I am a UK Windows 8 developer and also a gamer. I'm looking for:

  • ■ Touch Screen
    ■ Solid Graphics Card
    ■ Ideally SSD (Possibly two in RAID 0) but willing to upgrade it
    ■ I have around £1500
    ■ 15 or 17 inch 1080p screen
    ■ As light and thin as possible
The best option I found so far is the ASUS N550JV which has a Nvidia 750M which is by no means a gaming machine and I'd have to buy an SSD myself.

Is there something better than this? Is there something coming in the pipeline? Should I give up on a touch screen and get an MSI/ASUS ROG/CLEVO gaming machine which have everything except touch?

Yeah, if I were you, i'd give up the touchscreen and pick up a monster laptop. Or try out configuring your own laptop, maybe you can get it cheaper - http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/laptop-computers/

Is there anything on the horizon that I should be considering. I tend to keep my laptops for a few years so I don't want to make a purchase and immediately regret it because something new arrives.
