Didn't say the Clevo/Sager panels were less than awesome, just that i don't have much knowledge or experience with them That said, the IPS panel in the review you linked does look decent. With a GTX 1070 and even most 1060s you'll exceed 60 frames at 1080p, so the G-SYNC won't buy you a ton of value with only a 60Hz display. 

 

If it were me, even though it would stretch the wallet a bit, I'd go for option C with the 15" 120 Hz G-SYNC TN and the GTX 1070. The 1070 video card and 120Hz panel is going to take you much further than the 1060 would my man. 

Alright thanks man! 

Any thoughts on this panel

I did try reading up on it @notebookchecks forum and most people seemed quite pleased with the AOU TN panel.

 

Thanks again for all the replies guys!

From what i can see in that review, it's a pretty good TN panel! The color accuracy is the biggest failing point but you can calibrate that if it's really triggering you. Everything else seems pretty reasonable for a display panel intended for gaming.

Thanks again to everyone for the replies! Appears the clevos I wanted to buy are unattainable for various reasons

 

It appears I'm stuck between the following:

 

Asus ROG gl702vm - 120hz g sync 1060 6gb + thunderbolt 

 

Msi ge72vr - 120hz 1060 3gb (NO gsync and NO thunderbolt) 

 

There are some slight variations in disk sizes but that's about it. 

 

The Asus is obviously the winner spec wise. However! The big but is I've read several places that the Asus reaches quite high temperature (80-90ish)  during gaming. while notebookreview states the MSI maxes at 85 during stress tests (don't know real life gaming Temps). My retailer even has a "follow this link for bios bugfix/patch for heating problems/issues" for the Asus. The Asus seems a lot slimmer, and I'm afraid the issue is with the chassis design of the Asus.

 

I don't know what to make of this? 

Should I make a new thread?

 

Cheers

ASUS. The 1060 6GB is waaaaay better than the 3GB (It shouldn't really exist, being that it has less VRAM than a 1050 Ti), and laptops always get hot, so no need to worry.

That's what I've heard too. People describe the 3gb 1060 as a sham or neutered 1060. Even read the 3gb has less Cuda cores. 

 

The Asus features more ram too. 

I'm just afraid the Asus will throttle due to its seemingly ineffecient cooling (if one are to trust forum posts. Loads of them regarding heat on Asus forums etc.) I would THINK the msi has more efficient cooling. But I'm not sure if Asus solved it with the bios update  (how that would solve a thin - > hot chassis though I don't know) 

 

Thanks again for being a hero zando

I'd go with the ASUS anyways, since you have to have a pretty beefy laptop to avoid throttling. Even if it does throttle, it should perform better than one with a lesser GPU. And yeah, the 1060 3GB should be called the 1060, and the 1060 6GB should be a 1060 Ti. It's got more VRAM and more CUDA cores, just like the 1050 Ti vs 1050 and 1080 Ti vs 1080. IDK why they make it so confusing, but they do.
