[techead]

I have one of these at the moment

She has served me well, but I am looking at upgrading towards the end of the year. I need to plan ahead a bit, and try and save some money each month to put with the money that I will get when I sell it.

I'm hoping that I will get about R15k when I sell her.

I would like to get another 17" laptop, with a Intel 4th generation chip (Haswell) and the Nvidia 800 series. By the looks of things the GTX 870m will fall into my price range.

I looked online, and there are loads overseas, but very very few available here locally.

Your suggestions would be great.

edit : Eurocom X5 looks great, but no local supplier. Though the X3, got really good reviews on notebookcheck

Can suggest a few 700 series GPU laptops but have not seen any with 800 series, I am happy anyway with my 740m HP envy 17.

Hi techead.

I have connections with Frontosa - The South African Supplier of most of the International brands. I can buy laptops for extremely cheap. You can contact me for enquiries.
