Which Laptop dou you recommend me for around $1200?

[elgiov]

Sup guys, I was just looking for some advice, on which Laptop should I buy. I saw some reviews in general, but I can't decide.
The price range is from $800~$1200.
Please give me your opinions!
Maybe I should wait for a new release or something? Please tell me!
Thank you!

Quick edit: I will use it for programming, video editing and moderate gaming.
I have something like this in mind.

For 1200 you wont get much, Sadly, And the laptop you picked is not going to play games well the 960m is really the lowest end card you want to even think about getting.

So which one do you recommend me? I don't mind if it surpasses $1200.

Screen size? do you care if its 1080p? What storage do you absolutely need?

from 13" to 16" is good. 1080p is for sure good, do you say that there is no such difference between 720p? I would like it to have both SSD and HDD, what do you think?

 

[Purpletalon55]

1080p is good for gaming no reason to go past it. As to the harddrive configuration a SSD + Harddrive is the best option.

You are better off getting a 970m even tbh, those are 2 solid picks just make sure you add the 7200rpm drive and the ssd to the gigabyte, and go ahead and get the ic diamond thermal paste. Should play most games you want at good fps in 1080p or even 720p. Also should be fast enough to fly through programming and video editing, as long as you make sure to get 16gb ram, as programming and video editing can use a lot of ram.

Thank you for your answer. I'll go with gigabyte one. But when in the option of adding an SSD it says something about FREE Upgrade, is it free, or I have to select the ones that say an $ ammount?

 

[Purpletalon55]

Get 256gb ssd, go with the ice diamond paste, and get the os recovery media. And make sure you get 16gb ram and your good. The rest is up to you. Also go ahead and check the free headset they are offering, we'll because its free and it's got good reviews. You never have enough headsets, I've killed 4 or 5 from various mishaps.

What do you think about MSI ones?

 

[Purpletalon55]

Limited upgrade support msi has nasty habit of banning upgrades till warranty expires.

Plus they have pretty bad fan configurations. I would honestly have to recommend the gigabyte. It's your decision. Buthe I have had a bad experience with fan failure in a msi laptop. Cooked itself.

I will surely go with the Gigabyte, just wanted to know a bit about the competence. Also, do you think the price will mantain the same or will it increase in the next month? (Talking about the Gigabyte)

Probably the same, idk laptops bounce around a lot in price. I wouldnt wait long if you want that price as they did tell me it was on sale.
