Previously I also thought I need a 17" laptop to have a comfortable screen size to work with, but I have found out it's better to have a portable laptop for those moments you need to use it away from home, while connecting it to a 22"-24" monitor at home. That's the best of both worlds. There are a lot of light portable laptops out there, but I need one with a gaming-capable graphics card of the newest generation (currently GeForce GTX 850M and GTX 860M, higher numbered 8xx's are still using older generation chipsets) and the ability to hold an SSD + HDD. The price to pay for such a portable laptop is heat and noise when gaming (but I don't do that often), and lack of ODD (but I rarely use it, so an external one will be enough). There is precious little to select from: - Razer Blade 2014 refresh (nice, but way over my budget), - Clevo W230SS (ugly), - MSI GE40 2OC 2014 refresh (it would be my favourite, but still no news about launch date), and - Gigabyte P34G V2 (looks nice, but no official support in Poland and for now not available - even for preorder - in E.U. online stores and the cost of shipping and taxes when importing from the U.S. make it too costly; Gigabyte is also relatively "green" in laptop production, so it's hard to determine what's the quality of their product). So now I'm waiting what will be first available in the E.U. for purchase - either MSI or the Gigabyte and that's what I'm buying.
