Buying an used laptop. 

Gonna be gaming and doing some 3d modeling and renderings on it (Rhino, Vray, etc)

MSI GV62 8RE
i5-8300h (quad core)
GTX 1060 3gb
8gb Ram

Acer Nitro 5 AN515

i7-8750h (six core)

GTX 1050 4 gb
16gb ram

 

both has SSD so thats not an issue.

 

I know there are many other factors when buying a new laptop but just spec wise what do you guys think? I'm leaning towards the Acer because of the extra ram and extra 2 core
What are your opinions? :o

Just by specs, Acer. Rendering is still mostly CPU and memory based, as long as it still have some sort of graphics card, that's enough.

I`d take the 1060 3GB version. Thats almost 100% more powerful than that 1050 mobile gpu. Undervolt the  8300 a bit & test thermals, but overall it depends on the games u want to play vs amount of time u will actually 3d model with the CPU (or maybe your app uses the gpu)

 

but thats just me, i like more GPU power over CPU.

There`s something new to learn, every day!

Hmmm main reason I'm getting a gaming laptop is for my exchange semester which i'll be away from my tower (sniff sniff). the most id play would be some Tales games, Dota and overwatch? I don't think they require that much GPU power (unless im wrong)
The MSI is also lighter and i've heard it has better thermal too.
