Hey All,

I am having trouble in picking a gaming laptop, which I have a budget of £1000 - £1200

I have spotted the https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=LT-217-AS&groupid=959&catid=1828 which looks perfect but then I have been looking at the MSI laptops

I have never owned a laptop but have built many gaming desktop machines so the laptop world to me is new!

So the GTX 970M 3GB in the above laptop, will this play games such as BF4 and CSGO with ease? or can you compare it to the R9 290 i currently have which i will be selling.

Also what is the life span on laptops before you have to think about upgrading ? do the components capabilities last as long as desktop not as in warranty as being able to play future games. (I don't mean you can upgrade laptops ... Well with ease anyway)

Reason for gaming laptop to a desktop ... it suits my needs better.

Thanks all.

The gtx 970m is a very capable gpu which should last about around 3 years before you have to start reducing the settings. But at this price you should be able to get a gtx 980m which is a lot more powerful. You can look at barebone laptops as these are the best at the £1000+ mark as they are more maintainable and generally have swappable cpus and gpus
