FX504 has bad cooling and OKish build quality

Hello, I have been looking for a new gaming laptop that has great performance. With a very low price tag. Somewhere around 800 to 1000 dollars. 1000 dollars being like the bare maximum, worst case scenario.

Where are you from? Any preference on weight and battery life? Any other special requirements?

Dell G5. Good build quality and cooling. Only major problem is the low sRGB IPS display

I've looked at that laptop, the one with 1060 max q and have seen from many people that it gets VERY hot.

It has good cooling. CFL-H runs hot, that's why. The 1060MQ GPU can tuned to full blown 1060

Kk I looked into the laptop and found that it has has some of the best prices for a 1060 on amazon, and was just wondering if I would be able to put it o  my lap bes cause that's where my laptop right now spends most of it's time, and also if it would get very loud because I like to play games with my friends with headset and would not like to hear loud fans in the background

Every CFL-H laptop gets loud. You can do some tuning however

So should I try to get one without coffee lake on amazon just for the sake of my eardrums?

CFL-H CPUs have more performance. High clock speed does help in some games

Like I said above, you can do some tuning for better experience
