Hey all.

Looking to see if someone can help me. I've narrowed my laptops down to 2 and I cant for the life of me decide which one to get. It's either an Alienware M15, or a HP Omen 15. The specs of both are:

M15
I7 8750
Rtx 2070
16gb ram

AW

Hp omen
I7 9750
Rtx 2070
16gb ram

I know thermals etc mean a lot but which would be the best buy? Thanks!!

My hp omen 15 with a 1070 runs real hot. Barely want it on my lap on days like this as you can feel it through the chassis. I don't know if that helps but if you plan on using it on your lap it may be something worth considering. Performs quite well but you cannot set your own custom fan profiles either. You have to use 1 of the 3 presets from omen command centre app.

I would have it on my lap every now and then, travelling a lot soon so will be all over the place. I know most laptops probably run quite hot these days regardless of design, but I presume the AW will probably be a better buy? More future proof?

I don't know enough about the Alienware so I can't really help on that. I'd suggest have a look at a bunch of YouTube reviews and notebook check to see if it's something you'd want.

I'm in a similar situation now where travelling for work might become a bit more prevalent for me and I'm thinking razer blade or gigabyte aero 15 (oled models though). Probably aero 15 as the 2070 model is cheaper than razer blade's only OLED model.

Had a look at videos for both and it's not helped at all. Both seem good the HP has better specs but worse cooling and is a little chunkier. a 240hz screen seems massively overkill also for the games i want to play. To me it's like buying a car, which one will hold its value best in 4 years when i replace it and which one should give me less problems in this time period
