Best Overall Laptop - 8750h GXT1060, need suggestions

[dgsddfgdfhgs]

dont need to look too "gaming"

weight is not an issue

screen size 15"-17" (with numpad preferable)

budget HKD10,000 (+/-2000) roughly USD1,300

 

some models in mind, but the reviews are quite confusing, here are the models:

Asus FX504GM

Dell G7 /G5

Acer Helios300

MSI GL63 8RE

New xiaomi gaming laptop

also open to other laptops

Whatever has decent looking cooling with an i7 and at least a 1050ti

I'm not 100% sure going all the way to a 1060 is worth it in a laptop.

budget is "sponsored" and reviews stated most of them will overheat....

Basically every gaming type laptop will overheat, most modern laptops seem poorly built, unlike glorious old thinkpads...

You could look for a Ryzen 5 2500U laptop if you want something that can game, but probably won't overheat...maybe.

Any links of online stores? Any preference on battery life? Do you mind low sRGB display? What's your usage?

1. Not for every model, thermals will also improve with some tweaks

2. Compared to 2-3 years ago, laptops nowadays are built better in general (external build quality), however QC has dropped over time

(language change at top right corner "語言")

this is the source I use as reference, will be travelling to buy buy instead of online shopping.

battery life: dont care, plug in most the time

sRGB display: prefer good colour as some photo edits and designs will be done

for usage... it is actually for office work(way overkill everything I know), cad photoshop etc . but since the budget will be wasted if not used up, so trying to get best out of it.

hp omen is selling a bit too high, the Y530 dont have a gtx1060 option yet, (may consider y720 if it really worth it)

It's within your budget from what I see. Do you really need a 1060?

not really, just a bunch of very similar specs in this price range.

I am also looking at a desktop perspective, as 1060 (or maxq) would be similar to gtx970 i have been using .

this is really a working laptop, not mind getting a 1050(ti) for other better things

then go for the either 2 options above, no thermal and build quality issues (Y530 may have bad heatsink and stock thermal paste though)
