[Atuleon]

Hi,

Please can you review the below quote? We need the best laptop spec possible for gaming and streaming movies for between £900 and £1000. The bigger the screen the better, so we really would like to keep it at 17"+

This costs exactly £1000.00: (but can we configure better for the same money?)

I would get 4gb ram and go for the i7-4710mq instead. I would also upgrade the wireless card, I had issues streaming with the n135.

I would agree with Keynes, the difference between dual and quad core will be marked, but you can add more memory at a later date should you require it.

Shame there is no way to get a better graphics card in that budget?

That graphics card should be fine.
