Customized Laptop

[MrLawlessGaming]

Hey all!

 

I am looking to get a custom laptop. I am going to order from Eurocom as they have a stellar 10% Student Discount. I have it narrowed down to the SKY MX5 R3. I like it because, it's powerful, but also portable. Having said that, I can't decide on what config to get. I have it narrowed to these; *Note that the price for each is $42 less than what I put because they don't include and HDD*

Price: $2197 before tax, shipping and discount.

Now, the difference is that the first one has 120hz G-Sync. I have 144hz on my desktop and I love it to death for the smoothness and G-Sync is amazing. However, with saying that, I already have an awesome gaming desktop so getting this is like trying to replicate my desktop when I will more often than not be using my desktop to game. 

The second one is just a 60hz panel. Reason for not having G-Sync is because, well, I won't ever go below the refresh rate with a 1070 really. Also, I can use fast sync if I go above the refresh rate.

 

So there we have it. If you could suggest which one to get and list some reasons why that would be much appreciated! Thanks!

that is a clevo p650hs. you need to consider that gtx1070 is a really hot card (120W TDP). do you know hidevolution? they are prema partners and they also use liquid metal

Thanks but I know that it is a Clevo model. I have heard good things about hidevolution. However, I am in Canada, sooo import charges and such and exchange rate when buying US products blows. Eurocom is based in Canada and offer really good exchange rates.
