Ive had my eye on 1050 laptops and spotted this. Seems to be the best 1050 deal currently although hopefully they will get cheaper.
Use the code CQ117HPAF67 to get 5% off and also of course you can get Quidco etc I'm sure. Other models available but this is the cheapest.
Spec:
Windows 10 Home 64
i5-7300HQ Quad-Core processor
39.6 cm (15.6") diagonal Full-HD (1920 x 1080) display
8GB RAM with 128GB SSD and 1TB storage
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050 (2 GB GDDR5 dedicated)
Bang & Olufsen Speakers
I know you guys love some gaming laptops to discuss!
Anyways, might be of use for some of you. Ive not bought it yet but its seriously tempting. The MSI version is £999 and the upcoming Dell version is likely to be £799 but without the SSD I would expect. Just my thoughts.
Flame proof suit on
Putting aside the 1050 vs 1060 debate the other issue is 2GB of Ram. This really is at the lowest end of recommended specs. SSD is definitely a "nice to have", but doesn't actually affect game performance except loading times of course.

Good deal heat added. However personally if you can afford the extra ~£160 ish it would be beneficial to go for the i7 version with the 1050 ti (4gb vram)

A little faster, not worth the upgrade

Really glad to see these new laptops are arriving. Will probably wait another year before buying in the hope that they drop.

Anyone spotted an i7 7820 or 7700, 16GB with a 1050Ti with a decent build quality like the Asus G series chassis (not the GL chassis)...
Unless you've got G Sync...
