Which one to get?

I am looking for a 13" - 17.2" Laptop ( preferably 15.6" ). I will use it for gaming and also for some university work on it [thats why I need a Laptop].

 

 

- atleast a i7 6700HQ as processor. 

- 1050 ti or something like that

(There is no laptop with a 9th series GPU that is about the same cost and performance right? And all the 1060 laptops seem to be waaaaay more expensive. I play a lot of different games. Ranging from pretty undemanding Free-To-Play titles up to some AAA titles. I do not need ultra settings in every game but would like to be able to play most games at 1080p at high settings at reasonable framerates.)

- atleast 8GB RAM, 16 GB would be better ;) 

- SSD+ HDD ( atleast 1TB storage like a 128 GB SSD+ 1TB HDD )

- a way to connect 2 monitors (Hdmi+displayport or Hdmi+ USB C for example)

 

I looked at the Dell Inspiron 7567 but it doesnt have a way to connect 2 displays (only 1 through Hdmi) and it has a really bad display afaik.

I also looked at the Lenovo Legion Y520 but it's only available with either an i5 7th gen processor + 1050ti or a i7 7th gen processor + a normal 1050. (I don't know how much the difference between the i7 and i5 is.) http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/ideapad/legion-y-series/y520/?IPromoID=LEN216395

 

The one  that I am currently looking at is the Acer Aspire VX 15. It has the right processor, graphics card and a USB C port but I am not sure about the design and the placement of the ports.

Sadly I am living in Germany and as far as I know I can't get any of the Clevo rebranded laptops here (without paying like 300€ for shipping).

 

Can anybody recommend or suggest any other laptop in this pricerange ( 1000€-1350€ [a bit less performance for cheaper would be ok too^_^]) or do I have to go with the Acer?

 

I am looking forward to your suggestions and thank you in advance for your help. :D

sadly the  MSI GE62 7RE goes for 1500€+ in Germany. The HP Omen sadly doesn't have a possibility to connect 2 screens. (It only has one Hdmi Port)

The HP Omen sadly only has one Hdmi Port and no other way to connect another screen.

About the MSI one: There is no 1050ti version afaik. In addition to that its 1400€ PLUS the price of a SSD I would have to add to it.

http://laptopmedia.com/review/asus-fx502vm-review-an-outcast-republic-of-gamers-laptop/ they that under a stress test it had issues with cooling but that is under worse case scenario so idk if that matter to you because during normal gaming the temperatures looked fine.

Dreammachine in Poland is a Clevo retailer. I believe shipping from Poland to Germany is cheap.

Is the screen on that thing so bad that people can't recommend it anymore?

yup, look at the reviews for them, they're pretty bad.

 

once I find out a laptop has a TN panel, it's not on my choice anymore.

Sigh, the dell was actually one of the only laptop's that I found that match my criteria :(

Just a side question, do you have any idea what the dell xps L502x has for it's screen? Is it a TN panel? Reason I'm asking is because I have a dell xps l502x and I wanted to see if it has a TN panel so I can see what the fuss is about.

There are varying levels of tn. There are some good tn panels. Some bad. The Dell one is definitely shit.

i don't really care about good tn panels or bad tn panels. if it's a TN, regardless if its good or bad, It's off my choice. just personal preference :P IPS ftw.
