I've got a clevo p170em 17' laptop that I use pretty much just at work. It's probably about 8 years old so I think it's time to upgrade. I've been thinking about it for a while but the current covid prices are just nuts.
Current specs are i7-3840qm, gtx680, 32gb ram. It's served me well but I'm looking around. Because I have other laptops I'm thinking of possibly having a desktop instead but is it worth it?
The techfast r5-3600 and 3070ti deal is good enough as an upgrade for the $2k budget, but are there any laptops that are as powerful for the same price? It seems they've not risen as much due to the miners.
Alternatively, does anyone recommend any system for $2k ish? I wouldn't mind a Radeon either but they don't seem to have any deals going or stock anywhere. Wanting to get before eofy if so otherwise should I just hold my current laptop and wait for prices to come down?
The techfast deal is one of the best around due to the GPU market at the time being. No idea what the future holds but I’m not waiting for a drop.
Laptops will never come close to performance of a desktop for the same price, especially with gaming.
However not sure if you have factored in a monitor to work with the new system. Given you’re on a GTX680 I can only assume your monitor is old AF. would be pointless spending money on a 3070Ti and not having a minimum 120hz monitor @ 1440p.
