Hey Guys

So my Laptop officially died after 8years and whilst I still have a desktop (Q4 2011: 5 Years Old) I'm looking to upgrade my laptop as im waiting on Kaby Lake before I do the same for my Desktop.

Here are the two laptops im looking at

HP Omen 15-AX007TX 15" Laptop

OR

Acer Predator G9-591-72LV Core i7 Windows 10 Gaming Notebook

Thoughts? There pretty much Identical except the Acer has a 970M 3GB v 960M 4GB, Im assuming with most games pre-Q3 2016 (Before BF1) wouldnt utilise more than 3GB @ 1080P (Im looking for High - Ultra).

Just need some advice on which would be better to buy im using it for the following

Gaming: Arma3, CSGO, The Witcher 3, SW: Battlefront, Total War Series
Music Production: FL Studio, Ableton
Photoshop
University Work


Thoughts?
