Thanks!!!

Hey man these are some great selections. Thank you so much!

I checked the laptop. It's a very nice laptop. Thank you! Will consider this now.

Here: Asus: https://www.amazon.com/8th-Gen-i7-8750H-processor-FireCuda-GL503GE-ES73/dp/B07BPB158F/ref=sr_1_3?tag=mattmoni-20&ie=UTF8&qid=1538930772&sr=8-3&keywords=asus+strix+hero+edition Dell: https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Computer-Hexa-Core-i7-8750H-Bluetooth/dp/B07FM7YLL3

There are some ways to avoid those taxes according to amazon, so it's all right. And yes, I will buy proper coolers. So, back to thread's question, which would you pick?

I'm from PH. There some legit online stores here, but if I buy here it would take 200-300 USD more. Yea, thanks for that info about 8th gens, heard a thing or two about those.. I'll be buying some laptop coolers if budget permits.

Nothing specific on weight or batteries, just a 15.6 inch laptop. Will be ordering on amazon and according to the site, (on sale I think) G7 and Strix is around 1200-1300 USD. About undervolting, thanks for the info, but without undervolting, the considered laptops doesn't even need it to perform well. Plus, I don't want to void any warranties. While the Helios 300 still had issues after undervolting. Just my two cents though.

Back on topic. I understand what you're saying, but don't generalize us "laptop folks". Do you think buying a PC haven't crossed my mind? Heck, I can get one right now. My mistake is I didn't put that I am travelling from time to time so this is why I considered a laptop (will edit this). Been playing on a PC and console ever since I was kid. It's just that when I entered college, my daily driver changed to a laptop. It all depends on the lifestyle you know? Maybe If I'm like you, maybe who doesn't go out of their caves, I will not be posting this thread. Try bringing a complete set of PC to work everyday for years and show it to me right here then maybe I will consider a PC. Will max out for 2 years? I have a notebook (typing in it right now) which is already 7 years old, it totally invalidates what you said, no? Thanks man! Finally, a sensible answer. Like I said from my reply to him, I forgot to add that I'm constantly travelling, but that doesn't mean someone has to be mean answering.

Hello everyone! Would you mind helping a newb out? After working and saving up for a laptop, I've finally found two good ones within my budget (strict budget), but I'm torn between these two laptops that I'll be using daily. SPECS SUMMARY: ASUS GL503GE 120hz TN (About 99% color accuracy according to reviews) 1050ti 16gb RAM 128gb SSD + 1TB HDD USB-C Dell G7 7588 60hz IPS I7-8750h 1060 MaxQ 16gb RAM 128gb SSD + 1TB HDD Thunderbolt 3 Here's some info: I'll be using this laptop for work and gaming. About 50% work, 50% gaming. I also plan to keep this for at most 3-4 years. For work: I'll be doing lots of MS Office work and some basic image and video editing. For gaming: 20% eSport - Dota 2 (Rank) 20% MMO - World of Warcraft, The Elder Scrolls Online 60% - Other offline games from old to modern titles. Prices are almost identical. Battery is also not a concern since these are gaming laptops and will be plugging it in most of the time. No notable heat problems for these two according to reviews. The question is, which would be better for a good and long term gaming experience? Also, 120hz or 60hz? Note: I'm leaning towards the G7 since it has better chassis and least gaming vibe design (I like minimalist stuff). Concerns: Most of the games I'll be playing are older rpg titles so that means the games will hit more than 60 fps (which would mean the Asus will be better for this), also on the other hand, I don't mind playing at 60 fps, but will most likely suffer from screen tearing/input lag if I'm not mistaken or does this apply to fast paced games only? (I already played on a 120 fps and yes, it is better). So, I'm kinda facing a big dilemma. Another question: VSync On or FPS Limiter? Can someone explain the advantages and disadvantages of both (really newb sorry)? I tried searching for answers online, but still not satisfied. I just want a smooth/good gaming experience, since I've been longing for this (third world problems). P.S. I considered the Helios 300, but it has extreme heating issues that would not be viable for long term usage since I'm also not into undervolting. Also, I'm constantly travelling so I considered getting a laptop and I bring my old laptop to work everyday since I can't bring my old gaming PC to work everyday. ?
