    Gaming laptops are not cheap. The Dell XPS is around double that.

    And we can't give you an opinion on the one you've chosen if you don't tell us what it is :D

    Seems to be. Battery life on a gaming laptop is going to be dire though, regardless of who it is from so if it lasts an hour on the battery don't think of that as it being faulty.

    Tell him to 'grow up' and stop playing games ... then you could get him one for 300 quid ;):D :rotfl:
