Is this laptop good?

[Ddri89]

Hello there i searched for some laptops and i came across this one.
But i dont know if this is good or not.
I will mainly use it for video editing, the programs i will use are adobe after effects and adobe premiere pro cc.

It is a 15,6 inch asus rog strix
Intel i7-7700hq
8 gb ram
Nvidia geforce gtx 1050 2gb
1 tb 5400 rpm + 256 ssd

If anyone has a better laptop in thoughts please tell me.

my budget is 1300 dollars

Yeah, it should be fine for what you want to do. If I am not mistaken, Adobe programs can make use of nVidia's CUDA cores. You may want to install a 8GB DDR4 RAM stick to increase the RAM to 16GB... at least that is what I would do.

Are there any laptops you reccomend?

Not really off the top of my head since I typically do not look at laptops above $1,000 that often.

I would recommend the ASUS ROG Strix GL553VE which is basically the same laptop but with the more powerful GTX 1050 Ti for $1,147.

There are low end laptops with a GTX 1060 within your range like the Acer Predator Helios 300 and ASUS FX502VM-AS73. But they have pretty dim screens and not very good speakers. The Acer runs hotter than your average laptop with a Core i7 and GTX 1060. All these laptops have pretty short battery life with normal usage of only around 3.5 hours.

I would actually recommend you consider the Dell Inspiron 15 7657 with the i7-7700HQ and GTX 1050 Ti for $999. I highly recommend you configure it with the IPS panel for $50 more. The laptop is a bit heavy at 5.76lbs, but that is because it has a 74WHr battery. Based on reviews battery life is roughly 7 to 8 hours with average daily usage (no games).

Here's a review for the i5-7300HQ version with the GTX 1050 Ti. It has a TN panel, Dell did not decide to offer an optional IPS panel screen until a few months after the review was uploaded to Youtube (due to a lot of complaints about the TN panel).
