as you can see my laptop has i5 5200U and AMD r5 m330 2GB which was...well pretty great...still living up...
but i require a more powerful laptop that could atleast run gta v and similarly powered games very well...
 
 
my current choices for laptops are: 
  • LENOVO LEGION Y520
  • ASUS VX 15
  • HP OMEN
  • DELL INSPIRON GAMING

 

HOWEVER, these laptops have some disadvantages that comes at various fields 

like DELL has a bad TN panel...but good battery

 

i heard asus has bad speakers compared to the others but has a better screen than DELL

 

lenovo HAS a good keyboard,better speakers,good screen but people say it has bad battery life..

 

kindly confirm the points as true or false where i said   people say  

 

i dont know much about MSI or ROG or the others so kindly suggest some models...

 

what i require ARE:

-a resent true quadcore HQ processor *eg i5 7300HQ   i7 6700HQ etc

-GTX 1050 TI

-good build material

HAVING A CD ROM IS A VERY +++++ POINT,,I WOULD REALLY NEED THAT,BUT IF ITS REALLY MISSING SO I AFRAID I HAVE TO CHANGE MY HABITS USING IT SO OFTEN xD (but having it would be really good :D )

 

omen has alot of models but are expensive compared to others...

 

 

 

 

also kindly tell how much perfomance would i find in gmaing between i5 7300HQ and i7 7700HQ (i7 HAS HYPER THREADING,,i5 DOES NOT)

 

*my laptop easily runs 4 hours and thats enough for my needs and i usually sit near the power socket ,if a laptop catch up to that in basic stuff like surfing the internet,basic minecraft gameplay, slither.io then its OK :D 

 

pls reply and halp me

Dark theme killed this post.

i5 6600k and GTX 1070 but I play 1600-900. 1440p BABY!

Still, don't put too much faith in my buying decisions. xD

Dell if you can replace the screen yourself. 

Legion Y520 otherwise. 

 

Also, while yes games in this generation are tuned far better for quad cores and HT, the limiting factor here is the 1050ti. So don't worry about i5 vs i7. You'll get a decent bump, but its not hard bottlenecking anything (unless you go up to like a 1060 or 1070 then it's hard core bottlenecking things. The 6700HQ is pretty bad in this regard).

Get the Lenovo Y520 with 1050TI if you don't care its fingerprint magnet and mediocre battery life.
Acer VX15 and HP Omen 15t are good choices too. Will not recommend Dell 7567 due to its poor TN panel.
Among the 3 choices, get the cheapest one.
i5 and i7 only have performance difference in heavy games or CPU-bounded games.
