Gaming laptop suggestions

I'm looking to puchase a laptop primarily for gaming but am on a tight budget. Ideally I want to keep it under £700. Currently I'm looking at the VAIO Fit 15 with the following spec;

Processor - Intel i5 3337U 1.8Ghz

GPU - Nvidia GeForce GT 735M 2GB

HDD - 500GB Serial ATA

RAM - 8 GB

I was also gonna take the one year McAfee protection and leave the Adobe Photoshop off so it comes to £702

Does anyone have any suggestions for improving it?

 

Also I recently had to send back a Dell laptop because when I tried playing games on it, I dicovered that steam wouldn't find the dedicated GPU and would only use the integrated. I phoned Dell and they were aware that it was a problem with that model and weren't able to resolve it. Has anyone tried gaming on a VAIO Fit enough to know if I will have similar trouble?

Hi there

 

The only thing I can suggest, considering a tight budget, is the HDD.  I would upgrade that to 750GB or even 1TB.  Bearing in mind, some games are absolutely huge now, in regards to storage space.

 

Cheers

Also it depends what games you will be playing on it and what quality settings you'll be able to run.
