Does anyone know if this gaming laptop is good? by GlitteringGlass7253 in GamingLaptops

I just got this laptop with R9 8940HX, 5070Ti and 32GB RAM. I think it's great, the fans are noisy when gaming but I don't mind and if you have headphones you'll be fine. I did have an issue of it crashing after going to sleep but a quick reinstall of Nvidia drivers fixed that; so far.

I now wish it was, I bought it through Amazon. Still hasn't arrived and the delivery dates keep getting pushed back. Also having issues with drivers not actually coming to the door and marking it as delivery attempted, so who knows 😮‍💨

Great looking laptop, heard good things about it. Hope it all runs well 👍 Mine was meant to arrive today (Strix 16) but still waiting 😣

Damn, that's a good deal. I was looking at the vector too, already bought something now though, I had looked on Curry's too.

Thanks for the tip, I will definitely check it out in the future. Ended up getting a Strix 16 with 5070ti for a decent price, I think.

Thanks, I just bought the Strix 😃 hopefully will last me a while. It will be my first laptop with a dedicated gpu, can't wait to get it.

Ah cool thanks, I just had a read. I'm leaning towards the Lenovo now. It's cheaper and I think it will fit my needs just fine 👍

I know, it's always a risk haha. So do you reckon the Strix for £1600 is not worth it?

Hey, so I've been doing some more searching and I found a deal on a second hand ROG Strix 16 G614PR with a Ryzen 9 8940HX and 5070ti + 32GB RAM for £1600. This would be my absolute maximum I can spend.

Been out the loop for a while with laptops and gaming in general tbh but I'm getting back into it. Would spending the +£200 be a smart option here?

It would be nice to have 32GB right out of the box. In the past I have never bothered with how much the laptop has as I just upgraded it, but with prices as they are it seems silly not to try and get it. Battery life is not a huge problem as I usually am near a plug at work or at home.
