Personally, if you're spending the kind of money you will be to get a 670mx, I'd be wanting a 1920x1080 screen to make it more worthwhile. At that 1366x768 res, it should easily max games out, but it won't really be the same.

You should look at the MSI gaming series instead I think. I feel they're better equiped really as an all round laptop with a higher res screen, better battery, nicer keyboard, better speakers, and better LAN and wifi too - although it depends on price of course.
 
Hi James,

Im not spending any money actually.. Its a mate of mine who is willing to do a straight swap for my desktop.. I will be keeping my 1080p monitor so whilst at home during the wknd then I can connect to that but when away in the week I will just be using the 1366x768 built in screen..
 
I personally wouldn't swap that at all.

Second hand laptop value is very low, whilst desktop parts retain their value well these days.
I'd say it was a very bad deal for you really.
 
Thats what i thought but unfortunately it is the only way I can finance a half decent laptop... Thanks for confirming though James...
