Looking for laptop recommendations.

Hi LTT forum,

 

I am currently looking at getting a new laptop as I have had a few issues with my current laptop and would like some recommendations (ideally based on experience).

The things that I am looking for are:

i7-8750H/i7-9750H or any CPU that won't hold back the GPU. (Have looked at some Ryzen laptops and seem great but have weak areas such as temps and worse displays due to being cheaper.)

16GB RAM minimum

1TB Minimum storage ideally 1.5TB+

1660Ti or better

120Hz Display or better

4 to 5 Hour battery life

Decent SRGB Coverage is ideal

UK Keyboard layout is a must

Maybe a bit of RGB for good measure

 

I wanted to know about peoples experiences as well as the main issue I have had with my current laptop is heat and throttling with the CPU holding back the GPU even after repasting and undervolting both and so wanted to know what temps people had experienced. Also, I don't care about noise when gaming just that it is not too loud when doing basic work/browser tasks.

 

TIA,

Max

It's a solid computer - a bit loud under heavy load but considering it's thin and doesn't throttle or heat up - it's what you can expect.

 

Alternatively, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme is a solid option if you can live with a 1650

I had heard that it was loud but like I said that doesn't bother me although have heard can get hot but so long as it doesn't throttle and will look into the ThinkPad also do you own a GA502DU?

Any more opinions on the Zephyrus? One thing I know is that even the UK model has the half-height enter which could take a bit of getting used to.
