I live in the UK and I need a laptop on a budget of £700.
I need a laptop and not a desktop because I need a laptop for College. In my spare time I will be using it to learn Unity. Which laptop on a budget of £700 is decent for Unity?
Is the Dell i7559 available in the UK?
Do you want to develop for iOS?
You will need a Mac to do that, if not then I like the Dells. Lenovo you can get slightly better specs for less $$ but I find them less reliable.
No, the model isn’t available in the UK
Well I will start with just developing for PC.
I think this is it …

Oops just realized that that is out of your price range at almost 800 pounds. Since the thing only costs $800, I thought it would be less in pounds
UK laptop prices make me sick
well they sure do suck.
Maybe consider buy desktop components and making one of these fine things… powercord required

Can you even buy a computer for that much money these days? Especially with the punch to the face the British Pound took recently.
I mean, besides a Raspberry Pi or a Chromebook?
1 pound is still worth more than 1 euro or 1 dollar
MSI has good laptops for reasonable prices.

Stupid prices here aren’t because of Brexit or anything. We’ve always had things be far more expensive than in the US
Same in Germany. I saved money actually by actually buying a laptop in New York and flying back. (Plane ticket included) when buying laptop, tablet, and camera.
Only one problem with that is, if anything goes wrong with any of those products, it’s likely going to get real expensive to get repairs/replacements, and you’ll have to send things back overseas to the manufactures in the country of purchase origin. Regardless of if the product is the exact fucking same thing sold all around the world.
I had a similar problem with ScamScumg they wouldn’t repair their faulty product because it was bought from USA, (albeit I got it earlier than its EU release date which was months later) and I’d need to send it back overseas to get a replacement even though the same product had then become available locally …oh that and they wouldn’t send it back out of country after replaced in USA … after already being royally screwed by import duty rats just getting it here in the first time, I didn’t bother couldn’t trust them to not fuck that one up aswel. Could end up paying 100’s more than the shit was worth in the first place.
My friend bought a labtop for 1400 Canadian, but I guess that’s only 1000 USD, and it wasnt even able to use the unity editor without it glitching out and running poorly.
Are you certain it was the fault of the laptop?

Only to people on the island.
Why are prices so wacked out there? Is there high import tariffs or some crap government taxes on non UK based products?
