Need help choosing laptop

[Kunker_]

So for the summer I am moving away from home and leaving my desktop PC. So I need a laptop. The problem is that I dont know if I need a gaming laptop or a ultrabook. In the summer I would like to do some occasional gaming, but mostly plan to use the laptop for the internet, making websites. So I have narrowed my choice down to 2 laptops

If you can afford it, then go for the 1070 laptop.

With the 1070 laptop you can get around 100-120 fps in most games at 1080p ultra settings.

With the 1050 you can get around 60 FPS with Medium settings

Get the alien ware laptop. It will be faster, but make sure to get a laptop bag to put it in. Otherwise you'll look weird carrying a huge laptop around.

Why not AW15 R5?

 

You can consider thin and light gaming laptops, though most of them don't have good battery life (if that's important)

I think I want an ultrabook more but I'm stuck between these 2 because the dell XPS has lower specs but the zenbook pro  has good specs but bad thermals based on what I have seen online and the dell xps 15 has a really good display 4k touch

Both have cooling related issues

 

Budget? Usage? Requirements?

Is touchscreen really necessary to you? This will heavily limit your options

Well I can survive without it but would be a nice plus

I couldn't find a laptop that can meet ALL your requirements and budget. Could you cut down some requirements? Also, is battery life important to you?

Do you think the XPS 15 is a bad choice? Overpriced?

 

 

Alright use these 3 shops: 

Lmt.lv

Bite.lv

Tele2.lv

 

What I want:

A good screen (Resolution)

Lightweight (Not over 3kg)

decent gaming performance 1080p@60 or min 1080@45

Battery life at minimum 4 hours

It's good, but not great. Slightly overpriced IMO

If you really need a high reso display, looks like Dell XPS 15 9560 is the only option in your country. It needs a lot of tuning and modding.

 

Try to find Dell 7567/7577 with UHD panel. Alternatively you can go for eGPU solution

its going to be hard to find a laptop that has 4 hours on screen and can play games at 1080@60
