No laptop is going to have value, unless it's a Mac. But for something that does not scream LOOK AT ME, I'M A GAMER!!!!!1111!11,...

Intel 8th Gen, with MX150 (GT1030) graphics

value to me means under 1k with a quad core i5/i7 and 1080p IPS

 

if it comes with a HDD it better be a removable sata

 

 

 

i miss 16:10 on my monitors.

[TigerHawk]

So how is this any different than the ASUS ROG GL553VD-DS71 I bought a couple weeks ago, yet somehow more expensive?


STRIX tax and thats it? cause the hardware specs are identical.

They only have the old design not the new one yet. All of the new ones are 2 in 1. Not the traditional laptop design.
