Hey All,
I am planning on getting a new gaming laptop and after looking around, the Defiance V seems to be at a good price point for what you get. Looking at other user reviews, apart from the temperature (which seems to have been addressed with a BIOS update), this seems like a pretty good laptop to get.
I generated a spec but wanted to sure I am squeezing out the best value.
RAM - Reading a few posts there doesn't seem to be much difference between 8GB & 16GB, so sticking with the 8GB for now. If anyone disagrees, please let me know!
HD/SSD - I am never 100% sure what I am looking for/at when selecting these. Some advice as to better options would be great.
Obviously if there are some options that are a bit overkill and I could reduce the price down that would be great but more concerned about good gaming performance than saving a few £'s.
