Laptops help (Maybe the wrong category)

[epic_ziver_D]

I have been having a hard time to find a laptop that I really want. I'm looking for something in the ~1,000$ price range with a i7-8750H, a GPU (1050 is fine), and Touch. I can find laptops with even 1060's without touch (Dell G5/7) or 1050 Ti (Acer Nitro/ Dells) which I will get if I don't find anything else I like, I would like a 2in1 but those only come with 4c U series which isn't something I am interested in.  I really want something that can last at least a few hours but I can do without (I hope 8+, but I can do with less). I want something relatively light (and preferably thin), that is relatively portable. (Also it shouldn't be something with a US only sale, because I'm not US).

I am willing to make some compromises (including in price) but not in CPU or having a 1050+ GPU.

And 8750H and touch screen? You're only having one of them at $1000 (if you can even get the 8750H)

As mentioned there are a few which have either or (idr which ones had touch) but the 8750H comes with even a 1060 at just a bit over 1k on Dell's G7 15 and G3 17,

And I am just wondering if a am missing something because I am willing to pay a bit more to get both but have yet to see options which aren't High-end laptops which start at like 2k.

G7 thermal throttles in extended workloads at stock, losing 10-15% of the 8750H's max score in multiple Cinebench R15 runs. Noise levels are high comparing to laptops, but in the gaming laptop class it's about average. I'd rather not bet with undervolting and repaste results even though it should be fine after all those work.

 

Touch screen is the difficult part. HP XPS15 can have this and CPU with thermal problems not even undervolt and repaste can solve, MSI GS65 nor Gigabyte Aero 15 offers touch screen. Razer Blade... Quality and price are bad. Asus Zephyrus M... maybe the low end model fits your price range? Might not get touch at this spec though
