    Replacement mid range gaming laptop

    Hi All,
    Costco have just said my son's 18 month old Asus ROG laptop is beyond economical repair so they're giving me a complete refund (which is nice of them). I've got £899 to spend on a new one. Used for:

    School work
    Gaming (mostly TF/Fortnite type stuff)
    Coding (he's doing an Unreal programming course as part of his Duke Of Edinburgh)

    I've found this on the Costco website which looks reasonable:

    https://www.costco.co.uk/Computers/L...02XUK/p/353351

    Seems reasonable for the price. Anyone know of anything better for a similar price?

    Thanks...

    That looks decent for the money IMHO. Try and check if the RAM is dual channel.

    I've bought a Legion 5 (although couldn't get the AMD model at the time).

    Have been very happy with it!

    Is that price inclusive of VAT? In either case that's amazing value!
    I'm waiting for more QHD monitor options before I get a replacement.
