Solved! Recommend gaming laptop?

Solution
I’m looking to buy one in like May next year and I’ve been eyeing the 1070 variant of this unless something new comes out:

https://www.scan.co.uk/products/156-msi-gs65-stealth-thin-8re-011-144hz-fhd-i7-8750h-16gb-ddr4-256gb-nvme-ssd-6gb-gtx-1060-thunderbo?gclid=Cj0KCQiAgf3gBRDtARIsABgdL3l4FyG_aStDWw-itx2Wi10xms5kZ_Khf7n0_JDPUMbbvTEZ6NAfOLcaAhLaEALw_wcB


Comes with some nice freebies too atm, only issue is storage. Only 256GB for the cheaper model (512GB on the £1900 1070 model)


Or you could get this:

Similar specs but with a 1TB HDD too

Blades are stupid expensive plus they don’t have a great record for breaking. Not the best source but LTT bought a boatload for the staff and nearly all had to be RMA’d or needed to be inside 12 months.

Also I’m not too bothered about thickness personally as long as it’s manageable in weight terms.

You won’t be able to run a 4K screen with a 1060 well for gaming so unless you need it for some other reason you probably should go for the 120Hz one. Be better for gaming.
