New laptop

[xSerpent]

Hello. I want to start by saying that at first I wanted to build my own pc but because I need to get one that I could take to university I've decided to buy a laptop that would be futureproof. At first I was thinking on the Asus GL553VE(1400 euros) but then I saw a post about laptops under 1500 dollars and there was the Asus GL502VM that in my country costs arround 1600 euros. I would like to know what you guys think or if you can help me making the right decision because I read that de GL553 was overpriced but I don't like the red a the GL502. I'll buy the computer probably near Christmas when there are offers.

 

Thanks for helping!

What do you plan on doing with the laptop?

^^^^ Also, nothing is future proof, unless you are fine with noticeably degraded performance 3 years down the road and are fine with lowering settings to make up for that.

Gaming on free time, Solidworks on university and doing things on excel word and powerpoint.

I know, I want something that may be good I don't plan on playing AAA titles on that, I'm going to play cs go on that securely, maybe overwatch (I can't on my current pc that is why I said maybe), civ 6 propably total war warhammer 2, diablo 3 and destiny 2(If my friends buy it ofc) by the way some of the games listed I don't have them.

Not the best cooling, higher inner temps and fan noise compared to other alternatives. Yes it's overpriced.

Also not the greatest temps due to powerful GPU in a fairly thin chassis
