Asus Gaming Laptops - output to another screen?

[~Divine~Wind~]

Currently looking at the followign laptops:

FX504GM-EN150T - i7 8750H 8GB 1060 6GB 256GB SSD/1TB Storage
FX504GM-EN151T - i5 8300H 8GB 1060 6GB 256GB SSD/1TB Storage

Leaning towards the i5 at the moment dunno if the extra 100 for the i7 would be of any benefit for just gaming.

The one thing I'd like to know is that if using another monitor as the main screen will I get the full usage of the GFX? I know it sounds like an odd question but a friend has a gaming laptop and he says that the HDMI out goes to the onboard card on his and not the GFX (diff laptop tho)

Also anyone got any experience with these laptops as I was wondering if they have a second RAM slot or if I'm gonna need to replace the stick with a larger one.

Cheers

Hey @Loki, cheers dude

Would you say that the i7 version is the best offering from Asus currently price versus spec?
100 quid difference in the models but I'll likely be holding onto it for a while

Is the standard warranty on these 2years?
Is there any space for an additional SSD/HDD?
Also can you confirm the type/model of RAM thats in these? Just so I can look at getting a matching stick.

And finally do Asus offer any sort of tradeup program?

Managed to nab the i7 for a price I couldn't really say no to.

Not a clue what's in the Intel. Gaming pack tho lol

@Loki Not a clue tbh it just says intel gaming pack lol, anything would be a bonus haha
I'm assuming it comes with the mouse and backpack, not specifically mentioned but its shown in the images

More than happy to provide some feedback, since the bairns ended up invading my PC room Ive not had a half decent machine lol
Still got my catleap 2b tho haha, the 1060 gonna be areet with an external output at 2560*1440 ?

@Loki if you get a chance to find out what ram is in these it be appreciated so I can get one ordered
