Yes i'm still looking for a new laptop, still have a few months of saving left, i came across this ASUS strix model, a gtx1060 3gb, an i5 7300HQ, 16GB ram, 128gb ssd and a 1tb HDD with an ips panel.

Now what i need to know, if anyone has this laptop, is the cooling good? since i'll be taking it to friends/work/lan parties i don't want it to thermal throttle or even overheat during gaming.

Thanks in advance!

Based on the cons (TN panel and mediocre cooling system), I will not get it if I were you.

Alright, i'll have to look further then, but it seems a laptop with a 1050TI might be my best choice.

The dell inspiron and HP omen are still top tier contenders for me, i can deal with a not-so-great TN panel, after all, cant be worse than my current laptop.

 

To be clear, my chosen fx502VM model had an IPS screen, but if cooling is indeed an issue, i won't buy it.

 

Thanks for the help!
