Hey everyone
I apologise if this is not the correct forum, I couldn't see a more relevant one but feel free to move it if there is one and I missed it.
I am looking to buy a laptop in the UK that obviously is as good a price as possible.
I was thinking along the lines of one of these types:
1) A 100+Hz TN/VA decent monitor with a 1060 and strongish CPU, plus at least a 120GB SSD + HDD, and decent temps.
Or
2) A good IPS 60Hz monitor but with a weaker GPU (1050ti?) that has a better CPU for multi threaded workloads, plus again good SSD+HDD storage.
16GB of ram in both would be ideal but I would settle for 8 if the price is more manageable.
I don't see the point in some really nice laptops with 1060's and i5's that come with a IPS 60Hz monitor. Seems like a waste of the 1060. But for some reason they seem to be more common than either of the types I describe.
My problem is that there are so many with so many configs, and I have no idea which have the best build quality or thermals.
I like the look of Razer's but not only have I seen that you may have to undervolt (which I don't want to have to do as stock) but the price seems pretty poor for performance.
The reason I specify the UK is that a lot of good options and configs in the US just don't seem to be available here. So if anyone is clued up on the topic that would be great.
Much appreciated.
