Question

Budget gaming laptop

Mar 2, 2015 2:28AM PST

Anyone had any kind of experience with Medion computers? I'm looking for a gaming laptop with a budget around 1k€..and this Medion Erazer X7830 is looking really really solid for the price you pay. I can get one for 999€ and the specs are:
43.9cm (17.3") full HD LED (1920x1080)
Intel Core i7 4710MQ (4th generation, 2.5 GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 3.5 GHz)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 870M 3GB GDDR5
1TB Hard Drive
64 GB SSD Hard Drive
8 GB DDR3L SD RAM
9-cell Li-ion power battery
Intel ® Wireless-N 7260 with built-in Bluetooth 4.0 function
HD Audio with 2 speakers and 1 subwoofer

what do you guys think? Any other recommendations for a gaming laptop around 1000€?
Thanks in advance

with great budget, for example under 100 dollars, you can not find a machine that was configured as you required.
For good cheap gaming laptops, they may have GT 840M with 2GB ram, and you have to upgrade the SSD by yourself.
