Suggestions for a new laptop

[Jambalaya]

Hello again!

 

Currently looking for a new gaming laptop. I mostly do gaming and occasionally photo and video editing. Need your additional inputs on the following laptops:

 

Dell G7 (8750H, 1060 MQ, 8GB ram, 256GB + 2TB SSHD, $1,313.32) - Heard this one has acceptable battery life for a gaming laptop, and the only one with a fingerprint scanner but it has a dull screen and meh keyboard

 

Asus GL702VS (7700HQ, 1070, 12GB ram, 128GB + 1TB HDD $1,342.79) - G-Sync and my only option with a 1070 GPU but found out that it has horrendous cooling out of the box.

 

MSI GP63 Leopard-602 (8750H, 1060, 8GB Ram, 1TB HDD $1,398.05) - 120hz Display with decent color accuracy, but build quality is below acceptable and the most expensive.

 

Thanks!

Probably the Asus, it is a 1070 but just consider it as a 1060 bc if it gets hot it will under clock. It also has the most ram which is needed for video editing. But I think you can't make a wrong decision.

Outdated CPU, runs like a stove

Budget? Preferred max weight and minimum battery life? Any links of online stores?

ehhh not gonna lie, if I'm going to consider a 1070 as a 1060 because of it will overheat, then I will pick a 1060 with adequate cooling.

As long as it has a 1070 in it. 4 cores

 

Around $1300. Can't go beyond $1400. No preference in weight, as it is mostly a desktop replacement kind of laptop. Hopefully battery life can get around 4-7 hours but since this is a "at home" laptop, I might keep it plugged in.

 

Unfortunately, the Dell laptop doesn't have a website, its more of a traditional store where people can visit or make appointments via text message.

 

MSI: https://benstore.com.ph/msi/3404-msi-gp63-leopard-602-156-gaming-laptop-120hz-i7-8750h-gtx1060-6gb-8gb-ddr4-1tb-hdd-.html

 

I can vouch for the stores that sell the G7, the GL702 and the MSI since all of them are near my office and I've visited them from time to time.

Could you provide a list of links of online stores so that I can search the best options for you?

Might as well consider the G7. Hopefully I get one that includes a fingerprint scanner. I've seen so many laptop reviews of the G7 without a fingerprint scanner.
