Dilemma

[wisoke]

Hey,

 

I have a dilemma, im looking for a thin & light gaming laptop for roundabouts €2500 or less.

 

I have found the Asus Zephyrus GX501GI-EI016T with gtx 1080 max q, the older model for €2.399,

And the Asus Zephyrus GX531GW-ES027T with rtx 2070 max q, the newest model for €2.499

Here comes the dilemma,

I know the old one is faster but i like the newer model's looks better. What do i choose?

What should i choose, and are there better options?

 

If u look at my prev posts u can see that i asked back in 2015 what the best laptop was for me, i went with the msi gs60 2qe-028NL which has served me well for 3 years every day use 6 hours+. For some reason people hate msi and i dont quite see it. 

 

Razer and gigabyte are no option because for some reason they are not sold in my country (the Netherlands) or ill have to buy em with a quertz keyboard off amazon.de which is not an option.

 

Sorry for the grammar and spelling english is my secondary language and thanks for reading / comments,

Max weight preferred in kg/lbs? No preference on battery life?

 

Any links of online stores?

As you have noticed, 1080 will be faster - appears to be 10%.

 

Personally, performance over looks.

 

More power and lower price seems like a win. They look pretty similar as well!

With 2080MQ/2070MQ/2060/1080MQ:

Clevo P960ED/EF/EN

TongFang GK5CP0Z/CQ7Z

Asus GX531 - weird keyboard placement

Asus GX501GI - weird keyboard placement

AW m15 - heatsink and airflow issues

Acer Triton 500 - CPU cooling not that great

MSI GS75 8SE - OKish build quality, CPU cooling not that great

 

1. Dual channel memory is highly recommended (change single channel to dual channel if needed)

2. I have reviewed all Clevo and TongFang models above, feel free to ask if you have any questions

3. Clevo/TongFang resellers:
