Buying new laptop, need suggestions :D
I am looking to purchase a new laptop. I was originally looking at models with an i7-4720hq, But the cheap ones (750-900$) weren't really up to my standards. Then I came into more money, and I looked at some of the higher end models (1100-1250$). Little bit better, but most of them still come with a gtx 960m or 965m, and now I figure if I can get a i7-6700hq/gtx 1060 6 GB model for another ~200$ (1350-1500$), why the hell would I even look at an older model :P My concern though is finding a model with halfway decent cooling. I have sort of looked for reviews on certain models but the information out there atm is slim. Here are a few I looked at so far.
GIGABYTE 17.3 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 16 GB Memory 256 GB SSD 1 TB HDD Windows 10 Home 64-Bit Gaming Laptop - Newegg.com
GIGABYTE 15.6 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 16 GB Memory 256 GB SSD 1 TB HDD Windows 10 Home 64-Bit Gaming Laptop - Newegg.com
ASUS 17.3 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 16 GB Memory 1 TB HDD Windows 10 Home 64-Bit Gaming Laptop - Newegg.com
ASUS ROG STRIX 15.6 G-sync GL502VM-DB71 Intel Core i7-6700HQ, NVIDIA GTX 1060 6 GB, 16 GB Memory, 1 TB HDD, Windows 10 Gaming Laptop VR Ready-Newegg.com
So far from what I have read those ASUS models have horrid cooling, and if I could get a 17.3 inch for the price of the 15.6 inch i'd go with the big one :P But I would love feedback on these and other models also Probably going to make the purchase on black friday, see if I can save a few more dollars that way!
