3 laptops but not sure which one to choose.

Hey everyone,

Not sure about which laptop to choose between the following 3:

i5-8300H 8GB RAM 1000GB HDD + 128GB SSD 4GB GTX 1050 Ti 1080p 60Hz screen Price: £660: https://it-supplier.co.uk/asus-fx50...20-x-1080pixels-black-notebook-fx504ge-e4031t

i5-7300hq, 3gb 1060, 120Hz screen and 256GB ssd for £780: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07CHH1481/ref=psdc_429886031_t2_B079WYGS7Y

i5-7300hq, 6gb 1060, 60Hz screen and 128GB ssd + 1TB hdd fpr £750: https://www.box.co.uk/FX503VM-DM102...piry=1542114329&source=webgains&siteid=116019

My budget is £700. I'm honestly not sure if I should spend the extra for a 1060 as I'm not a heavy gamer though the last laptop I listed seems tempting. I've been gaming on a desktop R9 380 and have been completely fine with it's performance. I normally switch computers every 2 years so that's about how long this laptop will need to last.

Will be used for gaming, currently play games like Warframe, Just Cause 3, Borderlands 2 and Assassins's Creed. 1080p medium / high would be nice, not really bothered about ultra.

The first one has a good processor but a 1050 Ti, the second seems great except for the 3GB 1060 and the i5-7300hq and the last has the 6GB 1060 but 'only' a i5-7300hq.

Do you think there would be a big difference in gaming between a 4 core 4 thread i5-7300hq and a 4 core 8 thread i5-8300h?

It would be nice to get some advice.

Thanks for reading

Only these 3? All of them have bad cooling

Yes because within my budget these are the only options with at least a 1050 Ti.

You sacrificed a lot of things like cooling, build quality, display quality

 

How about PCSpecialist Vyper?

I had a look at the laptop too.  I would be paying the same amount for the i5-8300h + 1050Ti Vyper as the Asus model with a i5-7300hq + 6GB 1060.  At which point there is also an Asus with a i5-8300h + 1050Ti which is much cheaper than the Vyper.  I might have considered it more if the Vyper was based on a Sager chassis but PCspecialist seemed to have switched to a manufacturer called Tongfang.

 

At my budget you can't exactly have everything can you?  Cooling isn't an issue because I have a cooling pad, I don't really care about build quality as long as it literally doesn't fall apart for the next 2 years and the display seems to be average and as I'm not going to be doing any photo  / video editing this doesn't really bother me that much.
