  1. Hi folks , first thanks for jumping in and reading this post . Now let me give a little backstory for my problem, I have an Asus ROG strix gl502vs that I have bought probably 4.5 years ago, this laptop has been through a lot, and long story short it's physical missing a battery, not all the keys on the keyboard are working, and due to it missing a battery it hard crashes randomly (something about the video driver looping etc , but I'm pretty sure it's because of a spike load and because the power brick can provide it , vid driver crashes). I can still play on it but I can't do something serious on it as it can crash on very important moments and I lose all my progress etc. Now the other half of the story is that I don't have a desk,ie no space for a desk, so im working/gaming from my bed. So I looked at small factor cases and in theory if I can find someone that would build something / find a few products and hacking them together for low profile desk, and then maybe I can have a desktop with keyboard,mouse and monitor, but then I will have to deal with cooling it, as I live in a hot country, it's also very deserty tldr allot of issues with cleaning and cooling, so not an ideal solution. Another solution that I have looked at was , external GPU, and then I scratched that idea immediately because it will draw some extra power to power the port, and my laptop will sometimes crash when I plug in my phone to charge or battery pack or even my cooling surface (can't mmber the name , but the thing with the fans that you connect to the laptop and put it under it ). Another easy solution, pay for a battery and keyboard replacement and fixes (some contacts are missing from the PCB), it won't be cheap , but it's not a long term solution as my laptop is getting old and newer titles are harder to run (mainly because of the weak CPU). Lastly, my real question and a solution that I think might be possible, but couldn't find someone with the exact setup /I have more questions about is using my laptop as at least a monitor to a medium/full Tower PC(so down the line when I move I have a good tower, upgradability etx) that I can shove under my bed , and clean it every month. So can this be done? I think my one of my USB ports is USB 3.1 , so could it be possible with it ? Is a KVM a solution here ? If I connect a KVM where is the processing done( I guess on the same machine where the monitor is so mby it's not a solution here). What about input lag ? Any other thoughts ? Thank you
  2. I want to by the gs63vr stealth 230 pro But I'm afraid that the tax and the shipping fees will get me at 2000 dollars
  3. I know that but ,I can't wait I need it for work,plus is there a huge difference between 6700hq and 7700hq?
  4. Hey Everyone I'm looking for a thin and lightish gaming,work,programming laptop . this laptop must have i7700hq,16gb ram ,preferably 1060/1070,and a nvme ssd (Don't need tb3 support). the bugged i have is somewhere form 1500-1800$ . Edit: The only games that I will play is probably pubg ,bf1,csgo, overwatch.
  5. i already considered to buy the stealth but then i realized that i can buy more for the same price
  6. seems good,hope that i will find someone that will ship it to me in amazon . FFS, it doesn't ship to my country .i fell in love with this laptop
  7. Hey Everyone I'm looking for a thin and lightish gaming,work,programming laptop . this laptop must have thunderbolt 3 support ,i7700hq,16gb ram ,preferably 1060 (something like MSI GS63VR Stealth Pro-230 but with 1tb instead or cheaper,or like MSI GS63 STEALTH PRO-016 but with 1060). the bugged i have is somewhere form 1500-1800$ . Edit: Should I buy the smart-guard 2 year laptop ... Plan ,or it's not so critical ,I just don't have any experience with Amazon and online shopping.Thx in advance. Update: i think i will go with MSI GS63VR Stealth Pro-230,its light and small and has 1060+tb3+nvme ssd,but its only 256 gb,i really hoped that the gigabyte areo will ship to my location but no luck.awh well. And the last update: I think I will open a new discussion,cuz I researched the egpu and tb3 ,and even with a 1080 ,you will get 5-10 fps boost ,I don't think it worth the money yet so I will try to find another laptop with no tb3.
