Location: Vietnam, but I'm going to America in a couple of weeks so I'll probably get it there. I don't really have any preference when it comes to weight as long as the laptop is adequately cooled and well speced (for the price). The same goes for battery life as long as it's over 3 hours it's ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of performance in general, its vr ready for starters and since your doing video editing and ram is a must this laptop has 16 gbs of it. Because of that i7 it supports hyper threading and bases around 3.5 ghz and is a "HQ" processor not a shitty "U" processor and his easily upgradeable, IO is surprising well considering price point and this day and age for "thin and lights" so it houses 3x USB 3.0 ports a fucking thunderbolt 3 for fucks sake, sd card reader, 3.5 mm aux jack, Mini DisplayPort and a HDMI 2.0 port. My current code projects -------------------------------- C#/OpenGL ( using OpenTK graphics library API ) KnightsRealm ( unfinished, WIP plan on releasing on steam maybe a mobile port idk ) 2d topdown pixel art based game with medieval themes, sorcery, dragons, open world C++ crypter ( if your into cryptography, I plan on releasing this on my website later ) C#/OpenGL ( OpenGL for UI ) fan/light controller for my room w/ raspberry pi and some mechanical motors and stuff Current repair projects ------------------------------ My dreadful receiver ( a capacitor blew ) working on a PC from a client, CPU died within the system, seems like a short, replaced CPU and awaiting payment before I ship it back my old 1tb sas drive for my NAS, some blemishes or something on the PCB need to clear that back out, if it doesn't work i'll need to scrap it ( already backed up all my stuff thankfully ) If you want any software made, or stuff to be repaired give me an email! mike.fernandez5138699@gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 24, 2018 MSI GV62 has OKish build quality and display but has OK-good cooling. Dell G3, Acer Nitro 5 and HP Pavilion Gaming need repaste due to OK-mediocre cooling If you're buying from US you can also look into Eluctronics NB50, CyberpowerPC Tracer III, Lenovo Legion Y530, HP Omen dc Desktop specs: Spoiler AMD Ryzen 5 5600 Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB Gigabyte B550M DS3H mATX Asrock Challenger Pro OC Radeon RX 6700 XT Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (8Gx2) 3600MHz CL18 Kingston NV2 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD Montech Century 850W Gold Tecware Nexus Air (Black) ATX Mid Tower Laptop: Lenovo Ideapad 5 Pro 16ACH6 Phone: Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro 8+128 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
