Ah okay they been refreshed. The one I saw at dion wired was still running the 970M.

 

[Jaquesdp]

2+ years outdated.
And I assume DDR3 not DDR4
And I assume SATA SSD and not M.2

 

[Jaquesdp]

Luckily it was my 30k spend and not yours then

My MSI costs R9k less

i7 6th Gen
16Gb DDR4
Samsung 950 pro
Etc

My gripe here is people buy "branded" stuff, but don't consider the fact that "branded" might be completely overpriced and regret the purchase in the end.

Whats graphics card ?

Could not find a notebook with 980m under 30k only 970 or 965 , alienware i got discount on paid 27k

970 and you won't feel the difference.

 

[Thor]

The bottom line is you paid R27K for a laptop that is about 3 generations behind.

You could have picked up a more powerful Asus dominator or MSI Apache etc

970 and you won't feel the difference.

You will feel the difference, the 980M vastly out performs the 970M.

Yet I still play all the games that on full.

Benchmarks will show the difference very clearly I agree. But real world feel is unlikely atleast.

Real world differences isn't worth the 8k price difference, atleast not for me. Granted I'm not a very big gamer. Except Dota. I like dota

If you play games like Metro you will feel it, very hard. But i'd rather go for MSI as the GPU's now can be replaced.

The i7-4720HQ wiped the floor with most of the 5th gen processors, which 6th gen do you have?

The i7-4720HQ is better at single core tasks, while the i7-6700HQ consumes less power.
