Heya, wanted to update this thread. In the end I havent gone with the XMG Core 15 due to the unavailability of that laptop. So I went with the HP Omen 15 with basically the same specs ( 4800H & 2060 Refresh, 16 GB RAM ). Its supposed to arrive in next 2 weeks so Im really happy with that. If anyone is interested I can make a new thread with a quick review of that machine when it comes.
