 Replacement Laptop - zippy
My current laptop is 5 years old and whilst not issue free** I do like it, but I think it's time to consider a replacement and I may* be looking to get one come Black Friday.

It was a beast when I got it and it's specs are:

17 inch screen
Aluminium construction (it's a bit heavy)
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6820HK CPU @ 2.70GHz 2.70 GHz
NVIDIA GFORCE GTX 1070
256gb solid state drive
1,000 gb hard drive.
16GB DDR4 RAM

At the time it cost <£1k.

If I do get something new, I want it to be something that "blows this one away"!

I have totally lost touch with the market. What sort of specs should I be looking for?

*Toying with the idea. My guess is something more pressing will come along to claim my laptop cash stash.

**the internal battery holds a charge for about 10 minutes. Sometimes the disks are not recognised. WIFI hardware intermittently reports failure.
