So i was looking to buy a gaming laptop which i can use for school and work (mostly for spreadsheets, documents, powerpoints) and also be able to enjoy some of my favourite games such as rainbow six seige and fortnite and some various fps games. I also would like to use this laptop for sound and video editing occasionally.

 

im stuck deciding between an asus rog strix scar II 15.6 inch laptop with a 2060 and i7 https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/asus-rog-scar-ii-15-6-gaming-laptop-intel-core-i7-8750h-512gb-ssd-16gb-ram-rtx-2060/13391359

and an asus rog zephyrus s gx531gm 15.6 inch gtx 1060 and i7 as well. https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/p/asus-rog-zephyrus-s-gx531gm-gaming-pc/8rslj5zmdt4s?cid=msft_web_collection&activetab=pivot%3aoverviewtab

they both have 512 gb ssd and 16GB memory, and at the current deals i'm getting, theyre both the same price ($1599.99 CAD)

which one would you recommend, as im leaning towards the scar 2, except it seems a lot bulkier than the other one.

the rog strix has a 2060 which is better than the 1060ti and the cpu is the same one.

the scar 2 is bulkier but that also means better airflow for your cooling which will be needed for a 2060.

it will therefore also might be heavier.

i'd definitly go with the scar 2

Anything i've written between the * and * is not meant to be taken seriously.

keep in mind that helping with problems is hard if you aren't specific and detailed.

i'm also not a professional, (yet) so make sure to personally verify important information as i could be wrong.
