Gaming Laptop

[Grinder]

Hi
I would like to buy a gaming laptop due to pressure from the Boss to free up space in the dinning room.
So its with great regret that I need to send my PC Specialist rig to the great scrap yard in the sky (attick) and replace it with something that takes up much less room.
My price range is - £1000 to £1400 and obviously the lower the better
So I've had a look and dont pretend to be any kind of an expert on laptops and any advice would be welcome.
Thanks .

I'm far from being an expert having only recently asked for advice myself however I would think you would be better off with an AMD CPU, faster RAM with 2 x 8GB instead of 1 x 16GB, an M.2 SSD and drop the Bullguard trial. Also I don't know if you can use an existing Windows license to save money there.
I know nothing about the value of 2 x batteries but I would have thought you could still incorporate that within your budget.
I'll leave it to the experts to comment further.

Thanks
Think there's a new AMD CPU about to be released soon so might be worth waiting a month or two.

Wont be paired with anything more than a 2060 though will it? Unless you mean a desktop CPU that will be in a DTR like the 3900 etc

Will the 4900 HS be included in the specification's list before October ?
Looks very good in comparison tests.

Only PCS can answer that.
