Hello everyone! As the topic says I am looking to buy a laptop for gaming and general use. I have a decent gaming desktop but am currently living abroad and using an Acer Aspire 5820TG which has served me well but is having difficulty keeping up. Hence the desire to upgrade.
When I've looked around so far the Auros X5 or the Origin EON 15X have stood out. I would probably get the latter, if it wasn't for the fact that shipping is prohibitively expensive (also I've never had an Origin, and any support would probably rack up further shipping charges).
Filled out form from the sticky in spoiler below. Appreciate any tips/thoughts/suggestions. Thank you!
