new laptop

[the_caldou]

hey guys!

 

I am looking for a new laptop that I will be able to do some light gaming on.

I have a couple of request: 

- It has to be less than 15 inches

- the graphic has to be at least a 1050ti or better

-I will be playing some RTS games on it so I would like at least an I5

 

I have my eyes on the alienware 13 with the oled display and I saw a couple of xmg laptops

What would you recommend? The size I want is tricky and I know I cant get an over performing laptop

 

Thank you very much for your help

Budget?

for the moment there isn't really a budget but around the price of the alienware so around of 1700$

get an XPS 15, Alienware has poor thermal management.

it won't matter, the xps 15 is really small for a 15-inch laptop, Alienware is a huge waste of space for a 13-inch laptop.

Guess so.

 

Im looking into their cheaper 15 inch one which isn't that thick.

15 inch is usually a sweet spot.

searching for 13-14 inch laptop I can see that 

I am a bit scared with msi had quite a bit of problems using their motherboard and I could get a xmg for cheaper. I live in frogland and you get the eurotax that is a pain in the butt
