If your budget is a bit tight, you can weigh up what's more important: SSD performance vs capacity. Personally I would also pay the £19 for the 1-year dead pixel warranty, however I guess it depends on how much a dead pixel would bother you. Two no-brainers you should absolutely go for: the better thermal paste for £9 extra and the silver warranty for £5 more. If you have have a current machine with Windows, you could transfer the licence to this laptop, which will enable you to purchase without Windows and therefore save around £100.ĭon't select the free BullGuard Security trial - there are better free options available and its been known to cause issues for some users. It should be absolutely fine for gaming, however if you do any kind of work where you need your display to be colour accurate, this probably won't be it.Ī few other tips to add to Fevieira's post:

Speaking of the display, the Optimus Pro uses a 120Hz panel which I don't think will be the greatest out there.

The highest GPU you can pair with the Ryzen 7 is a RTX 2060, but that will be plenty if you're gaming on the 1080p display. I agree with Fevieira if you have the choice go with the Ryzen 7 4800H. For the SSD, you should try to check your storage needs and, similar to the RAM, go for the faster SSD that your budget supports (check read and write speeds on the configurator), but never less than 500Gb. 16Gb is enough in most cases and remember to have it in dual channel (2 chips with same size, so 16Gb = 2x 8Gb). Regarding the rest of the build, get the faster RAM available (higher frequencies), with a minimum of 16Gb and maximum depending on your kind of productivity work.

Can anyone confirm if this chassis has manual fan control? For the latter, you can use MSI Afterburner to undervolt it and get pretty good temperatures with a bit of FPS drop (not even noticeable most of the time). But all PCS laptops have a control center with different profiles and there is always going to be a "quiet" or "office" mode that will automatically tune your CPU down in order to keep it cooler and quieter, without changing the GPU. Regarding the noise, I actually don't know how this chassis would sound like. This same laptop gives you the option to chose an intel i7 10th-gen as well, so in case you really have a preference for intel, it's up to you there. I think I would go for an OPTIMUS PRO with an RTX 2060, but my preference would be for a Ryzen 7, especially if you're using it for work (not just gaming). So any suggestions for the following would be greatly appreciated: and to not toast my legs! Also I prefer to have established components which are known to be good and solid as opposed to the newest/fanciest but unknown durability. I prefer to have a quieter/cooler laptop, to the point I turn down graphics options to keep my temperatures to a more acceptable level.

As for CPUs, I am so out of touch with them I have very little idea! I used to go for i7s, but never seemed to use them to their full potential, so always wondered if i5s would be more appropriate, but as I said, my knowledge in this area is limited and outdated. I'm partial to Intel CPUs and NVidia GPUs, I usually aim for the upper-mid GPU cards (e.g. CoD, Battlefield, Assassin's Creed) as I play those on console. I wouldn't ever expect to play any recent FPS style games (e.g. My past year's worth of PC games are Factorio, Cities Skylines, Grim Dawn, Stellaris, Civ 6, Divinity Original Sin 2. As for the games I play they are generally more CPU than GPU hungry, but I would like the option to play some more graphically intensive games if I want. I would be using the laptop for work (pretty standard level software development) and for gaming. I'm in the market for a new moderate/good gaming/work laptop with a budget of around £1000 to £1200 and would like some experienced suggestions please!
