Hallo there folks! I torn between these two gaming laptops.
- Don´t mind the prices! I can get both on sale to around the same price :)

The 15,6 seems to be the best choice of what I have heard, apperently  it runs cooler and more silent, aswell as it having 500 nits where the 17 inch only has 300. The 17 got a numpad and better webcam placement, and numpad. I was kinda thinking of going 17, but due to rumors of heat issue with that model and the fact that 15,6 got 500 nits, I may go 15,6 instead. Any suggestions? - I will be using the laptop for studying aswell. 

I question myself if a 17 inch is worth giveing up 500 nits performance, along with rumors having it that it runs cooler and alot more silent on the 15,6 inch. Even tho an 17 inch seem lureing. 

Hope you folks can help me out :D

17inch for a laptop imo is huge. 

 

also, do you really need 32gb ram? what on earth are you trying to do?

It was on sale and cheaper than the 16GB version, simple as that. Else I would have picked the 16GB ram version probably if it wasn´t  

Don´t focus on the priceing and such here, only by the difference between the 17 inch and 15,6 version.

I get your point, however, let´s not focus on the priceing and such here, only by the difference between the 17,3 inch and 15,6 version.

 

I just threw the links to show the specs really, I can get both around the same price. - So let´s focus on the difference between the two versions of the laptop  17 and 15 inch.  

Thanks for the suggestion tho.

I know someone with a 17" Lenovo Legion and I believe that he's quite happy with it (so much so that he's now going to sell his desktop, if I remember correctly). It really not that much bigger or heavier than my 15.6" laptop, so I guess that's fine. The fans do indeed ramp up quite a bit when gaming, but imo it wasn't that bad.

 

EDIT: I personally went from a 14" to a 15.6" laptop which was very much noticable, so going to 17.3" would be even better, I assume.

A fair point! However the 300 vs 500 nits is where my curiousty is at too. - If they both had the same screen quaility I would have gone 17 inch in a heart beat probably

I would pick better screen over larger screen anytime. I would obviously pick quieter too.

15 inch is the clear option
