Alright, chaps! Need your advice. I've narrowed my search down to two laptops. Two that I have managed to feel and type on in person, but I just can't make up my mind. I have the money for both: 
First up is the Asus ROG Strix laptop.

Cons: 8GB memory, 120GB SSD, 1TB HDD

Pros: Cheaper, 120hz monitor

I don't know whether it's a Max-Q or not

 

And then it's the Razer Blade 15.3"

Cons: 60hz monitor, more expensive, Max-Q

Pros: 256GB SSD, 2TB HDD, DAT DESIGN THO, 15.6" (I prefer a smaller for transport)

Or, should I just pony up and get a laptop with a 2060 in?

    I've heard pretty bad things about Razer's laptops when it comes to quality.

    Also, I'm pretty sure the GPU in the ROG laptop isn't a Max-Q 1060.

     

    If you got a laptop with a 2060 in it, would you use that 2060 well and would you use it like that a lot?

    That's a very good point, and I think the answer would be no. So, I'll scratch pony upping off all together. 

    There's one positive about there only being 8GB of memory and that's how easy it is to update the Asus. On top of that, the build quality is fantastic, honestly. Pushed down on the keyboard, flexed the screen and it's one sturdy boi. Oh, and upgrading to 16GB is only £89.99 and it's still cheaper. 

    I may just be fanboying over that Razer design lmao

     

    If it was £100 cheaper I could have got it today
