dell xps are solid laptops, always look at previously sold items to see if its a good deal or not, it should be around 250 odd max


one even sold for £161, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256250080416

I have a dell xps 13 2in1 9310, hardly use it tbh, proper waste of moo-lah haha, but it is so handy if Im away for whatever reason :P

you can get them cheaper on ebay but this is an example. I've got one and I used it as a carry round for many years for on the fly work that needed doing. It worked well, held up well and was pretty nippy. Remember, windows will be more optimized for this. I can vouch for it.

I'd say if the OP has the spare £30, throw in a 1TB ssd.

try and save up a bit more money next time round, ive seen a few desktops on ebay/amazon which are ddr3, 16gb, i7-2600, 500w psu, mouse & keyboard included for about £140-£160, grab a gtx 1050ti or gtx 1650ti and you're set to go for any game 60+ fps.

In fairness, he's probably right.

Those GPU's, though not that new, would still likely be bottlenecked by that CPU. Probably going to need a 4th/5th Gen CPU to prevent that

Bottlenecked if on 1080p yes. Too much work for the CPU, but we're talking about 'budgeting here', and I'm sure 720p 60fps gaming doesn't hurt.
2nd gen i7 is that from like 2006? :banana:

But still, £150 what a steal!
can get them half price on eBay second hand, pretty nifty : ))

I checked the benchmarks. Its capable, not 4k capable but for the right game at the right resolution and processor, itll work.

Hats off to the 1060ti.
