First off, the MSI in now £599 so this is now only £50 more expensive. For that £50 you get a fast SSD, not an HDD, you get the latest Kaby Lake CPU, not a Skylake one and a DDR5 GPU, not a DDR3 one.
Also you absolutely RUBBISHED that MSI when it was £549! I'm never met someone who is so consistently inconsistent with their buying advice.

He didn't specify what games and Joe90_guy simply made some suggestions on games that would run well.
You think a game being old makes it not worth playing?
Or you just picking fights on the internet because you have nothing better to do?

Oops! Have been admonished by the wife for being beastly to Picard123.
I told her 'If he's going to dish it out, he needs to learn to take it back!' (I'm old school). Apparently this was the wrong thing to say. Apparently I don't know his personal circumstances or what's going on in his life. What if he has problems? What if someone in his life has problems? What if he is so crushed by my onslaught he throws himself under a bus? His would I feel then??
Reluctantly, I have to say she might have a point. So Picard123, if you're reading this, come back and rejoin our happy throng just so I can get wifey off my case!

Looks good, spec wise too, just wish they'd start putting 1050/1060m's in laptops already.

Maybe the 1050 but that is barely out, these machines are all about svelte design and battery life, both of which 1050/1060 will kill and 940MX is created for. Also haven't you noticed what price tag the 1060 laptops carry? I would also say they are simply not going to sell such laptops cheap until they get rid of all the 9xx generation laptops and by the time that happens you are going to pay the brexit price which will raise the prices anyway...

I'd recommend you to extend any warranty!

good spec and voted hot but I'd really like a touchscreen now. Keeping a close eye on the new stuff coming out as it'll mean the 6th gen stuff should be discounted.

I think this is a good deal. There are a lot of folks out there that obviously would love a laptop with a super fast graphics card but will baulk at the prices you have to pay. Even a last generation 960m laptop (a fairly modest card) with a 1080p screen will set you back at least £800! Some of the new Nvidia 1080 laptops cost around £2400 and I can think of lots of things I'd prefer spending that amount of money on.

The MSI that was £549 in the other thread is the better deal. £100 less than this as well.

Will this be able to play games?

Your intelligence gets lower and lower with each thread....either that or you're on "spectrum".
I said that you couldn't call the MSI a "gaming laptop" because it can't play all the games at native resolution. It's like you trying calling your Kia Picanto 1.0L a "rally car" because you can drive it down a mud track at 20mph.
Kaby Lake. ROTFL. Over a 950m? Don't be daft. This is just Dell trying to maximise their profits.
And yes, the MSI at £549 is a better deal than this. And you can get a 250gb SSD for £60-£70.
Your knowledge of computer technology is just non-existent. You were one of those people who use to judged cameras based on mega pixels weren't you? :laughing:

I've played enjoyable games on far worse computers than this one. You won't be able to play several of the most modern games at 1080p with every setting cranked up to max but some of these resource hungry games (eg Thief, No Man's Sky) aren't that great and IMO aren't worth bothering with. This laptop should handle many of the Assassin's Creed games, Alan Wake, all the Half-Life series, Wolfenstein: The New Order, the early Far Cry games, Crysis I & II, Mafia II, Metro:Redux, Portal I & II with ease in 1080p.
Oh, and don't forget Cryostasis, a personal favourite.

Those games are ancient. Half-Life is almost 20 years old for chisakes. What are you going to come up with next? Windows Minesweeper? Do you really think that he was asking about whether it can play games from 10+ years ago? :laughing:
