After buying my gaming desktop from here 6 months ago i have decided to get a a non gaming laptop ,from here as well. Can any one recommend a spec. I think i will need one for intensive use, the laptop will be used a lot but not for photo editing or any thing like that. My budget was 500 pounds but have already gone over that with these specs. Which would you recommend out of these two or maybe another spec that is better or more value for money?
