    So I've been looking to buy a laptop as I start university in September and my shortlist comes to:
    https://www.johnlewis.com/hp-omen-1...orce-gtx-1060-15-6-inch-shadow-black/p3262775

    https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/compu...-gb-ssd-10174166-pdt.html?intcmpid=display~RR

    https://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/msi...i-17.3-inch-9s7-17c612-043/version.asp#/specs

    https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/compu...-laptop-1-tb-hdd-128-gb-ssd-10182222-pdt.html

    I'm leaning towards the lenovo but I can't seem to find any reviews for this specific model while the MSI is also good as it has the 8th gen I8 but it has less ram so which should I go for?

    I'd be tempted by the MSI (although 16GB ram would be nice, it's likely easy to upgrade this). The reason being the 17" monitor, as if you're playing games this will be a big bonus.

    However... if you need a portable laptop and will be carrying it around with you, then I would stick with one of the 15" models.

    Sometimes there are really nice deals at the Dell Outlet (http://outlet.euro.dell.com) - I bought my laptop from there quite recently and got a good deal (it's a Dell XPS, nice and portable).
