weaselciuy got a reaction from Ramabahara in Choosing a replacement laptop
I can speak for the Acer Helios 300, as a good machine. I`m focused on several Acer laptop forums & the issues these machines have seem random & more likely user caused than major manufacturing , persistent, issues. I myself still have an old 300 with a 1060, and it works with no issues.
I do believe howerver, 2k+ for a laptop is to overkill though, as performance per $ goes down hard, and desktop path starts to show a 50%+ performance increase or more, if followed.
Since you will fork so much money in this though, buy the latest stuff at least. Don`t throw 2k in obsolete parts.
And avoid HDDs.

weaselciuy got a reaction from Ruo94 in i7, GTX 1050ti vs i5, GTX 1060
I`d take the 1060 3GB version. Thats almost 100% more powerful than that 1050 mobile gpu. Undervolt the 8300 a bit & test thermals, but overall it depends on the games u want to play vs amount of time u will actually 3d model with the CPU (or maybe your app uses the gpu)
but thats just me, i like more GPU power over CPU.
