@Tarun10 and @ZM Fong how's the MSI GL62M 7REX-1896US for screen rgb? 

Bad panel, mediocre build quality and QC, OKish CPU cooling

The Omen 15 has decent DeltaEs, Black levels, Gamma, and sRGB coverage is pretty good. Brightness is also decent.

However I can't find any reviews on the newer 2018 Omen which seems to have much better hardware.

Nice review. When the speaker part came on I had to deal with distortion on that laptop and also that on my laptop speakers...…...

It looks like this HP Omen is good. The Dell G5 is also good.

Its the older version. Display is about the same but slightly brighter. Performance is okay but thermal limitations are present.

[Tarun10]

@ZM Fong So basically all MSI G series have thermal issues. What about ROG Strix series???

what about a 900$ budget laptop?

I think you will have to pick between the HP Omen, the new Pavilion gaming(wait for reviews) and the Dell G5. If you can I think spending 1050$ to get an i7-8750H is worth it.

Then I guess you will have to downgrade to i5-8300H and GTX1050TI. HP Pavilion gaming looks good. Or you will have to go with an older Dell Inspiron. How is the Asus TUF 504 and the Aspire 7. Both have lower clocks in lieu of bad thermal designs right?? @ZM Fong

Do you carry your laptop around a lot because if you don't and battery life and weight doesn't matter a desktop would be a good idea. For 700$ you can get a really good system and you can spend the rest on a monitor and peripherals.

FX504: Terrible cooling

Aspire 7: shares similar pros and cons with Nitro 5 which means CPU cooling issue is still there

Dell G5/G7, Lenovo Y530, HP Pavilion Gaming. Or Acer Nitro 5/Aspire 7 and Dell G3 if you are willing to fix the cooling issue. MSI GV/GF also OK (OKish build quality, OK-good cooling, mediocre panel)
