Gaming Laptop

[xSerpent]

Hello, I'm sort of redoing this topic because I did not get as many opinions on my older topic, done yesterday. I'm thinking on buying a laptop for university(primarly for solidworks) that I could game on since I don't have a good pc at home, I was thinking on the asus rog gl553ve with this specs i7 7700HQ 16GB 256GB SSD + 1TB GTX1050Ti for around 1275 euros in offers. MSI laptops are expensive, almost around 1900 with a gtx 1060 6gb. I would like to know what you think of it. I also saw a post which mentioned the rog gl502vm that is around 1600 euros.

 

 

Thanks for helping!

What games do you play. Generally gaming laptops aren’t a smart choice.

I have the GL62 7rd with an i5 and 1050. Works great and can pretty much any game out there. I got it on sale for 600 pounds.

I recomend installing an SSD though as it is a slow hard drive. I will be buying a 256gb m.2 drive for mine

Depends on what you plan on playing. The cheapest at this performance level is the Dell Inspiron 15 Gaming with i5 7300HQ and 1050ti, and there are drawbacks like plastic everywhere and no fancy lights.

Nothing too demanding, csgo, ow, games like that , btw I want something that may be a little futureproof.

 

I was also thinking on games like gta v but that is a bit demanding.

laptops are the opposite of future-proof  You cant upgrade most of it.

 

Can you wait though? 8th gen gaming laptops are rumoured to come at Q1 2018, those newer stuff should be more future proof. We might also see laptops with quad core U chips and powerful graphics like a 1060 3gb/6gb.

I was expecting 8th gen laptops to come like late 2018, I don't realy need the computer now I have like 4 months time or so. Maybe I see if I can buy a "normal" pc for games and some work and a laptop that can handle solidworks and I can take it to university.
