Hi, I've been researching some mid to high end gaming laptops for hours now.
FIrst of all, I'm looking for
gtx 1060 (if possible not max-q)
i7-7 or 8k series doesn't matter
Storage tolerable since I can just upgrade it myself.
Monitor 120/144hz preferably
Budget $1.7k max
Prefer Light/medium weight and size.
Good cooling

The list I found:
MSI GE63

ASUS ROG GU501GM

ASUS GL504GM
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16834235011

Acer Predator Helios 300 that everyone knows about.

My top choice is MSI GE63 atm, because it's only $1.6k atm with i7 8750H, 1060, 128 SSD + 1 TB HDD, 120hz 3ms monitor. I tried searching a bit about MSI GS65, it's nice but the storage tho and Price is 1.8k-2k range for 1060 with 256gb storage. Second problem is that I'm worried about the temperature, Heard it gets hot quick. I think my biggest problem is not the spec, but the quality of the laptop. Like Acer Predator Helios 300 is the best price value spec wise, but idk about the quality. Any laptop recommendations better than I listed?

Oh wow, the spec is indeed so much better for the price. Might research more into it for the quality.
