Hi all,

Wifey has allowed me to get a new laptop to replace my old one with this years bonus and I am wondering what to get. It has to be a laptop as we have no space for a desktop so its either a laptop or iMac style unit. I have between £1500 and £2000 to spend. I have been thinking about the Dell/Alienware or Samsung offerings and wondered about people's ideas.

Thanks for the info. I have looked at that one but lucky have a bigger budget (I am really in the wifey's good books at the moment!) so want one with a 17.5" screen if not bigger. Works out at about $2200 to $3000 budget.

I really would like to build a PC in a small/thin case but she still thinks of my old gaming rig which was a tadge on the large size and even I had a hard time lifting. I could get lucky as while I was looking today she spotted the iMac and thought it was a good idea.

iMac with the GTX 680MX is a clear winner. Assuming a desktop.

That chip is a serious pixel-pusher, and the CPU is no slouch.

Went over to newegg and managed to find this which is a few hundred dollars cheaper then an equivalent alienware and has more Vram (2GB more to be exact) only con is processor speed which is 2.4GHZ

I have a macbook pro 15"with retina 2.6 Ghz quad core i7, 8 GB, 500 gb SSD and NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 mb, Light and powerful, X-plane 10 runs nicely with decent rendering settings, including HDR 2x SSAA+FXAA, Best lap top I ever had.
