Asus gl702vm VS GL502vs

[Fiveoh4]

Hi i wanted to get someones opinion on wheather i should get the Asus GL702vm http/www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-17-3-laptop-intel-core-i7-12gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1060-1tb-hard-drive-128gb-solid-state-drive-black-anodized-aluminum/5580042.p?skuId=5580042 OR Asus GL502vs https/www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01K1INYD0/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8

I will be using it for mainly at home hooked to my 24" Asus monitor for 144hz. I also will be using it on the go sometimes. I dont care about the screen size, but im wondering if the 1070 is worth getting over the 1060.

Look at the performance difference between the GTX 1060 and GTX 1070 in the following link to Notebookcheck.net. Depending on the game the performance difference can range from a 20% to 55% difference.

Either way I recommend you order the laptop you want from Newegg instead of from Amazon or walking into Best Buy so that you do not need to pay taxes... Unless you live in CA where Newegg has it's headquaters. Or NJ / TN where Newegg has warehouses.

Based on a NYC tax rate of 8.875%....

Purchasing the 15.6" Asus GL502 from Amazon will cost $1,739 after tax.

Purchasing the 17.3" Ausus GL702 from Best Buy will cost $1,523 after tax.
