As per title i'm thinking of getting a new laptop.
Specs i'm currently looking at are:
Intel® Core™ i7-2630QM processor 2.00 GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 2.90 GHz
17.3" WLED (1600x900) SCreen
1GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 550M Graphics Card
4096MB (2x2GB) 1333MHz DDR3 Dual Channel
DVD+/-RW
500GB (7,200rpm) SATA HDD
6-cell 56Whr Lithium Ion battery
Backlit UK Qwerty Keyboard
This is a Dell XPS system, priced at ~£680 (maybe less if i can use my sisters student discount)
Main questions are:
Are these specs reasonable for the price?
Would you recommend any changes?
Are there any other systems available with similar specs in this price range?
What would this be like for mid-range gaming?
Is upgrading the graphics to a 3GB GT 555M for £80 worth the extra cash?
Thanks
