We tested gaming laptops with a series of real-world and synthetic benchmarks to measure battery, cooling, CPU, display, GPU, storage, and overall system performance.
The Dell highlighted is the $3599.99 model (with the GTX1080, i9, and 32gbs Ram). The price quoted is for the base model, with bog standard components.
What's the recommendation for a laptop with 17" inch screen, 1080p ips g-sync 60hz+, gtx 1070, and i7 8th gen? I prefer FHD since it's possible for higher refresh rates than 60hz. QHD is ok but looks bad if you have to scale something down to 1080p. 4K is more than even a gtx 1080 can handle, is limited to 60hz but I guess it scales down perfectly to 1080p.
The acer predator helios 500 seems to fit the bill, but it's not on this list.
Also not listed is IMHO the best thin gaming laptop option:
ASUS ROG Zephyrus M Ultra Slim Gaming Laptop
15.6” IPS 144Hz G-Sync FHD Display
Intel i7-8750H
GeForce GTX 1070 (not the crappy Max Q version)
16GB DDR4
256 NVMe SSD (OS)
1TB FireCuda (Storage)
MSRP $2199 (got mine for $1760 open-box on Amazon)
NOTE: Asus released the newer "S" version which has a lower MSRP of $1999, but comes with a slower/weaker 1070 "Max Q" GPU, and doesn't come with the capability for a 2.5 inch drive bay. Also, there are a lot of complaints about the new hinge design which allows for a thinner display bezel at the expense of not being able to tilt the display back further.
I need to purchase a touch screen laptop. 15 inch, 16-32 gb ram, 6 -8 Gb dedicated Graphic card, backlit keyboard. Any recommendations? Use will be for REVIT, AutoCad, etc.
