Hey everyone, just a quick post as I'm looking at purchasing before going overseas. I'm a visual effects artist so the main points of what i'm looking for is a good GPU with a reasonable amount of VRAM (4gb is a bit low, 6 preferential) and good processor.
I'm looking at reasonably powerful laptops and hence somewhat settled on the OzBargain deal Lenovo y7000 i7-9750h 2.6ghz - 4.5ghz 6c 12threads, 16gb ram, nvidia 1650ti 6gb, 512gb pcie nvme ssd and a Metabox Alpha X NH58RC (essentially the same specs but does allow me to upgrade the 120hz monitor, upgraded bluetooth/wifi and purchase 3 year warranty for total $200 extra).
Both come to $1500, with the metabox at $1700 with those mentioned upgrades.
So far pro's for the metabox are
* Removable battery
* mentioned upgrades
Cons
- looks less of a nice design compared to lenovo y7000
- total ends up being more (including shipping)
Lenovo Pros
- slightly cheaper
- sleeker design
Cons
- built in battery
- reviews say there can be fan noise at idle whereas the metabox can be quieter in low level use.
Any thoughts/suggestions?
If you really need the upgrades go for the Metabox. Otherwise the Lenovo is a great deal.
