Hi Peeps,

I'm looking at getting a laptop for school and playing rocket league. can I have some thoughts on these two laptops. If you want to suggest one please make sure it is under £1000 but if it is over give me a good reason why.

One has an RX 460 2GB and the other an MX150 2GB

Also I don't want a chunky monkey!!!

ideapad. better gpu and CPU, but missing out on NVME SSD, but who needs NVME when you have an SSD? 

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

Do you have any other requirements like IPS display, long battery life, no gaming look etc?

I'm not that bothered about display, I'm looking for an all round performer.

Don't worry about storage I've got an external ssd that ill keep most my stuff on

I'd say that Omen is a better deal overall compared to the other 2 (if you don't mind battery life and weight much) because the i7-7700HQ inside the Omen beats the U CPUs in those 2 quite significantly in terms of raw performance (4c8t vs 2c4t). You're getting 2 storage as well (SSD+HDD combo). The GTX 1050 perform slightly better than the RX 560 (they're hand in hand, but the 1050 wins by a bit)
