Thanks so much for the advice. It is so hard to decide, especially when you are paying that amount of money. I guess being able to upgrade parts rather than buying a new laptop every few years is a bonus. What do they clevo chassis actually look like in real life? Are they good quality? I have also read about problems with over-heating. Is this likely to be a problem if I am not gaming as much as a true gamer would be? lol Thanks

Hi all, new here and just looking for a little advice. I have been looking to buy a laptop for a while now and cannot decide. My boyfriend who is a bit of gamer decided to help me look as he built his own pc and came up with a bit of an extreme model, that being a model the same as a clevo p170em with a 680 graphics card, £1407. I myself am not a gamer but I guess I will sometimes use it to play 2 player games with him. I am however a designer, and use large programs all at the same time like Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver. Originally I was looking for a powerful laptop with a sleek design, not too thick or heavy, but now every laptop I compare to the Clevo doesn't even come close, even though I was looking to spend about half of the money. What I need advice on is, is it worth it to get the Clevo? Is there an alternative laptop from Asus or Acer that would handle my graphics programs well and also provide decent gaming ability whilst being somewhat portable. I would like to see the P170 to see how thick and bulky it actually is but cannot. I realise other laptops will not run the games on the highest settings, but that shouldn't be a problem as I won't be doing a lot of gaming anyway. Just need something that will run smoothly and look decent. Many thanks
