below is what I'm considering any thoughts on how to better it?

It will be used for general use and a bit of gaming. I don't expect it to max new games but I would like it to be playable at 1080p. Ideally I don't want to spend much more then the spec below which comes to £939 with VAT. Could go upto about the 1000 mark to round it off.

Thanks in advance.

Just realised I should of put this in Check this spec. If a mod could be kind and move it that would be great.

Yeah I have seen it and very tempted only thing putting me off is the 17" screen not sure if it would be a bit big, I use a 15.4 now which I find a nice size. Worth considering though. Seems very good value for money though. Also it has the Intel wireless card that Isn't suppose to be very good.
