Budget? Any preference on weight and battery life?

It's really really hard to say no to any older models sporting a 1060. Hell, I got mine on a sale and I'm rockin' a 8750H and a 1060 for $800. Then again, if you're really set on a 20-series GPU, they're not horrible. The 1660/Ti models are supposed to be coming soon so, that's a potential thing now too.

[Imglidinhere]

Mistake on the naming. It's DDR4. Yeah that's a pretty decent deal. Also the performance difference between the 8750H and 9750H are literally non-existent since they throttle to the same point when they throttle for power.  (100mhz higher boosts don't make a processor magically better at the 3GHz+ range. )

Yes. Laptops haven't used DDR3 RAM since Haswell (4000 series i7), and very few select laptop models with the 6th gen series parts

I see now I even asked a guy online he said it was ddr3 and couldnt be upgraded to ddr4 lol

[Imglidinhere]

Well he's an idiot.

 

These parts can't use DDR3. Besides, ask him why the same laptop from Dell's page uses DDR4?

So go 1060?

[Imglidinhere]

I'd like to make a point that yeah, it's a Max-Q 1060, but that's within 10% of a normal 1060 and can EASILY be overclocked to a desktop 1060 simply because these are binned parts. God know how many times @GeneXiS_X said that.

[Imglidinhere]

I rock a 1060. It maxes out pretty much every game I have at 1080p without a hitch and in games that it doesn't max out, it'll do 100 FPS On high.
