WOW !

Heat added

I don't know much about gaming laptops but looking for one for my son......any expert opinions on this deal? I've looked at deals with an i7 processor so is the performance of the the i5 much worse or not? Any help appreciated.

What graphics card is this??

looks good

The item on currys website is using the i5 6200u. This one uses the i5 5200u

I still voted hot, i'm in the market myself but have narrowed down to acer vn7 592 or dell 7559.

It looks a great buy as long as you don't expect to run games at the native resolution. It would even stifle at 1080p with new games at that resolution

Looks like its this model

Only let down by the slow "U" cpu. It's a weird component combination.

This has good advice and prices

There's a link in the PC Advisor article with best gaming laptops but this app won't let me post it

The machine in this post is no3 on that list :-)

This is the typical price you would be paying for this laptop. Would you pay more for the laptop? This has a 5200U and a 950M. It would be a deal if it was around 500.

​agree.. I think the U series is dual core. overall good spec but the cpu is a serious let down for the purpose

http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/notebooks/optimusVII-15/ would rather go for this

Would 4gb memory be enough for that?

Is this Toshiba laptop will be any good for office and home use for development work?

I'd go for 8 minimum if you want it to playing games and what not

What do you think of this for value with the 16gb Kingston memory, I prefer 17 inch laptops http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/notebooks/optimusVII-17/

4k screen that small will be useless for 4k gaming. Most games UI doesn't scale well at all over around 1440p so even with squinting you're passing the limits of human vision at normal distance.

The games themselves will look spectacular though.

3.03% cashback through TCB too :smiley:

Seems pretty decent for the price

950m for 4k? lol

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i5-5200U+%40+2.20GHz

My god they put this 5200U processor into any laptop, somebody has been reading on henry ford at intel and just pushes this thing so hard everywhere. Wish the -H processors were more popular.

I am not sure if this is a cheap deal, but the graphics card does have some kick

It's not a bad price but while this will handle some games well, for purposes of modern gaming I would rate this more a multimedia laptop. I definitely wouldn't want to see it handle any games in 4k as I don't believe that would be a smooth experience outside more basic games.

The CPU is actually quite weak and it's a low voltage processor designed towards battery life even by laptop standards as well as GPU which sits at lower mid-range level. While it packs plenty of RAM, it will be bottlenecked in other areas which cannot be upgraded. For a more future proofing solution I'd look for something with a better CPU and GPU options, PC Specialist do a great value 15" inch model with Skylake and 960M for not that much more.

How will you play games in 4k with a gtx950?

better bang for buck at PC specialist.

4k gaming maybe at 10fps

I need a laptop to run Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. Large image files etc and multitasking. Would this cope really well?

Most of the negatives centre around bottlenecking for gaming etc. But would this be ideal for me? Just want something speedy.

My only worry is that it is only an i5 processor, when I have found other laptops with an i7 and 8gb Ram... like this one..

Is this Toshiba worth the extra?!!

Best deal esp. If you can get the £100 cashback.

Toshiba + 4K + Gaming, that is a sentence that will never ever happen in reality.

This has Alienware 13 as 2nd. Up to you mate.

I always bought Toshiba laptops from around 1995 to 2007. They were the best apart from IBM. Since then I have had two or three that were absolutely garbage. Same with tv's unfortunately.

Even if the specs are good, I suspect the build quality and longevity will be awful, so I would avoid it personally. Maybe they have improved, but I doubt it.

You ideally want an HQ processor, U processors are not very good....

I am not sure about it is a gaming laptop.

Is i5 U version really sufficient for gaming today? Which games do they meant?

A i7 HQ version are more suitable.

If you really need 4k, try the one below for £100 more with 15.6 4k screen, i7-4710HQ, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSHD, GeForce GTX860M 4GB GDDR5.
Your text here

So an AMD quad core would be better than an intel i7 u processor?

heat for 4gb of vram!

Not much 4K movies out there so cold from me it's a bit ahead of its time

Which other laptops have ac wifi and great sound for movies and songs

Gaming laptop: i5 processor. ok

Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects and Photoshop? good for any of that sort of stuff?

Thanks. ordered one but the 12GB RAM version in £599.99.

How can they possibly call a U processor and a 950m, a gaming machine?? Just ridiculous.

The harmon kardon sound great

Hi can you give me the link please. I can't seem to find it

Probably half of it spent on a desktop pc.

Thanks. ​I have noticed it earlier but It was to late, I have already placed an order on ebay. I have sent a messsage to seller let see if he will able to give me any refund on price match.

It may do the job but it's not ideally suited. Neither are very powerful comparatively speaking.

The i5 and i7 are both "U" models = Ultra low voltage = slowed right down on purpose in order to use less electricity. It may say "i7" but it only has 2 cores/4 threads running at 2GHz - not what you might expect from an i7! Software like Photoshop is multi-threaded and would be able to take advantage of more cores to speed it up. IMO the best bang for the buck for you is probably an AMD A10 APU running 4 cores (the "FX"-branded ones are fastest and have better graphics), or if you do get Intel then avoid the low power stuff like these.

What about this for £789.99 seems good to me

Dell Inspiron 15 7559 Laptop 3.5ghz 8GB,1TB, 4K UHD,4GB GTX 960M, Win 10

15.6 inch 4K Ultra HD 3840 x 2160,4 GB DDR5 GeForce GTX
£789.99

I am really tempted think it is £850 on Dell and a long wait if I could find a PayPal or ebay code it would push me into it.

£749 from Dell direct if you don't mind 1080p screen, no idea if there are any codes floating around for Dell at the moment.

it's for a Christmas present so worried about the manufacturing time.

​true, but it does say, quote " It’s let down by a reflective screen and lousy battery life. Despite underwhelming benchmark results it should be speedy enough for general duties." which suggests that it will be poor for games

Do not buy a toshiba laptop you will regret it and they have none existent customer service and are the least helpful people on the planet

Given my budget I am really tempted to go for this however I think there is some error in the listing as there is no such specification combination as per- Toshiba website All MPN - PSPTSE are supposed to have nVidia GeForce 930 with 2GB.
Either the MPN is wrong or GeForce 950 4GB is wrong, both cannot be true.

This is not going to game at 4k, a 950m is just not strong enough you would have to play games at 1080p and even then I think you would struggle with most games with good graphics

​That is a PSPTUE.
None of the PSPTSE have GTX 950

950m and 4k? Good luck.

I agree, but they are selling it as a gaming laptop, which i guess it can be but either you'll be playing at low fps at 4k or it'll look blurry at anything lower than native resolution.

Isn't this a rather better deal as a gaming laptop? http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/hp-pavilion-15-ak011na-gaming-laptop-679-15-using-15-discount-code-hp-website-2337855

Price has gone up to £749

I've gone for the slightly cheaper option with 12GB RAM for £589 on their website. Just received it yesterday and I'm well happy with it.
