TangerineArmy Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Hi, how will this cope with FM17? It is 300 but can get another 20 off it? http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/asus-x555la-full-hd-15-6-laptop-black-10135223-pdt.html I need to get 2 laptops, one for my partner to work on and one for kids to do homework and maybe play some older games like Civilization, age of empires etc. On one of them I want to play FM17. Only reason for wanting seperate one for kids is so they don't fill our main one with viruses. Do you reckon this is a false economy and better to buy one higher spec laptop and just keep likes of avast and malware bytes up to date? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wing Wizard Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Morning all, So, what do we think are the best Black Friday deals? My budget is between £600-£750 Previously I had been interested in: http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/9S7-16J612-408-MSI-GL62-6QD-408UK_1955707.html But this is the same price as when it was listed by Welshace a couple of weeks ago on this forum, so I was wondering if anyone's spotted some genuine Black Friday bargains! Cheers Wing Wizard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martplfc1 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Disappointingly none of the MSIs have been reduced it seems. Probably wait until after Christmas for me now, see if the sales yield anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TangerineArmy Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 @Welshace, how does this acre compare to the Msi very deal you just posted: http://www.ebuyer.com/757793-acer-aspire-f-15-laptop-nx-gd6ek-009 it is i5-7200, 8gb Ram, SSD, and dedicated graphics (Gtx 950). It is 600 but can get 0 finance through PayPal so tempting. It is an acer though and I've seen on some forums people slate their build quality. Which do you reckon is better?

I was also looking at the MSI with similar specs on save on laptops which had been reduced to £699 but as I can just about afford the extra £136 I opted for the dell as the build quality seemed a lot better.
