Gaming Laptop

Craig B

Hi, my friend is on the market for a good 15.6'' or smaller gaming laptop.

His budget is 1,200 and he wants it to buy it soon he also wants it to be from an irish supplier (komplett etc.)

Many Thanks!

What games ?

Craig B

Minecraft, Oblivion, maybe BF3. But hes looking at future proofing aswell

I had a quick glance at pcworld/HN/DID/Powercity/Elara/Argos/dell.ie and I can safely say that I cant recommend you anything that is worth 1200 Euros.

There was a MSI lappy with 570GTX M for €1,279.00 on komplett.ie but the screen size is 17.3 so that one is out.

Craig B

Well ill talk to him and see if hell consider it.

Jarren

Well ask him if he can change his mind about buying from abroad.

You can get a much better value IMHO.

Craig B

He said he likes this is it any good?
