HELLO.
I’ve never posted here before, but I wanted to post this laptop as I was contemplating getting it and I know how straight to the point most of you will be in terms of spec/pricing. :grin:

Argos’ website says it had £250 off.

Thanks in advance!

Might be a good deal for some - graphics card isn't bad although I would personally suggest if you're going to pay 950 move your budget up to 1k-1.1k and you'll get a nice 1060 card with some patience.

Something I done and scored an alienware for £1065

I'm not voting cold, but can someone explain the attraction of gaming on a laptop?

'cos for this sort of price you could buy a top end desktop machine that'd be at least twice as fast for gaming, and at higher resolutions too.

Acer... shudders

Not bad, but for that price you could pick up a 1060 equipped laptop if you're patient.

There have been a few posted here recently (the last 4/5 months) around that price, the lowest being £899 if you include the £100 cashback.

Won't vote cold or hot.

You can get a 1060 laptop for 999 on scan. I wouldn't pay more for a 1050ti. I also prefer the 15 inch models for a bit better portability

Really not sure this is good value. You are paying £200 more than the Omens that appear on here from time to time (I payed £746 for mine earlier in the year) for a ti and a 17inch screen. The ti is definately not worth this sort of price jump - and the 17inch screen? are the prices usually that different between 15 and 17 inch? Never had one so dont know.

I would tend to agree if you are willing to pay this close to a grand then wait till the 1060 lappys drop into this range - there really is a big jump in performance between the 1060 and the 1050(ti)'s

Supposedly a refurb aka dell outlet with a scratch but normally they don’t have a single mark - just like mine and another couple people on HUKD.
