I have picked out a few laptops, please tell me which one is should I get?

 

 

Hp Omen 15-CE198WM-Price $1,259

Specs

• i7-8750H
• 16gb DDR4 @ 2666mhz
• GTX 1060 6gb (Yes it has a full desktop GPU in it)
• 1TB HDD + 256GB NVME PCIe SSD
• has a thunderbolt

Dell G5 G5587-7037RED-PUS-Price $1,099

Specs

• i7-8750H
• 8gb DDR4 @ 2666mhz
• 1TB HDD + 128gb SSD
• GTX 1050 TI 4gb

Hp Pavilion 15-cx0058wm-Price $829.99

Specs

• i5-8300H
• 8gb DDR4 @  2666mhz

Nope it doesnt, just because it isnt Max-Q doesnt mean it isnt a mobile GPU.

 

Also, these 3 are too far apart to be compared... You will be choosing based on how much performance you want, not whether one laptop itself is any good (cooling, noise level, battery life etc).

It does have a full desktop GPU in it and the reason why I didn't put cooling, noise level, and battery life is like a 99.99% match.

Kinda weird to compare three different laptops at three different price points. The $1,259 HP Omen is the one you should get if it's within your budget because it's obviously the best spec wise out of the three. That being said a lot of factors go into a laptop; cooling, weight, fan noise, the hardware, build quality, storage (size and SSD vs HDD) plus some more I'm probably forgetting. I'd figure out what you want it to do (gaming, productivity, just web browsing or all three etc.) then figure out how much you want to spend. After that it should narrow it right down and once you get a few similar options you can start getting picky like how does it look, RGB backlighting, brand recognition etc.

if you read the post before yours you will know why I only chose to include the CPU, storage, ram,GPU, and etc

Where are you from? Budget? Usage? Preferred max weight and minimum battery life?

I just going to choose out of the three because there was a MSI laptop but it was 1.4k and it had a GTX 1050 TI and 128gb SSD

No other options with 1050TI?

 

HP Omen ce has OKish cooling which isn't good to handle the hot 8750H, however it may equipped with good sRGB IPS panel (depends on region). Dell G5 has good build quality and cooling but has entry level IPS and so so keyboard. HP Pavilion Gaming has the same problem with Omen ce, most probably it's equipped with entry level IPS

whatever, if it makes you feel better.

 

Looking at the prices and components, though, the HP Omen is the best value. Do be prepared with rather high temps, so undervolting is much preferred. If you dont mind, try replace the thermal paste with something better

Actually the temp on any of the laptops aren’t bad. People have seen up to 50c to 60c when play cpu and gpu heavy games.

Then go with the best and thus most expensive option. Seems like a no brainer to me.

Temps on most gaming laptops are "bad" when compare to desktops. 50 - 60C is what I get on my full sized desktop when gaming. Most laptops (depending on size and cooling capactiy obviously) are probably skewed higher into the 70s or 80s which isn't horrible as long as it doesn't transfer to the user all that much. Hardware is made to go up into the 90s.

then they havent played those games long enough. My research seems to point out that extended gaming time will push temps above 80C

i edited it and changed it to say aren't because my desktop reaches that temps and my desktop specs are less than the Hp Omen

I can Confirm this, i have had a MSI GS63 with a GTX1060 and it went way over 60°c even when running something like cuphead, Idle was around 48°c

Just they have. Not all laptops have bad cooling also 50c to 60c is what a lot of devices get to when playing games.My desktop has only exhaust fans and I see temps lower than this.

60c is not that bad so is 70c.

Watch and skip to 4:50

Yeah, but not the Omen. There are laptops much thicker than a steak and those do cool well, just none of those as thin as the Omen.

Also those are internal temps that i mentioned, not external temps so using a camera to check the temp isn't always the actual temp of the card inside.

look at 4.58 of that video on what HWinfo says

A 6 core cpu will always get hot

Then do something about it. 95C+ max is unacceptable for long term use, and will hurt performance through thermal throttling.

[FastRDust]

I think we mixed up internal temps and external temps.

For the external temp to reach 60°C the GPU inside has to be at least 96°C as well as the CPU

 

you will not feel this heat as it is dissipated, the temps measured from the camera are not the real temps of the hardware itself.

 

I think we got that confused.

Prob if you would have had open your ears and listen. He said that the CPU will thermal throttle.

 

You should probably open your ears and listen instead of just looking at the video
