Is this laptop good to handle some gaming and video editing

[Filip9]

I recently asked if i should get more expensive laptop or desktop+laptop for same price but since stores in my country didn't have some things or they are not on sale anymore, i choose to go with laptop.
I found this one - http://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-GL752VW-Notebook-Review.161334.0.html
It is around 1350 euros in my country, which is great since my budget is 1500 max, i will even save for bag+cooling pad. But I just want someone more experienced to say if it is good to handle game like Witcher 3 on max/medium settings with decent FPS, and how good it would perform in programs like Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop etc.

Where do you live? Because a laptop + dekstop combo is always better. Will you be taking your laptop with you a lot or is it more like a desktop replacement that will be moved sometimes? It's not the best laptop for the money but depending on where you live I might be able to recommend you some good deals.

If you can then wait for a few months. Then the mobile versions of the Pascal chips should be out and you will likely get better bang for your Euro. A 960m isn't great. With a 970m you get some decent performance so hopefully the 1060m will have at least the 970m's performance and be a bit cheaper.

In the 2nd half of this year the external GPUs that can be plugged into laptops via Thunderbolt 3 connectors will be coming. Those should give you the flexibility of a laptop which you can carry around with the equivalent of a 950m or something in (so cheaper) and when you get home you plug in a discrete desktop GPU and get essentially the power of a desktop.

Here is a video of the witcher 3 on high settings with a 960m. Consistantly below 30fps and probably much worse in town and when in action.

I m from Serbia, not many online stores ship for free, and if i pay shiping+import tax price is same like i bought here, or even higher, i switch between 2 places that is why i need 1 laptop, but problem i found is that there isn't good offer for laptop around 400-500e so i can spend 1000-1100 on desktop. I will probably wait until next nvidia series come like Tollman suggested.

Thanks for help, now i will probably wait for new 1060m to come out and get it, or maybe if i save more money i might even go for 1070m/1080m.

Thats a good idea I myself have bought a laptop for 1300 euro's with a gtx 970m in it. It is a self assembled laptop that i got form clevo/sager (same brand different names). They deliver really good price/performance maybe there is a store in you country that sells them. And as stated before a gtx 960m isn't that great a gtx 970m really is the bottom of the barrel if it comes to having a good experience on a laptop with games.

Well that is problem, any of those custom laptops(msi, clevo, alienware etc.) don't ship to serbia or shiping is hell expensive, and combined with import tax(20% of price+50 euroes for some papers) laptop which cost 1300 euros would cost me 1700 or more

Why not a 1070/480 desktop build/144hz G-sync/FreeSync monitor combo to tear through games, a refurbished laptop such as a 3rd Gen i5 with SSD for on the go power and speed.

As i said, i didn't find parts in store and i couldn't find laptop with i5+SSD bellow 500euros, my parts all together cost around 1000euros, but since 2 were on sale at that time now it would be 1050euros, but since i will wait for new nvidia i guess i will reconsider going with desktop+laptop if store offer changes.

I doubt that laptops with pascal architecture reach any soon or any cheap to your country, in case you're eager like me haha

Well i m not in hurry, my current PC can handle my requirements but I will need something by the end of the year or start of 2017, i think that by that time they will either have few new offers.

Oh yeah, I though we needed the pc like this month or so, you're better off waiting then.
