Sandy Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Hi Guys, I'm buying a laptop asap, I've been looking at various models, however unable to select one, it has to be an intel core i7 processor and have a 17" screen too, i want it to be future proof as possible, fantastic if it has a bluray drive also. Which ones would you recommend? anywhere between ?750-?1100 Thank you, any help is much appreciated! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnporter29 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 How about this one? (Has WIndows 8 though, not sure if your against that.) http://www.ebuyer.com/452699-samsung-550p7c-laptop-np550p7c-s05uk Edit: Corrected link, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted July 21, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 21, 2013 What are you going to do with it? if you need an i7, I'm guessing you'd be doing autocad or something. Lenovo Thinkpads are solid beasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Overlord Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 For that amount, maybe a second hand eurocom panther might suit you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like autocad, a bit of gaming really, nothing too much, want it to last ages though, do the thinkpads come in 17"? I can't seem to find any. For that amount, maybe a second hand eurocom panther might suit you. what is that? can't seem to find any on ebay, not really sure about second hand though as need it to be future proof so not too old. How about this one?

I can't seem to find any. An i5 can last as long as a i7. If you are just gaming and internet browsing, you don't need a i7, you can save that money and go for a more powerful GPU. And if you need a large screen, you can always add on an external monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
