Hey folks,
First-time poster looking for some help from the community. I'm looking to buy a laptop for general use plus light gaming. In terms of gaming, the most common use is going to be a secondary World of Warcraft platform, though it would be nice to be able to put other games on it for mobility - I'm thinking Skyrim and D3 off the top of my head (spot the fantasy fan!).
In my head, I'm looking for a system with at least a Core i5, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD and a dedicated GPU, but I can't quite find anything I really like the look of. My budget is about €800.
I've been looking for weeks and I feel like I'm going a bit insane. I keep coming back to this Gigabyte laptop: http
/tinyurl.com/kbs5g28 and I was hoping to get some feedback on it.
I'm wondering whether the price is reasonable and whether the specifications are suitable for how I would be using it. I would absolutely love if you could either confirm that I'm looking for the right kind of specifications or explain to me why exactly I'm being an idiot...!
It would also be awesome if you could suggest any alternative places to buy a laptop. I live in Ireland and I just can't find anywhere here beyond Currys/PC World and the like. I've used Overclockers before, but they don't have anything within my budget this time around.
Thanks in advance for the help, all.
