I literally said laptop. And to answer captain's first question. FPS, he wants to use it for school and gaming, as I said those 2 games he wants to run at pretty good FPS, at least 60 FPS each.

I know you cannot build a custom gaming laptop. Obviously, that's why I was replying to the guy about it. Does he really want a laptop though? There's a really good prebuilt asus tower(without a monitor) for 800$ish. It has a gtx 1060 in it, and some other neat things.

(over $1400) Plus shipping is probably $50 at least. Plus it doesn't have that currency change option. You've said 3 stupid things on my thread, no offence fluffy but please refrain from commenting.

S T E W Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 https://www.newegg.com/global/au/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834154620&ignorebbr=1 Here is one of the cheapest options that includes a 1060. I believe after shipping it will total 1463 AUD. If he really can't come up with an extra 40-60$ from either parent, then a 1050ti will be the only option.

After shipping STEW, that one on newegg is $1463.72 or 1464$ with 2-3 day delivery (pretty good lmao) My friend was looking at a better laptop then the one i originally linked, that has a 1060 and 16gb of ram instead of 8, just no HDD but he doesnt mind having an external one. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y4GZS9C?th=1 after shipping its $1619.

Thoughts between the two? (One stew linked and this one)? The Acer has a 6gb 1060, which is about 10% faster and has more VRAM, which can be important in some games especially if you try to push ultra textures. Both have 16gb of ram. The Acer is over a pound heavier. I'd recommend looking up reviews of both and seeing if either have any quirks/issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts between the two? (One stew linked and this one)? Yeah, But I didn't catch that it was a 3gb 1060. Though it's still one of the cheaper options. If your friend can go up to 1619 AUD after shipping, that puts a couple more options on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have him check this one out.. https://www.newegg.com/global/au/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834154702 ~Has a 512GB m.2 SSD, so performance of the ssd will be better.

I'll give him these 3 (his amazon, ur 2 neweggs) and let him decide Honestly this last newegg one I linked is the one I would go with, looking at sheer specs. It's the best bang for the buck. MSI is a reputable company, and I trust in them only second to the trust I put behind ASUS. Unfortunately no ASUS options existed in the price range. I hope he's happy with whatever he picks, though I would advise him to pick one with a 6gb 1060, so he doesn't regret spending that much money only to find out in 2-3 years that he could have avoided another purchase if he'd had shelled out the extra 60$-100$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
