Hello Linus Community! i have built my Computer thanks to you all who helped me .

Neither are good models

 

Where are you from? Budget? No preferences on weight and battery life?

[12washere]

i would be plugging my laptop charger everytime everywhere, so i don't worry much about the battery life. and for the Weight, i won't be moving classes so i'm going to be fine with a heavy laptop too.

Budget is 1200-1500$

and the cheapest i can find that offers 144hz ( i'm going to do college stuffs and of course play csgo on my free time )

Are you from US?

[12washere]

Not from the us, Asian

Indonesia to be exact.

at first i wanted to take Gigabyte Aorus 15-SA, but No Warranty, and no Service Center.

so pretty much i need to send my item to singapore

 

[genexis_x]

Which country you're buying from?

[12washere]

also Indonesia.

i want to have easy warranty claim so i don't buy things online otherwise it'll be complicated :((
