Bleh... the Scan laptops aren't very sexy. Yes, that's a factor for me. Plus there're only 2 i7s and they're past £800.
Am I mistaken in thinking I need a 3.4GHz+ CPU to handle games like SMG2 and TP nicely? Only reason I'm looking at i7s. I currently have an i5 Ivy Bridge and GT640M that runs everything at about 80% speed, which is horrible enough, but those two games fare around 50%.
I've got a habit of replacing stock thermal paste with some PK-1 or PK-2 so that wouldn't be a problem (cue tricky disassembly...).
The amount of configurations on that PC Specialist page are insane.
