Thinking this may be the wrong forum now since it is PC Building but can't see what else it would go to so just going to bump

I don't think you could find a better laptop than 'Laptop2' I suggested.

The one your mate found doesn't have an SSD meaning slower boot times which you don't want on a 'gaming' laptop.

The one you listed is fine in terms of spec however the SSHD (1TB HDD) has put me right off, you'll be replacing that in a year or 2. They're shit mate.
