980m Laptops in 2017?

[GurcemEugeneZekai]

Hey guys, how are you?

 

To start with i am well aware that 1060 beats 980m in most cases and it runs cooler. But what if the deal was too good? Considering the price range of 1000-1100 pounds which you can barely get a 1060 3gb variant with i5 some companies selling their stocks with i7-6820hk.

 

Here is a good example:

and closest rival from the same website:

Ps: I am about to drop some serious cash on a custom build gtx 1070 laptop but it hurts to spend so much money in one go

Desktop prices seem to be same with equivalent laptops. Yeah you get like 15% or more performance out of it but why not have a monitor + portability for the same price ?

The Acer Helios 300 and Lenovo Legion Y720 comes (also, Clevo based laptops) with GTX 1060 6GB at a fairly low price. However, if you can find a laptop with 980M under 1000 Pounds, you can get it

I think clevo offers a good variation of laptops with the 980m. Its a beast of a card, I ran gta 5 with 60fps locked at ultra. With just some oc

Yea not at that price. 980ms are good if they have an unlocked vbios from prema and you plan to tweak the shit out of it
