Looking for a decent laptop with dedicated gfx

[Johnaz]

Hi all,

 

I'm buying a laptop for the wife so she can do some courses on away from the kids and also have the option later to use as a gaming laptop.

Budget around £1200 in the UK although i'm flexible.

I was looking at one of the new Amd models but most have low end gpu's and are not available or have heat issues or bad displays.

 

I had 3 laptops I was toying with and the best of them seems to be the Dell g5 but a full Amd system with some heat issues of it's own and stability issues I have heard I am unsure:

I was also considering the Lenovo Legion 5 15" Amd (out of stock currently) but with a 1650ti the gpu is weak but everything else seems very good.

 

Another one was the ASUS TUF FA706IU 17.3 which may be slightly better cooling as it is bigger although not much better and is a 1660ti so the heat may not be as some have reviewed but the screen still has a high latency for the price you pay.

Can any of you suggest a better laptop for the price from either Intel or Amd that maybe I have missed, I also cannot wait for more laptop to come out as I have waited until July as many Amd laptops suggested they would be out by now and have not.

 

Thanks.
