Advice needed. Buying new laptop

MikeZZZ · 10 Jan 2022 at 14:25

Hi,
I'm planning to buy new laptop (kind of gaming) laptop). Price around £1000-£1300.
I always had 17inch laptops so would be nice to have the same screen but not must have.
I have found these:
1.

2.

3.

4.
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/leno...-intel-i7-11600h-gaming-laptop-lt-02j-lv.html

Which one would the be the best ...

Can you please let me know if I will be able to add second disc : HDD or SSD - 1TB?
For users having screen 15.6. Would you recommend that screen size for gaming
Should I go with 17,3 as before.
What do you think about Lenovo brand.
What do you recommend?
Many thanks
Mike

Lenovo make great laptops so you have to decide between a shorter screen with a better gpu or larger screen with a less powerful gpu.

Legion 5 does have another m2 slot for upgrades but best to check.

Need to remove the link to competitors its against the forum rules. Tx

FHD is 1080p resoloution
QHD is 1440p resoloution

The higher the resolution the more powerful the gpu needs to be but it's usually always best to get the strongest gpu you can afford.

Have you tried a 15.6 inch laptop ?

Hi,
never tried 15.6 inch laptop... but i can see many people buying 15.6 just for gaming ....

I was using Auto Cad before so always went for 17 inch,
I dont know how small screen can be (15.6) when browsing, playing games etc, Will that be comfortable ?

thanks

That's something you should try before you buy if your going with a smaller screen though I'm sure you would get use to it.
