New Laptop

[Free]

So Free, when are you looking to buy? imminent or you do have saving to do?

Soonish, probably gonna buy in a couple of weeks. That is if I don't lose permission for some essential item or something

Quite a few 20x0 laptops about now, and some of the 10x0 seem to be getting discounted more /more often. No 1660 yet but looks like a decent time to either get the new tech or grab a discounted slightly older tech

I might be interested in a sneaky wee 1080 laptop. Any specific links?

I found this https://www.amazon.de/Zephyrus-GX501VI-GZ020T-i7-7700HQ-GeForce-schwarz/dp/B073BC2R5Y/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1550582897&sr=8-3&keywords=GTX+1080m

Pretty machine.

Weird RAM config to have 24GB... must be 1x 16 and 1x 8. Not that this is a problem.

Decent spec. i7, 1080, 512 SSD, 120Hz screen. They're still a bit pricey IMO, but that's laptops I suppose!

So, I may be starting to look at laptops again seriously (famous last words...)

The 1660 ti laptops seem to get pretty good results for a good bit less layout - from some places it seems they beat 2060 (non-max-q) and also 2070-max-q ... but cost less than either ... what am I missing?! I've been advised to look for a 9th gen intel cpu (hardware fix for that bug?)

As far as chassis go the gigabyte aero 15 and razer blade 15 both look pretty slick though the 1660ti doesn't seem to pair up with the 9750 cpu yet so just the more expensive 2070 max-q cards. Then there's things like the Aorus 15" and the bigger 17" Aorus which are a little cheaper with more drives etc...

Anyone else been following updates in this sector? :flirty:
