Wondering if I can get some pointers as to which of the two I should be choosing. Razer seems to be a little more compact and has best screen (at least from what I have gathered so far). Also, it has the best finishing of the laptop appearance. I will be ordering it through HIDevolution (if ordering this) with added thermal solutions, upgraded components and such. Eluktronics seems to be cheaper overall, though I cannot get the same configuration due to it is customized through their own website. Despite that, Eluktronics at least offers thermal solution upgrade too, which I feel is the only thing that I am not comfortable doing myself if I need to upgrade components myself. If I end up upgrading Eluktronics to the same level as Razer's model (with 3rd party components like larger SSD, premium RAM), they appear to cost about the same in the end (Eluktronics still cheaper). Would like to get some input from the community to aid my decision making for this purchase. If you have any other recommendation, I would like to hear about it too. My last laptop purchase was actually shifted to completely different model after hearing from others, so I'm open to suggestion as well. Thanks.

I have checked it out, and I am quite interested. Its almost half price compared to Razer 15 that I was looking to get (granted that Razer 15 has 2080 Max-Q). How much of a difference would 2070MQ vs 2080 MQ make? Also, I have looked around a little more and was reading that Eluktronics laptops are quite a bit louder than Razer. 10db difference from what I am seeing. Is this true? I would prefer laptop to run quieter if possible.

I am primarily purchasing it as a work PC with gaming+mobile capability on side, so I guess battery life improvement seems a little more enticing, but I suppose its not going to be all that much. I did hear about their issues back in the days. Not sure whether I have encountered many complaining about current quality. Is it still a big issue? I am living in Hong Kong at the moment, but will be buying from US (at least if I buy it from HIDevolution.com)

I am currently thinking of buying Razer Blade 15 Mid-2019 edition with i7-9750H and 2080-Max-Q (1080P screen). While just contemplating on whether to buy or not, I came across a news about all of the Razer's lineups being refreshed this year wth Intel's 10th gen CPUs. I would like to get some advice on whether to wait for new laptops or to just buy laptop now. Side Question: I have bought from HIDevolution previously, and I am thinking about doing the same again. Just wondering whether there are any alternatives or recommendations.

MSI GS65 - Custom Vendor Recommendation?
StormEye replied to StormEye's topic in Laptops and Pre-Built Systems
Yes, I understand that. I do not need it to be super ultra powerful. I just need it to be powerful enough and quiet. -
I am quite set on getting MSI GS65 GTX1070 version after doing some research. (But since I am not FULLY set, you can recommend me a different laptop else and reason why it would be better.) Any recommendation on which custom vendor I should be getting it from? I was recommended in the past to go with gentechpc.com, but would like to see if this still holds true. I do not live in US (live in Hong Kong at the moment), but since I have a shipping forwarder, US shops are more than fine. If they happen to have international coverage for warranty, it would be even better, but its not a must.

CPU supplied with not enough voltage
StormEye replied to StormEye's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Thanks for confirmation. -
CPU supplied with not enough voltage
StormEye replied to StormEye's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
So basically, as long as the system seems to be working then thats enough voltage for CPU, right? @SpaceGhostC2C -
I would like to know whether A. the system would crash outright if not enough voltage is supplied to the CPU; or B. the system would start to lose performance (ie drop in fps during game) until it reaches critical point where crash occurs

Gaming/Streaming RIG Build CPU Needed
StormEye replied to Alaa Bashiy's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Is it confirmed that there needs to be motherboard change for refresh? As in 370 motherboards are not compatible? -
I recently upgraded my, which was a pretty much full overhaul. After fresh installation of Windows, an option for transferring license came up. It seems that there no longer is a requirement to call MS, at least for Windows 10.
-
Thank you very much for your input. I guess I would just get it separately if its almost impossible to find a recommendable combo adapter. I already have ASUS BT-400 for bluetooth that has given me very low latency for DS4 usage, so just need to find a good wifi adapter then.
-
Do you actually know any of those products you have linked? Do you actually recommend any of them? I am looking for recommendation of USB adapter that is both wifi and bluetooth capable that has low latency. Products you have linked are either 1. PCI-e cards 2. Wifi only / Bluetooth only Good for you that you've been building computer for 40 years and working for Air Force, but how is that relevant here? As for Newegg matter, it really doesn't matter where the product is listed. It is most likely listed elsewhere. Important thing is being able to identify specific product to buy. Moreover, I can buy from Newegg no problem as I have US bank accounts and have shippers from US that can forward me any package I get from US.
