Hello everyone,
So I am currently about to take the plunge and get myself a nice gaming laptop, but I have sort of hit a wall as to which way I should go.
I have found 2 laptops with very similar specs at wildly different prices, and am hoping for someone who is more knowledgeable to point me in the right direction.
I am going to be purchasing an rtx 2080 with intel i9-9900k (this being the primary costs, so the rest of the specs I'll omit).
At GenTech pc, I can build this rig for around $3,000 in the following chasis:
https/www.gentechpc.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=Sager-NP9176-G3
However when I look at websites like MSI/ASUS/ALIENWARE, the cost is extreme for nearly the same rig, I'm talking $4,000+.
So the question is, does the Sager/Clevo laptop have crap cooling? Poor reliability? Or some other factor I am not considering? Or do these other brands charge for name recognition? Please, if anyone can help me I would be greatly appreciative.
