    Going to buy a new laptop

    So im going to buy a new laptop. Its gonna be primarily for school and for a little gaming on the side when I can't get to my desktop.

    I don't want to spend much more then €800.

    I found this one and it seems quite good.

    Only concerns I have are about the hard drive(only 5400rpm) and the video card.

    I would love to be able to play most games on medium and preferably WoW on ultra.
    Does any1 have any experience with this laptop or knows a better fit for me?

    Would love your opinions on this because you guys probably know more about pcs then I do

    Regards,
    Mark

    I would not look at that for light gaming. The 5400 ROM drive won't be much of a problem, just slower boot and loading times, it's quieter though, so people sometimes prefer them for laptops.

    The GPU however, is an 840M. It's not a gaming GPU at all. You may get by on some games at low-mid settings, but it will likely not be very enjoyable.

    Yea hoped the GPU wasnt as bad as I thought. I think I will continue my quest xD

    Hard to find a not so expensive gaming laptop :/

    I mean, it would probably even play BF4 with like 30 fps pretty stable, so it would play pretty much any game pre 2014 on at least low, and most games from 2014 on low. If you want to play mmos with it, it should be adequate. If you want good graphics and higher fps though, spend more money.

    Thanks! Which "brand" do you think has the best price/quality ratio? I kinda like the MSI ones I checked up so far. I really dont want to pay for a name.

    Update:

    Looked for a better laptop but I ran into a problem. I found pretty much the same laptop on multiple sites ( amazon.com/amazon.de and some Dutch sites.) All have slightly different specs and prices.

    Here are some examples(translate them with google translater)

    http://www.amazon.de/MSI-0016GF-SKU2...s=msi+GE60-2pc

    http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/40111...specificaties/

    http://www.amazon.com/MSI-GE60-APACH...s=msi+GE60-2pc

    I have no real Idea of where to buy it and if there are a thousand other versions of it out there :/
