so how would this compare to a gaming desktop? Ive never really thought of buying a laptop for gaming or editing (photo/video) but prices seem pretty close to a mid range gaming desktop now.
Specs seem comparable but are there any bottlenecks in a laptop that i'd need to worry about? The 5400 HD worries me a bit but other than that this seems decent.
Any help would be... helpful. Thanks
- Excellent features for the price.
- Excellent Performance
Cons:
- Battery life is pretty bad. If you wish to use it with power, it is OK. Doesn't last long on otherwise. For my usage, it lasts between 40 mins - 80 mins.
- Heating - With the powerful CPU and GPU, the heat generation is also high.
- A bit loud: With the all the fans to dissipate the heat, it could get a bit loud.
If you want a laptop with high specs with some portability or want something that is compact, go for it. If you are only looking for gaming, I would invest on a desktop.
Not as fast as it should be.
Screen could be brighter
Keyboard layout is funky, and the number pad is shrunken
The SD reader is RIDICULOUSLY slow, like 28 MB/s with a 1667x card
Pretty nice screen image
Speakers are decently loud
The RGB keyboard is pretty cool
The fans are not super loud unless you are in gaming mode
Somewhat light for a 17" notebook

The major difference is that this laptop is a higher tier rather than a budget unit... which is why the MSRP was higher to start with ($1749). Some things you won't find on the cheap 2060 models:
1) 17.3" premium display, >300nits, 3ms response, high contrast, good color accuracy.
2) 16GB ram, 512GB SSD, and a 1TB mech drive.
3) MaxP 2060
4) Premium audio, quad speakers with a subwoofer.
5) Multicolor backlit keyboard.
