I haven’t posted my progress for a couple of months cause there hasn’t been any.
As I’ve mentioned before, I am stuck with a potato laptop and gaming is almost out of the question.
I intend to buy a new one though. I think it’s powerful enough for me but I would like to know what you think
I am talking about HP Omen 17-w100nv (Intel Core i7 6700HQ - 16GB RAM - 2TB HDD + 128GB SSD - NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1060 6GB VGA - Windows 10 Home)
Not interested in anything above 1920x1080 so screen is ok. HDD is a bit slow (5400rpm) but I guess I can live with it. I almost never play more than one game at a given time so the SSD is not too bad.
Price is 1700 euros. I don’t think I can buy anything better for that amount of money
What do you think?

If you are happy with it go for it. :)
I don’t buy gaming laptops so my input on this will be very limited :)
Maybe others can offer some more insight.

Not into laptops as well, but I have no other choice :)

That’s actually the same gaming laptop I have picked out! I’m hoping to be able to buy it either this Christmas or the next.
It’s pretty hard to get information on gaming laptops because the vast majority of people just use desktops, but based on my research it hits the ‘sweet spot’ of everything I look for in a computer. It can run modern AAA games with ease, and it’s not monstrously huge or too loud. It doesn’t look ugly, and while you can’t really use it as a notebook at a cafe or something it will hold up to the trip between home and work just fine.
That’s just my research though. If you go for it, please post here how you feel about it!

As it stands now, I have a HP probook from, like, 2013 or so. I mostly try to stick to 2D or 3D indie games (the Vanishing of Ethan Carter was the best I could get it to run, on the lowest of settings).

I will most probably buy it, so you will hear from me in a couple of weeks. Thank you for your answer
