              Hey, I've had a hard time choosing a laptop that is good for gaming but also for all purpose. I found many laptops but I either found them to bulky or very low end specs. Here is what I need.

  • AT LEAST a gtx 1050 or MX1050
  • Portable and can be used for gaming. 
  • An Intel Core I7
  • Decent IO Including a Thunderbolt 3
  • Not over $1600 or 2078.96 in Canadian Dollars 
  • Doesn't have too many gaming aesthetics such as the Acer Predator Helios. 
  • Can run PUBG on at least medium settings. 

What I found:

No, but I am thinking about a laptop I can take to college. The reason I chose Razer is that I can add a razer core or other third party brands.

Razer has really really bad QC

If your getting a razer core why not a dekstop and a chromebbok

Lenovo Ideapad 720S 15". It's got an i7 7700HQ, GTX 1050TI, up to 8G RAM? Looks like a decent laptop

This is better. The 5 options you choose are mediocre. Keep in mind that 1050TI in it is Max-Q variant. Also, it has underpowered charger issue but this might have solved
