RTX 2070 MaxQ or 1070 MaxQ Laptop

So I need a decently powerful laptop to edit with Premiere, Photoshop and would like to be able to do some light gaming as well. I currently have been looking at the Zephryus and the M15, but now with the new RTX cards, I'm conflicted. Should I shell out the extra money for the newer GPU or would it be smarter to get a 1070 version and save over 500 dollars?

 

Help!

If you are thinking about future proofing then go with RTX orelse GTX is still there. U will be getting alot of of performance boost also with RTX.. I think u should go with RTX... Buy get a laptop with decent cooling which can handle heat generated by the card....

USA. My budget is flexible 1500-2500. I really want the best bang for my buck, I would like to game on this, but my home PC is capable of the heavy duty gaming. I've seen the 1080 maxQ Zephryus on Amazon for 2000 right now, as well as the MS65 with the 1070 maxQ for 1700. Just not sure if spending 2500+ for RTX is really worth it.

Something thin and light as I will be on sets and need to take it with me, battery life isn't much of a concern as I always will have access to power. 2 hours would be a good point while doing excel and Photoshop.

 

I saw right now the Zephyrus GX501 with a 1080 maxQ for sale for 1600. Literally a 1000 cheaper then the 2070 version. And from my understanding the 1080 is about on par with the 2070?

I ended up pulling the trigger on the GX501 with the 1080 MaxQ. really couldn't beat the 1600 price. If I really want to go RTX in the future, I'll just upgrade my desktop.

Dude rtx 2060 laptopts are both cheaper and stronger than 2070 max-q models NEVER but NEVER buy maq-x models and btw if you want to buy a model with rtx2079-2080 with i7 8750h cpu DONT because i7 8750h bottlenecks them . For that reason I'm gonna buy a laptop with rtx 2060 . If they have a stronger cpu such as i7-9700k go for it . But best deal is rtx 2060 - i7 8750h laptops
