To be honest I'd never heard of them before, but a friend of mine in the US recommended them. Apparently, they are used by government offices etc. over there. I paid a little more for it, but am glad I did!

its a Chinese company that bought IBM's pc and laptop business - hence why they are decent, reliable computers

So we've collectively narrowed it down to pcspecialist, lenovo (must admit I'm surprised at that) and MSI (less so with this).
As usual NSC comes up trumps! Cheers all!

Did you get a chance to look on the cyberpower website? These look pretty good for a nice gaming laptop.

Not yet, other (apparently more important) things have dominated my laptop browsing time this evening, will definitely make sure I check them though!
I do find myself wondering how many of the people in this thread use Steam...hmmm.

They look great but a nuisance to get hold of as they're US only. The cyberpower one linked earlier in the thread is going head to head with pcspecialist at the moment.

still think its do-able to get hold of, and looks better than the other behemoths available in comparison

Mananged to find an MSI with great specs, only downside is that it's Windows 8...how much of a pain will this be likely to cause me (when I'm trawling through folders etc.) as a gamer?
I've only ever used it on my girlfriends laptop and it strikes me as distinctly unwieldy.

If anyone wants to add me on steam feel free, account name is deletebeep . And then I will ignore you and just stare silently at the screen. You might get some amusement about the amount of hours clocked on football manager though.

I don't know what that is, I've avoided Windows 8 like the plague thus far...

I could kiss you both. I won't, for fear of the message being misinterpreted, but I could!
I will also add on you on Steam, because...well, why not?
