Laptop recommendations for gaming/editing

[HeathCliff]

Hiya guys,

 

With the upcoming changes to my job, I'm going to be more on the move than before, so I thought I might as well get something while I'm away from my main rig. The key points I'm really looking for would be somewhat thin and light (nothing overly bulky), great for gaming and light video editing, great build quality and something that's not too flashy as I may end up using it in meetings here and there.

 

Some of the picks I've found so far are the Asus ROG Zephyrus M and the MSI GS65 Stealth. Both have the i7-9750H and a 2060. The Asus does however come with 1TB over the MSI's 512GB. The budget I guess is about £2K, but if there's a significant upgrade on another option which is a bit higher, then I can manage. The window of time until I need one is at the start of April, so if I missed any new releases during CES, I'll consider them as I remember there were a few 10th gen Intel and some AMD laptops here and there. 

 

Thanks for the help

I would wait as long as possible. new AMD cpu's look SICK. cant wait for benchmarks to compare with 8750h/9750h

The most beautiful screen I have seen on a laptop is on the Gigabyte Aero 15. It has AI buzzwords, but it is really a great machine. The keyboard is a bit light for me, but the screen and the performance are fantastic.
