970m vs 1060 (notebook)

[Finnskii]

Hi, I am thinking about saving up for another laptop and I want to see how much money do I have to scrape up to buy one. I am thinking about getting a msi-gs73vr, so that really thin 1060 laptop from MSI or just the Stealth pro. Is it worth the extra £400? I have searched this up already but I want another opinion before I decide make this investment. I know what you are probably thinking GET AT DESKTOP, but I can't because of space issues. Any help?

If these are any indication:

The 1060 is about 40%-50% faster than the 970m. How much that's worth to you is your opinion, but I'd probably eat the cost difference.

 

EDIT: I did only a cursory glance, so when I looked at it more, I saw some benchmarks were up to 100% faster.

@M.Yurizaki Yeah true, I suppose I will go with the 1060.

Yeah the 1060 is way faster than the 970m and is more efficient which may help battery life

1060 hands down... But regarding the stealth pro, I think linus pointed out some issues with the keyboard or something when he got his paws on it, so could be worth rewatching is review... The msi-gs73vr does look pretty good though.. If youre down to sacrifice the RGB keyboard for a bigger g-sync display and a +£50 price tag though, check out the ROG strix GL702VM.. it looks to be specced out the same as the MSI one....
