Which laptop should I buy?

[mich-194]

I'm contemplating buying the "GL65 Leopard 10SFSK" with the GTX2070 Super versus a PB71RF cleto model with the following specs:

17 S FHD 144Hz Gsync N7
RTX 2070/i9-9980HK
TPWFP/TB (2400MHz),
Intel 760p 1TB
2TB (ST2000LM015)
Intel Wireless-AC 9560

Now, I'm not familiar with cleto based laptops and how well the specs sync together nor possible overheating problems that might occur. What would you guys recommend going for? I also wonder if the i9-9980HK makes a significant difference versus the i7-10750H in terms of performance and temperatures. The major difference seems to be the GTX2070 versus the GTX2070 super however I'm not sure if the other specs compensate enough for that. The pricepoint is the same, what do you guys recommend?

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

The link for the 2nd laptop doesn't work for me, unfortunately. If the specs for the 2nd laptop is as stated above, then I'd side with the MSI unit. Do they both cost the same? What about warranty? If they are identical in price and warranty, you should aim for the MSI since it's a generation later in terms of processor/tech. The rest look to be the same but you're sure the MSI also has the 144Hz panel? There are 2 variants from MSI, one with 120Hz panel and a 144Hz panel.

Hi, thank you!

Yes, they both cost the same and have about a similar duration on warranty. It's the variant with the 144HZ monitor.

As for the other laptop, the i-9 scores better on the bench https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compa...HK-vs-Intel-Core-i7-10750H/m1065893vsm1053158
and has a 1TB SSD. I guess you could say it is similar to this laptop https://www.notebookcheck.net/Eurocom-Nightsky-RX17-Clevo-PB71RF-Laptop-Review.426428.0.html except it has a GTX2070, not the mobile variant.
