Gaming Notebook or Chromebook and Rig?

[Detol]

Hi all, 

 

First post on LTT forum after watching LTT for the last 3 years.

 

I'm in my final year at university and need a new laptop.

 

My budget is £1000 but I was wondering whether this could be allocated to a Chromebook and a gaming rig instead? 

 

The laptop i'm considering is £850, i7 7700hq and 1050ti

 

OR

 

The chromebook is about £200 has measly specs (but come on, its a chromebook) 

 

And the proposed rig would include 7600k and a 1070/1060 rounding off the £1000 budget.

 

I know this question largely boils down to my use case for the machine but still, 

 

Any opinions/expert advice is much appreciated

It depends on where you go after uni, if you will have a lot of time at home go with a pc and notebook, or if you will travel and stuff get a gaming laptop, but the are huge disadvantages to using a gaming laptop for everyday and work, like the size the battery life the weight so on. I would recommend a PC and notebook thats what i have.

You'll have a better gaming experience on a desktop, so my vote is for the Chromebook and desktop.

If you want gaming on the go then obviously go for the gaming laptop. If you want to pay attention on your lectures, then go for the chromebook
