What? 170k and no show? Wait, is the shop he bot it frm still standing? Is d manager still alive? Wtf mhen! #smh.
Well, 184k is high to me, wit dt, i'll be getting a better spec on anoda product besides hp, like a core-i7 and mayb a higher gpu in expense of RAM, 6-8gb ram is excellent for gaming, 12gb is a waste IMO. Bought my babygirl in february for 120k frm easyshop.com afta two HPs disappointed me (damn Hp!! angry angry ). I suggest u tke ur time, search well, u'll find a better offer(dats if uv made up ur mind on d hp), it took me 1month, hours of calls locally n internationally, lots of browsing and hours of watching Youtube videos to find a good lappy wit a good price and i rushed it, my lappy is nw 135k on d same easyshop, am glad i took it den. So chill, take ur time, unless u wan regret...

Lool. For u to want to bet, e sure for u be dat. I just dey surprised coz Crysis 3 wasn't very well optimized on pc. And d game na 'hardware-hungry' game. I was of the impression the game wouldn't run smoothly on ultra on any mobile gpu below a gtx 660m....

Lolzz. Yh really its playable on very high. U are very correct about it being badly optimized on Pc, wen i play on my big screen tv, it crashes somtimes, som buttons on the menu dnt wrk wit the keyboard or my controller. Somtimes wen u enter options to change somtins, u'll hav to completely exit d game and on it again cos d bck button on d menu doesnt wrk anytin, nt surprised dou, wat else dyu expect frm sh.itty EA, a company dt won d title of Worst company in the US! Sh.itty CryEngine too!
As for d "hardware-hungry" part, i must confess, dt gpu really surprises me too, really! Cos i knw core-i5 4210U isnt dt strong, so i jst wonder wat makes d gpu tick..
I can still make n upload d video sha wen am free...

Nice!! 2015 games on med/high?? Well maybe all these sites that review laptops/GPUs have unrealistic standards... What games do you play on your computer And how were the performances?

Most sites that review games use the highest obtainable settings. Somebody else may have a laptop with a HD screen while another has the same laptop with 1366*768.

184k seems high for that laptop. Contact me if you're in Lagos, I could try to hook you up with a better deal.

Wo, that my friend just got himself in a fix ni o. If I was there when he carried out the deal, things most likely won't be like this
Trust me, I've been on this laptop issue for the last 7 months. Everything from mall4africa to best buy to buylaptopsinnigeria. I even looked locally. But there were problems.
1) the naira chose this particular time to drop... sad
2) I started to hear all these things about Nigeria online shopping, plus the fact that konga and jumia sell all these well specd laptops at exorbitant prices!!!
3)i prefer a physical shop, so that I can easily use my warranty. I don't want anything where I can't easily get to their main office

Abi?? My friend was just behaving like a learner ni jor, don't mind the guy. It was a guy that worked out of Ife, and he came here to ibadan with his posters. And my guy went to commit a large portion of the money to this guy, and slowly paid him the rest, without proof of laptop!!! It's very disheartening

No hitches at all. I was in lagos den n delivery was supposed to be same day buh i made up my mind late so dey deliverd d next day n i paid on delivery. Der wher new den, mayb dat was wy der wher fast. As for return policy, cnt really tell, buh along d line bfor d delivery of d lappy, i was always chatting wit the marketing manager so we became pals even bfor d lappy came. Even wen d lappy came, d touchpad was partly responsive, i told him n he told me wat to do bout it n all n it wrkd, it was windows prefetch ish. He even invited me to dier office at V.I to com tke som Pc games n i went n met him one on one. Twas a vry cool biz n will do it again wit dem.

This is true, but most noobs don't know. Asus is still pretty much king as far as accessible gaming laptops are concerned. Most people don't even know about MSI sef. *Notice I didn't mention Alienware.

Lol! I still remember some of my friends who used to and who still literally have hard-ons at the sight of an HP Envy dat goes for like 220k wen dere are better gaming brands dat go for half of dat. Smh.
Anyways, ASUS followed by MSI for me. Alienware is now kind of overrated. Still not bad tho

I get kinda confused though. Is HP's envy line even for gaming PCs I feel like they are just high end laptops that have discrete GPUs some of which happen to be for gaming.

To be frank, its not. 90% of d ENVY's i've seen either ve discrete intel HD's or some very weak dedicated AMD gpu's(dat ll ve better luck running 2010 games on Ultra settings) wit like 12-16 gig of ram and touchscreen. Lool! Na 220k be dat o. More like office and multimedia laptops if u ask me..
