The Dell has the same powerful GPU (HQ not a U series chip), same GPU, but has 8GB RAM and a 1TB HDD with a 8GB SSD on it....but it's £150 cheaper and you can also have a go at haggling with Dell on the live chat (I've had success before)
I mention it because I think losing 1TB of storage and going to 8GB of RAM is worth a £150 saving. The vast majority of people won't need anything close to 16GB RAM - and if you did, it's cheap and easy to upgrade at any point. I have no use for 2TB storage, but others might :smiley:
Just another option....

Great thing is, it's a proper quad core I7, not the usual dual core you find

Very nice spec for the money. Heat.

Not bad. You won't need your heating on over winter either.
probably a good test of the 960m. You should get solid FPS on medium to high, but there are some low FPS areas, even on full PC GPU's.
Heat added, its very much a future proof buy. You could even attach a monitor/TV to it to have a normal PC set up

I just replaced my 3 year old Asus N56VM with a Dell, it was a great laptop and built well.
Don't know if the Dell will cope as well but the specs & price are quite good. The base Inspiron 15-700 is only £749 and only has 8gb DDR3 and no SSD but does have a 4gb 960M. It takes an M.2 SATA and is easy to add. http://www.dell.com/uk/p/inspiron-15-7559-laptop/pd?ref=PD_OC
BTW I have the 4K display Inspiron 15 with the same CPU/GPU and it plays Fallout 4 fine on High settings.
