Hello, me again. After the success of last year after my mate got a laptop using the recommendations some of you gave. He’s extremely happy with it. I now have a couple other friends again who I have sent this way but they want me to basically sort it out for them 😂 so I’m here asking for you help.

Build one. Budget £2000

17inch or biggest screen available. Could do 16 but he’s blind as a bat so bigger is better in this case !
It’s going to be a replacement for his desktop. He is expecting a baby in March so this will be his last present to himself for a while. He doesn’t mind about 4k happy to play at 1440p 1080p but he does want to play in the best graphics possible and 60fps locked min. He’s keen to have a 4080 as he thinks it will last longer and give him the fps boost needed. Helldivers, baldurs gate 3, hopefully GTA 6 when it arrives. Kingdom come 2, elder scrolls 6. He’s sold his ps5 so he will probably want to be able to play wolverine & Spider-Man games at a locked 60fps and at high settings.


Build 2 Budget £700/£800

Now this is more a need a laptop now for work and want to play a couple to my old games. Didn’t say anything about screen size. He would play games like Rome total war 2. He said he’s going to build a nice high end rig next year for gaming. So as long as this runs some of the older games. That should be fine

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks !

If they could post please, it's doesn't end well having a go between.

But there's not a chance you can get a laptop that's able to game anywhere near £800, they'd need more like £1500, laptops are more expensive than desktops for less performance.

I’ll pass that on. It went okay in July or whenever it was last year for my friend who got his laptop :)

Yeah I did mention to him that it’s difficult to find a decent laptop for that sorta price. I said he would probably have to get a pre built one in the Black Friday sales.

Though my other mate has said he’s eyed up the recoil 17. 4080, Intel processor whatever one it comes with. I9 I think ? 32gb of ddr5 (2x16) I think 256gb ssd then 2tb ssd. I think he said it came to just over £2000

Hopefully he will give a post with what his specs might be :) cheers
