Help with Laptop Buying

[smellyfenris]

Hey all, I’m planning on buying a gaming laptop and for school purposes and am leaning towards the MSI GS65 8RF but here in Singapore.It’s 4K and has only 1 store that sells it. https/www.lazada.sg/products/8th-gen-msi-gs65-stealth-8rf-thin-8th-gen-gtx1070-512gb-ssd-156-with-144hz-gaming-laptop-i225177306-s343018115.html?spm=a2o42.searchlistcategory.list.44.fa493b47xvLkZc&search=1
I looked it up on Amazon and the one sold by MSI said it was out of stock and doesn’t ship to Singapore https/www.amazon.com/MSI-GS65-Stealth-THIN-054-i7-8750H/dp/B07BBJKCYG/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1524212792&sr=1-2&keywords=MSI+GS65
I then found another one on Amazon sold by Excalibur https/www.amazon.com/dp/B07CC96ZST/ref=twister_B07C4TBHSP?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 The description said it would have stock on 11th May and I need to get it by 11th May.So I was wondering if u guys could help out with helping me find a store that ships to Singapore by 11th May and isn’t too expensive that sells MSI GS65 8RF but if no stores can be found could you guys also help me out picking a MAX Q Laptop preferably gtx 1070 below 3k SGD.
Thanks in advance -SmellyFenris
( Sorry for the Long Description)

Hello fellow Singaporean

Have you checked out Aftershock? They have some decent options.

Lazada is having a sale on the 24th to 28th(?) or so, check the price then, it may have dropped.

Carousell also have reputed sellers who get it directly from the factories at much cheaper costs. Be wary tho.

Aftershock:
https/www.aftershockpc.com/welcome/Productinner/w15-lite - Desktop CPU. With the 8400, 16 gigs of RAM, 1060 6 GB, 250 GB SSD, 1 TB HDD and 120 Hz display it comes to $2198.

https/www.aftershockpc.com/welcome/ProductconfigRec/prime15 - This is the best I found. If you customize the $2250 version, add the GTX 1070 MAX Q GPU, the 144 HZ Display, 16 gigs of 2666Mhz RAM at 8GB x 2 and a 1TB SEAGATE FIRECUDA Solid-state Hybrid Drive, you come to $2933. It has all you asked for Aftershock is really good.

https/www.aftershockpc.com/welcome/ProductconfigBaseic/s15-new-1 - Another really good option. By default it is the GTX 1070, add 16GB DDR4 2666 MHZ (8GB x 2), a 240 GB M.2 SSD at only $60 extra, and the Windows OS, you come to $2878, cheaper than above.

From Amazon (All of these are eligible for shipping to Singapore):
https/www.amazon.com/Razer-Blade-Light-Gaming-Laptop/dp/B06W5J5NX4/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1524404888&sr=1-5&keywords=Gaming+Laptop&refinements=p_36%3A200000-228000%2Cp_n_shipping_option-bin%3A3242350011 - 1060 6 GB, but built by Razer and pretty thin, so good for School as well. Will come by 27th April.

https/www.amazon.com/Zephyrus-GM501GS-XS74-IPS-Type-i7-8750H-FireCuda/dp/B07BSKLV3K/ref=sr_1_7?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1524404888&sr=1-7&keywords=Gaming+Laptop&refinements=p_36%3A200000-228000%2Cp_n_shipping_option-bin%3A3242350011 - Same price, but with 1070 and quite thin but very wide. 144 Hz IPS display with G Synce. Ships within 3 to 5 weeks.

Thanks man,I really appreciate it.I’d probably wait until the sale but if the Aftershock ones are good I might buy them.
