Looking at various gaming laptops and wanted to know are there any laptops with gtx 1060 core i7 and g-sync for under £1000 (note: 1000 POUNDS not dollars)

Do you 100% need a GTX 1060 in a laptop? Because you can probably live with a 1050 or 1050ti, or R5 2500U APU and save a decent amount of money...

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

forgot to mention i in the uk it says it wont ship to uk (the acer)  and yes, i  do need a gtx 1060

Is it really worth an extra 200-300 GBP for going from medium graphics to high/ultra? More than likely you won't notice a difference

its less than that the one i looking at currently is £950, but no g-sync. Cheapest one with ur specs is like £800. Also, this prob gonna be a one-time thing, so i wanna get a laptop that can handle the graphics of games as long in the future as possible

Unless you need to actually game while traveling or something maybe look into an external GPU laptop, that'll give you plenty of room to upgrade in the future,

Also looks like it's 600 GPB or under to get an i5 + 1050
