    The ASUS GL502vs or the MSI GS63, which one should I go for?

    The ASUS GL502vs or the MSI GS63, which one should I go for?


    The ASUS GL502vs or the MSI GS63, which one should I go for?

    Posted: 05 Jul 2018 01:32 AM PDT

    So let's start off by saying I live in Nepal, where the customer care service is basically non existent so that part can be scrapped off completely.

    The version of the ROG GL502vs that I found has, an i7 7700HQ, a GTX 1070, a 120Hz G-Sync IPS Panel, 16 GBs of DDR4 memory, a 1 TB hard drive and a SSD on a 2.4KG Alimunium-Polycarbonate chasis. It costs somewhere around $1900

    The MSI GS63 has an i7 7700HQ, a GTX 1060, a 60Hz 3180×2160 IPS Panel, 16 GBs of DDR4 memory, a 2 TB hard drive and a 512 GB SSD on a 1.8KG Aluminum chasis. This one costs around $2000.

    I'm tempted to go for the ROG but I've read online that this Laptop has a lot of heating issues with temperatures soaring over the 90°C mark (It was also recommended to undervolt the CPU). I also heard that the build quality of the Laptop is poor and that it doesn't really last more than 2 years and stuff like that. Whereas for the MSI I've read that It's a better machine in terms of cooling and build quality.

    I am starting college this year hence why I need a new laptop thats a bit more powerful cause I do game quite a lot, I mostly use the laptop for gaming and light Photoshop and graphic designs, which laptop seems better?

    Need a 32gb Ram Business laptop

    Posted: 05 Jul 2018 02:16 AM PDT

    Hello I'm looking for a business Laptop with around a 15.6 inch screen, 32gb ram or capacity, a 512gb ssd would be preferable but not essential if not then at least a 1TB hdd. It needs to be relatively light as in not a gaming laptop. Graphics are not important. The upper budget is about £2000 but the cheaper the better really. My preference would be a HP but I am more than open to other suggestions. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    Desktop Replacement ~$2700 doable?

    Posted: 05 Jul 2018 01:42 AM PDT

    I'm soon going to be away for a few months leaving me unable to work or play on my desktop.

    I'm a professional web and software developer so it's crucial that I can run IDE's, VM's etc.

    I also enjoy gaming in my down time. Games vary but I enjoy playing titles such as WoW, Ark, Rust and any new single player I fancy picking up.

    I was hoping that when I return I can continue to use the laptop for development and gaming when I'm on the road but at the same time potentially use the laptop as my 'desktop' when I'm home and it at least be able to run games for the next couple of years. For this I think I will need a 1060/1070?

    I'm unsure about 144hz @1080p or 60hz @4k. The 4k will give me more 'screen real estate', right? With the 144hz giving more smoothness in general activities and gaming?

    Anyway, what laptop would you recommend for this? Am I asking too much for this price?

    Build quality, screen color accuracy, thin bezels, keyboard quality and frame rates are my priority.

    Thanks

    Is the Huawei matebook x pro reliable?

    Posted: 05 Jul 2018 12:52 AM PDT

    I need a portable and premium laptop with an i7 and dGPU. I researched on a lot of laptops and decided on HP Spectre x360 15 and I feel like it's not the perfect one for me (don't need 2 in 1, no 1080p option so battery drained faster, 15 inch not very portable). Then I found the Huawei matebook x pro, it kind of has everything that I need, plus it has a 3:2 aspect ratio and a very attractive design. Now my problem is, it's a Chinese product, so how reliable is it going to be? If I need customer service, will I have to go all the way to China? Will the laptop crap out on me in just a year?

    Laptops with Intel CPU-AMD GPU and AMD CPU-Nvidia GPU

    Posted: 05 Jul 2018 01:07 AM PDT

    Greetings.

    Right now, I'm using an HP Pavilion 11-x360 with Intel Pentium CPU which I bought it brand new back in 2014. Now, I am definitely thinking about replacing it with another brand new laptop. I am just a blogger and a photographer who frequently uses Adobe softwares such as Ps, Lr, and Mu just to name a few. Also, I am just a casual PC gamer who would play car sim games from Steam.

    I have two kinds of hardware I have been thinking. I want a laptop that have either:
    - Intel CPU and AMD GPU
    - AMD CPU and Nvidia GPU

    Preferably, I want a laptop that equipped with above mid-range CPU and GPU.
    - Intel CPU: i5 and above. Gen 8 would be great, but Gen 7 still fine by me.
    - AMD GPU: Radeon RX 540 and above
    - AMD CPU: Ryzen 5 or A9 and above
    - Nvidia GPU: 9xx or the lowest of 10xx and above

    * **Total budget and country of purchase:** Any budget's fine. Preferably Malaysia, but anywhere's okay. * **Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply.** Perferably best spec for the money. * **How important is weight and thinness to you?** Don't really care * **Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux.** Windows, all the way. * **Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.** N/A * **Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.** Video editing: Adobe Ps, Lr, Pr, Ae, Mu, In, Dw Games: All car sim games (R3E, Assetto Corsa, Project Cars 2, GRID, the lot) * **If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?** R3E, Assetto Corsa, Project Cars 2, GRID, and other various car sim games. Settings: Above average, but not too high or full. FPS: 60 would be fine at the moment. * **Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?** Apart from SSD or HDD+SSD, not really. * **Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.** Laptops with CPU-GPU hybrid.

    Looking to replace my ~2 year old laptop

    Also, laptops sold local here are just... expensive. I was wondering of buying online; amazon etc.. but I'm worried on the warranties. Can someone guide me?

    Upgrade time!

    Posted: 05 Jul 2018 03:00 AM PDT

    Background: Time to upgrade! Currently running off my Aorus X3 Plus V4

    https://www.aorus.com/product-detail.php?p=571&t=59&t2=&t3=#pd_spec

    It has been a mostly wonderful machine and is the base I am going off for a new laptop, it got me hooked on Portability and that subtler gaming look. Many an afternoon has been spent in the office playing some games with no one the wiser.

    Total budget and country of purchase: Around 1000$ - there is wiggle room, if price to perfomance is good I can go higher Purchasing from Hong Kong or possibly the U.K.

    *Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. No preference for 2 in 1. Good battery is nice but not entirely necessary

    How important is weight and thinness to you?* Very, I move bases frequently. I am looking for a similar size\weight as my laptop mentioned above.

    Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows

    Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.* 14\15 inch 1080 Resolution and refresh rate to match hardware. I've seen some questionable pairings going around, 1050ti's with QHD screens? Ive had enough of scaling issues in games

    Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. GAAAAAAMMES and possibly video editing

    *If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?

    I play a wide range of games. Something above 60 FPS is ideal, maybe around the 90\100 area. I'm happy to tweak settings accordingly. I'm not adverse to getting an external monitor as not many laptops have that midrange 'better than 60hz but not balls to the wall 144hz' refresh rate.

    Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Reliable and solid build quality. Portability, thinness, Subtle gamer look. Ease of use.

    Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.

    8th gen i5 xxxxx h 1050ti (or above) Screen to match performance.

    ALTERNATIVELY

    A laptop with a good 8th gen processor in a sleek form factor paired with an EGPU later to spread out the price.

    Thanks for your recommendations!

    Does G.SKILL 3200MHz DDR4 SO-DIMM ram work on MSI GS65 Stealth Thin?

    Posted: 05 Jul 2018 02:55 AM PDT

    Hi,

    The laptop has 2666MHz ram support with the i7 8750h CPU, so I was wondering if 3200MHz frequency would work on the MSI GS65.

    I am not too knowledgeable on ram stuff, but I figured that since G.Skill does make that ram, then there would be laptops that can make use of it.

    Thoughts?

    Is the dell xps 15 worth for me?

    Posted: 04 Jul 2018 04:09 PM PDT

    Hi! so I need a new computer cause my old one exploded and I'm thinking about getting the Dell XPS 15. The one I'm looking at has a core i7, 256GB PCIe SSD, 16 gb ram, nvidia GTX 1050Ti with 4GB GDDR5, without touchscreen and it comes to around 1.8k cad without tax (which is kinda splurging for me). Currently in engineering so will probably be using the laptop to do development and i'll be carrying it to class as well. I will also be playing games on it but which ones is kinda tbd. currently only play league and fortnite but i want to expand the platforms i get bullied on. Will also use photoshop and flash occasionally.

    Is it worth it? And if not what are other suggestions ?

    Thank you thank you

    Machine Similar to a G3 15 (3579)

    Posted: 04 Jul 2018 10:19 PM PDT

    I recently bought a Dell G3 15 (3579) laptop for my girlfriend's birthday and I've been incredibly unimpressed by the performance. I've done tons of troubleshooting on the machine, completely reinstalled the OS using the base Windows 10 image, etc. and nothing seems to make any difference. I've gathered that the issue is probably the hybrid drive the machine is equipped with and Windows 10 not playing nicely with that particular piece of the spec. I think I'm going to return in in hopes of finding something with similar overall specs in a similar price range (around $700 - $800), but with an SSD. Does anybody have any ideas? It doesn't need to be a Dell, I'm open to other manufacturers. Here's a link to the spec of the 3579, for reference. Thank you!

    US $1000: Gaming Laptop For Girlfriend

    Posted: 04 Jul 2018 09:54 PM PDT

    As the title states, I am looking for a gaming laptop to give to my girlfriend. I tried offering to build her a desktop, as I could probably build a better gaming desktop for the money I'll be paying for this gaming laptop, but she wants to have portability as it will be used for college work as well.

    So here's what I'm looking for: - About a $1000 budget. Can be more, can be less. Prefer less.

    • Can game. I want her to be able to play what she wants, without worrying about if her computer can run the game. I know this is asking for a lot, but the most FPS I'm looking for is 60 at medium to high settings.

    Those are the only two things I am looking for with this laptop. Doesn't matter the brand, the look, or the seller. (Although I do prefer a reputable seller)

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? An example would be titanfall, and over 30fps.

    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? USB-C ports are a must for me. 8th gen intel cores are also a huge plus. Dedicated graphics preferred.

    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. Okay, here we go. More than a month ago I ordered a Huawei Matebook Pro X (the i7 version) from Microsoft, and after some massive headaches I learned that the earliest I can get it is after August the 8th. I was looking to get a laptop for the summer and my freshman year of college, and would still like to have a computer for the summer.

    So: Should I get the Huawei Matebook Pro X in a month (and go without for the time being), OR get a comparable but slightly worse (due to price restrictions and the Huawei's value) laptop right now (or something else entirely)?

    I will be watching Netflix, using microsoft office, and surfing the web/checking emails. I will also probably be using excel a lot given my major (not sure how computer intensive it is). I would like a computer that runs smoothly and has nice enough specs or build quality to last 4+ years. Also, a computer that can keep cool would be preferrable. Thank you for your time.

    CS Student looking for a good daily driver laptop(13-15.6, >2200 USD, US)

    Posted: 04 Jul 2018 11:29 PM PDT

    • Total budget and country of purchase: My total budget is under 2200

    • Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. I'd want to look for a thin laptop, if it is thicker for battery life. I'm really looking for battery life that has some power.

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? Thinner is preferred but not too id like it to be under 4.5 pounds. Its sorta important since its going to be a daily computer.

    • Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows

    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Id be okay with 13 - 15.6 inches

    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Some gaming Im not expecting the best in the world but some light games if it could run bigger games that would be great.

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? The only really games I can think of that I would like to play would be Rainbow Six Siege at 60 would be nice.

    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Good Keyboard would be nice since I would be typing quite a bit for classes.

    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I know it might be dumb to ask for a thin laptop that has good battery life, plays some games , and is thin but Ive been kinda lost. Gaming isn't the main focus its like , if it can do it that's just make it better. Some laptops I have been looking at are

    • Dell XPS 13 (9370)

    • Aero 14/15x

    • LG gram 13/15

    • MSI GS65

    • XPS 15 (9570)

    Lenovo Legion Y530 vs. Dell G5

    Posted: 04 Jul 2018 08:14 AM PDT

    Hi all,

    Looking for a light 15 inch laptop for a student for class and some moderate gaming. Don't need the top of the line graphics cards, so the 1050ti should be fine. Want a laptop that doesn't scream "gamer" to the world but whose performance is good with decent battery life. Important that it is not super loud or hot under load as well.

    These two seem good, and with comparable specs are both right around $1,000 on sale for the 4th.

    Which would you pick, and why? Or is there some other machine out there which is much better?

    Thanks!
