The extra 100 is for a 1060 6gb - and the i5-8300h would be perfectly fine for FM.

And I think it's worth going for the 1060 for an extra 100. 

Is it necessary? Absolutely not. 

 

The i7 is a better processor, and the 1050ti 4gb is perfectly fine for FM. 

 

It's really up to you if you want to spend the extra 100 quid and have a better graphics card

Or pay the 800 you wanted to spend and get a slightly better processor, and a slightly lesser graphics card

Thanks Smurf, 

Don't mean to be a nuisance or cheeky but I don't suppose anyone will be posting the best black Friday deals on laptops this weekend? Would be very handy but obviously time consuming.

They are similar enough - MSI are a good make.

256gb is ok - you could probably add another drive at another stage, or get external storage. 

I don't know - depends on your specs - can you please let us know what your specs are? 

There's a post here that may help 

 

First on the list of decent quality in price ascending order

https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/NX.GP8EK.003-Acer-Aspire-7-A715-71G-57YT_2156569.html

Next on the list - and only difference being storage/weight/battery life

https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/9S7-16J962-2073-MSI-GL62M-7RDX-2073UK_2245212.html

Another one - except the battery life is a lot longer

https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/1RJ98EAABU-HP-OMEN-15-ce001na_2147420.html

And another with the battery life being different

https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/9S7-16J962-1869-MSI-GL62M-7REX-1869UK_2191608.html

And yet another one 
https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/9S7-16J962-1868-MSI-GL62M-7RDX-1868UK_2271328.html

https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/9S7-16J942-079-MSI-GP62-7RD(Leopard)-079UK_2068374.html

https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/NX.GP8EK.006-Acer-Aspire-7-A715-71G-50WU_2177979.html

Of all the above, I suppose more storage and a better battery life would be better, I suppose (by battery life I mean how long the battery lasts when not plugged in) Price varies a lot - so you could go the cheapest one and get a good deal for the same laptop.

They are all exactly the same specs, except storage/battery/weight.

 

This now has a better graphics card
https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/FX503VM-EN184T-ASUS-FX503VM-EN184T_2315679.html

Better processor - slightly lesser graphics card
https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/FX504GD-DM346T-ASUS-FX504GD-DM346T-Gaming-Laptop_2387834.html

 

This has the best specs but it's an extra 100 - which I would personally go for

https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/FX504GM-EN151T-ASUS-FX504GM-EN151T-Gaming-Laptop_2344468.html

 

If it was me - I'd look at this seriously in the 800 range
https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/9S7-16R112-255-MSI-GF63-8RC-255UK_2410406.html

 

There's a lot out there with very similar specs - I guess you need to weigh up if the battery life (are you going to be plugged in most of the time or is it for travel) and if it's for travel would the weight be ok? 

 

Hope that helps. 

 

Thanks Smurf, 

https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/9S7-16R112-255-MSI-GF63-8RC-255UK_2410406.html from the above presume this is the best choice then. 

Is it worth paying the extra £100 for the 1050ti? 

Will be mostly plugged in and for home use.

Hi Smurf, 

Been browsing this and the previous thread for the past year or so due to needing a new laptop for FM 19. No clue on specs etc etc but looking for speed rather than watching 3d. Budget of £800 give or take. 

Thanks in advance, Scott
