Is The MX Master V1 Good For me?

So I am getting this laptop 

 

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LD4MGY4/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

 

it has an i5 7200U, GTX 940MX, 8gb ddr4 (upgradeable to 2X16gb=32GB), 256GB m.2 SSD with empty 2.5inch bay.

 

I am going to be using this at school and at home basically all day so I thought "if I am going to be using this all day with a mouse, why don't I get one of the best so I am comfortable?" And I also though of it like your bed. You will be in your bed 1/3 of your life so you should get a comfortable one. So is the MX Master V1 a good mouse for me? The games I will play are Overwatch, CS:GO, PUBG, H1Z1, and I will have heaps of browser tabs open on Chrome. I have big hands (from bottom of palm to tip of middle finder is almost as long as an iPad mini 2 (closest thing near me when typing)). I will also be doing Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, a little video editing and some other things. 

 

If you have any other recommendations, I would love to hear them.

 

Have a great day!

Yes, now is the best time to buy them since I couldn't offer when it was $100.

If you still can, try to get the same Acer with an MX 150 Nvidia gfx card. It has some more hours milage on the battery and performance wise the mx150 resides between the slower and faster 950 

Main System:

Anghammarad : Asrock Taichi x570, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @4900 MHz. 32 GB DDR4 3600, some NVME SSDs, Gainward Phoenix RTX 3070TI

 

System 2 "Igluna" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

System 3 "Inskah" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

 

On the Road: Acer Aspire 5 Model A515-51G-54FD, Intel Core i5 7200U, 8 GB DDR4 Ram, 120 GB SSD, 1 TB SSD, Intel CPU GFX and Nvidia MX 150, Full HD IPS display

 

Media System "Vio": Aorus Elite AX V2, Ryzen 7 5700X, 64 GB Ram DDR4 3200 Mushkin, 1 275 GB Crucial MX SSD, 1 tb Crucial MX500 SSD. IBM 5015 Megaraid, 4 Seagate Ironwolf 4TB HDD in raid 5, 4 WD RED 4 tb in another Raid 5, Gainward Phoenix GTX 1060

 

(Abit Fatal1ty FP9 IN SLI, C2Duo E8400, 6 GB Ram DDR2 800, far too less diskspace, Gainward Phantom 560 GTX broken need fixing)

 

Nostalgia: Amiga 1200, Tower Build, CPU/FPU/MMU 68EC020, 68030, 68882 @50 Mhz, 10 MByte ram (2 MB Chip, 8 MB Fast), Fast SCSI II, 2 CDRoms, 2 1 GB SCSI II IBM Harddrives, 512 MB Quantum Lightning HDD, self soldered Sync changer to attach VGA displays, WLAN

here is the amazon germany link. 

 

https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B072V26M6J/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

I ordered that thing for myself today. should arrive tomorrow.

 

Acer is starting to put in the mx 150 into more of their laptops. This one I couldn't find on the Acer side, but I got it confirmed as being the right specs as in the description. 

 

Notebook Check gave this version with the mx 150 some higher points than the one with the mx 940 for performance and battery life.

I am buying everything in AUD so the one I linked is $770 inc shipping and the one you mentioned can't ship to me and is above $1000AUD. Personally that is not worth the small amount of performance increase. During school when I can't charge it, I am going to switch it to just intel integrated graphics to save power.

Around here the one I linked is cheaper than some models with a 940. I was a little puzzled. In the US most laptops are cheaper than compared to here in germany. when a machine costs around 700 bucks in the us, here it is around 900...
