Hi guys,
Just a question, I'm looking for a laptop that will enable me to perform my work with no issue of slowness or waiting for programs to load and also something that will play games like WoW and Diablo 3 reasonably well for Medium-High graphics.
I was looking at the Metabox N150RD (actually the N170RD because the bigger screen for a small price upgrade isn't too bad), but by the time I get what I'm happy with, the cost is around $1600 (Add-on the Booster Pack 1).
I'm having trouble finding a laptop I need for a reasonable price - I seem to always find higher end laptops which will be too excessive, but anything sub-$1200 seems like it's a waste of money. I'm not finding that sweet spot of power vs cost….
Anyone got any ideas for me?
My spec preference is as follows:
17" screen, 16gb (could do fine with 8gb) RAM, GTX 960M graphics (or is 950M ok for simple gaming requirements?), i5/i7
My budget is $1000-$1500 (but the lower the better)
Harddrive space isn't an issue, I have upgrade SSDs ready to go. I already have an operating system as well.

At the top of your budget, something like this would go nicely, and gives you the bigger screen you're after:

A 940M (or the older 750M or 850M) is fine for light gaming at 1080p. You can get away with a dual core ULV processor as well, if you're not going to run anything heavy.
