Laptop recommendations

[Valhalla]

Hello,

I am currently looking to buy a laptop, as my desktop GPU broke (Canadian GPUs are extremely expensive and you're better off buying a laptop).

 

Anyway, I'm going into university next year for engineering, so portability might be a factor. Ideally I wouldn't have to buy two.

 

I would like to get something with decent build quality, screen as well as specs vs size and weight. I'll be using it as my main machine (no more desktop).

 

I am looking on eBay and Craigslist for the best bang for the buck deals (living in Vancouver BC Canada)

 

I found an Aorus X7 V5 (i7 6820hk, 970m SLI, 75hz IPS gsync screen, metal build and raid m.2 SSDs). Is this worth it for $1000 used?

 

Also are there any suggestions for better options then this? As the Aorus is rather heavy, and SLI doesn't always work? Maybe some cheap (smaller) GTX 1060 ones in the same price range?

 

 

Thanks for any help!

It's decent especially in terms of performance but I dislike SLI due to more heat output and utilising issues. Try to find a used/refurbished GTX 1070 laptop with good cooling.
