There have been a few laptop deals recently which have gone cold, and there is a perceived lack of activity in the category because of this. Gaming laptops are rarely deals because they are essentially very expensive laptops. So this deal really is for information I guess.
At the moment, Amazon are running a promo where you can get a free XBOX ONE elite controller with this laptop. Coupled with the already decent price for the laptop I think makes this a good deal.
I do believe this laptop may have been posted from a 'catalog' company with a new customer discount, so this would suit people not eligible for that, or unwilling to open new credit facilities.
The elite controller offer runs until early April.
Also, you can spend £100 more to get an i7 7700hq instead of the i5, plus a 256gb SSD instead of the 128gb.

It doesn't come with an Xbox, nor a Xbox.

Better off at JL with the extra years warranty.

As it happens, I don't think this particular laptop comes with the controller. It has the offer at the top of the page, but following the link shows that only the i7 version is eligible. Worth checking if thinking of purchasing!

That said the Omen by HP 15-ax200na Laptop (15.6 inch, Full HD, Intel Core i7-7700HQ, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050, 2 GB GDDR5 Dedicated, Windows 10) - Dark Grey
version is £929 so still a deal perhaps
Depends if people consider a double in ssd size and CPU upgrade to i7 7700HQ (with maybe no 1tb as i can see) worth the extra 100 to 929

Either of them do look pretty good. I'd say the £100 is worth the upgrade.

and the i7-7700 vs the i5 on this one
this is just a price match of the hp site - generally 2-10% codes for hp store as well so cheaper than amazon

Struggling to spot the difference between the ax202na and ax203na models.
I was sorely tempted to buy this from John Lewis this morning...
Seems like a bargain at £719, just concerned about the 2gb VRAM and screen quality... plus the fact I want a 1080 Ti for my desktop :stuck_out_tongue:

2GB RAM is sufficient for laptop gaming at 1080p. Only if i were to go for 4K or use ultra high resolution textures, this would matter :smiley:

Bit pricey, I would need something much cheaper. Probably stick to XBOX
