Don't get a Razer laptop. Hell, don't get a gaming laptop at all.

 

 

Get a Thinkpad.

If for some reason you do manage to go with the Stealth +eGPU, know that the option without the dedicated GTX 1650 Max-Q actually has faster CPU performance, because it has a higher power limit. (The 1650 model gets out performed in cpu performance by last year's 8th gen model iirc), so depending on how often you want to game without an eGPU, it is probably a better option.

Desktop:

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 @3.75* RAM: 2 by 8gb G.Skill Flare X 2400 @2666* GPU Strix GTX 1070 @1880-ish

Storage: Samsung 860 Evo 500gb; 2x 2tb Seagate Barracuda Drives; 1tb hdd (It died after 4 years :();

 

Laptop: (HP Stream 11-y010nr "Spent all my money on my Desktop" Edition)

CPU: Intel Celeron N3060 @160 BILLION hertz RAM: 400 BILLION bytes Samsung DDR3L @160 BILLION hertz 

GPU: Intel HIGH DEFINITION Graphics @32 BILLION hertz

Storage: 32 TRILLION bytes of SOLID STATE emmc C drive with 64 TRILLION bytes of SOLID STATE microSD card D drive.

 

*Overclocked around 25% of the time... questionably stable.

I think a thinkpad would be good but I currently have a Lenovo legion y530 but I’m trying to find a powerful enough laptop where I can take it with me on the go and dock it up like a desktop at home. I have tried both the stealth and blade 15 but still can’t decide.

Ok, if I were to get a stealth, I would plan on getting the 8th gen cpu with MX150 then pair it to RTX 2070 since the blade 15 I want is the same gpu with max q

Razer? Gross. 

You lose performance going with an eGPU, IIRC equivilant to one step in the GPU line up. Why not just get an entire gaming system for home? Once you factor in the lower tier GPU and the cost of the eGPU enclosure you're not far off price wise.

Gaming laptops are horrible "take it on the go" machines and absolutely awful "use it on the go" machines.

 

ThinkPad + desktop
