Which one should I pick?

[Skullbunny]

Hey!

 

just having a hard time picking and not sure what's really important at this day and age  

 

I have either this; https://www.dell.com/en-au/shop/dell-laptops/new-inspiron-15-7000-gaming-red/spd/inspiron-15-7577-laptop/a511070au , for about AU$1350 

 

Or 

 

https://www.metabox.com.au/store/b244/Metabox-Alpha-X-N870EP-Laptop - + Slim Line 7200 RPM 1TB HD , + Windows 10 Home , for about AU$1950

 

OR OR OR 

 

https://www.msi.com/Laptop/GL62MVR-7RFX.html - about AU$1800

 

 

I'm really not sure if I7 8750 is worth the huge spike in price?

 

Money isn't really the problem here - but i wouldn't like to pay for something I wouldn't notice different.

 

Any insight?

Avoid MSI GL series. N870 and Dell 7577 also have their own issues.

 

What's your usage and what are your requirements? Any range on budget?

Mainly gaming and casual use , browsing media whatnot.

I'd like it to be 15"+ , 1060 atleast , not interested in 1050ti- , I'd like it to stay below AU$2,000 , I've got a proper desktop , this is just for travel purposes , gonna be away for 5-6 months.

 

I've already checked many, many options - on many different sites.

Also have;

it sums up at 1750

 

 

Thanks

Could you list out all 1060 laptops that are in your budget? (including Metabox)

I pretty much did.

You missed out some options:

1. N950TP (CFL-H desktop, i5 8400+1070)

2. P950EP (CFL-H) - thin and light

3. Dell G5 (CFL-H) - entry level IPS (FHD)

4. Alienware 13 (7700HQ+1060, on sale)

5. Dell G3 (CFL-H) - entry level IPS, OKish cooling (need undervolting, repaste and optional modding)

6. Dell Vostro 7570 (Inspiron 7577, 7700HQ+1060MQ)

7. Lenovo Y720 - entry level IPS, may need repaste, quite bulky

8. N850/870EP6 (CFL-H) - OKish overall quality, mediocre cooling (need undervolting, repaste and some modding)

 

I suggest upgrade RAM/storage yourself, usually cheaper. Max-Q 1060 usually can be tuned to match a regular 1060N. Every laptop needs undervolting IMO
