Hi guys,

 

I'm looking for the cheapest laptop with the following conditions:

  • GTX 1060
  • i7 8750H
  • 16GB DDR4
  • SSD + HDD expandability
  • High refresh rate display
  • Not ridiculously heavy
  • Decent battery life

Does it exist? The only option I found that was available in my country satisfying these conditions was a Gigabyte Sabre 15 but I'm wondering if there's better out there.

 

Thank you so so much.

 

Kind regards,

Ryan

Oh damn, the Dell Inspiron G7 matches that pretty well. The $1080 option only has 8GB DDR4, but that's easily remedied afterwards. :D

The G7 doesn't have a high refresh rate display. I did however just come across the MSI GP63 which seems to fit the bill pretty well so far...

He replied to my other thread, I just wanted to know if there were any other alternatives I should be considering in the same ball park.

Gigabyte Sabre 15

Seems like the best choice. Based on N850EP6 so it runs hot. Need undervolting, LM/any decent paste and some modding (cut some intake vents)

Desktop specs:
