Recommendations for a gaming laptop

[Crazycrab]

I figured it was a little more economical to make a post here rather than start another topic.  I'm thinking of getting a new gaming laptop myself.  Gaming performance is king, so I'm thinking RTX 3070 or better.  I wanna use it for some music stuff too so 15.6' would be preferable to a 17' to keep it more portable for my gig bag.  Quality of the screen/speakers are not a big priority since I'll likely be using it with external speakers and monitor most of the time anyway.

It turns out I could be a little more ambitious.  I've found a refurbished Acer Predator Triton 300 with an i7 and a RTX 3080 for less than £1400.  The same model on Amazon is nearly £1000 more so I think it's pretty good deal.

 

I think I'll sleep on it before I make my mind up.

Hello again tabulation and text options on a PC web browser, oh how I've missed you!

Weil it has a arrived!  I still can't believe I got a gaming laptop with an RTX 3080 and a 8 core 16 thread I7 for this price. Haven't gamed on it yet but I'm safely assuming it's beast!  Most gaming laptops aren't very subtle and tend to be be kind of bulky and plastic.  This all Aluminium and less than 20mm thick with such a clean executive aesthetic.  If it weren't for the Predator logo on top you wouldn't even know this was a gaming focused machine.

 

 

 

Here are the basic stats:

 

• CPU:        Intel I7 11800H 8 Core 16 Thread 2.3Ghz base 4.6Ghz Boost.
• GPU:        Nvidia RTX 3080 Mobile.
• RAM:        16Gb @ 3200Mhz (may upgrade to 32Gb, I'll see how it goes.
• Storage:  1Tb SSD (not certain if its Nvme, may ad more here).
• Screen:    1440 x 2160 IPS @ 165Hz.

 

I'm so glad to be able to play on PC again.

This looks good, but since you stated that it's refurbished do think it would function as good as the original version.

Well , I would like to know how well it functions after you must have tested it out different games.

And the processing system and specifications is really great as well.

Your laptop looks sleek and I like the specs as well , the ASUS TUF Gaming FX505DV was recommended to me but I am still looking for more better options if there are any.
