Hello guys, wondering if you could help me please, I previously posted regarding my choice on 2 laptops, though I've found another 2 possible solutions that I'm really stuck with. I'll list the specs for both laptops and wondering if you could help me choose please. The purpose of the laptop will be gaming and nothing more apart from compressing videos of gameplay.
Laptop A
17.3" Octane III
1920 X 1080 ips screen + Gsync
Intel core i5-6600k desktop cpu
Nvidia geforce GTX 980 Desktop
16gb DDR4 hyperX ram 2133mhz
2tb HDD 5400rpm
1 x 330 watt power supply
128gb samsung sm951 m.2 SSD
£1618
Or I've got laptop B
17.3" Defiance III
1920 x 1080 ips screen NO G-sync
intel core i7-6700hq
Nvidia geforce GTX 1070
16gb DDR4 hyperX ram 2133mhz
1 tb WD black HDD 7200rpm x 2
128gb samsung sm951 m.2 SSD
230 watt power supply
£1656
Now looking at both laptops, laptop A offers much better cooling as it is a bigger unit in general as can be seen just by googling, can't name website due to no competitors. Laptop A has the weaker gpu, but the 6600k has quite the advantage on single core performance and can be overclocked and G-sync, Laptop B has the GTX 1070 but in general will run much hotter, will the i7-6700hq beat the i5? bearing in mind I'm intending to keep this laptop for at least 4 years. so will the HT on the i7 beenfit me in the future?
with laptop A I can get a 1070 for £1847 which is just short of £200 extra for a much better laptop imo or will the desktop 980 suffice? cheers
