Hi, I am looking to buy a laptop but I'm having a hard time between choosing Asus TUF gaming FX505 and Dell G7.
I would like to choose the FX505 with i7-8750h variant but I am on a budget constraint that's why I can only afford the i5 variant which is the same price with Dell G7. Should I choose Dell G7 regardless of the max q design or the FX505 with i5 but full-sized Gtx 1060?
 
Solution
The i5 is more than enough for gaming and most usage. Unless you have work or tasks that demand the 6 core processor, I think the i5 is the better buy here with the more powerful GPU.
