Although the laptop costs slightly more then what I would like to spend, I can't seem to bring myself to downgrade anything!
As long as I can play most games at high settings whilst sitting above 40fps, I think I'll be ok...
Only thing that bothers me is how long can I expect the laptop to do that for?
I know technology moves so fast and it's hard to predict... But do you guys think I could get 2 years gaming out of this? At least?
Also, if there's anything you'd suggest, please feel free to post ammendments below, any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jay
