How to select a gaming notebook featuring an RTX 4090?
Hello,
I’m looking to purchase a 17-inch gaming laptop that offers good performance, portability, and ideally comes with an RTX 4090. I have a few options in mind:
One is [link1] – it’s newer, has higher screen resolution and a 16x10 aspect ratio, and should provide better overall performance due to its processor and faster DDR memory.
The other is [link2] – it features a metal design, which I find appealing, along with improved cooling and quieter operation.
What do you think? The ASUS model is an older one, so I’m considering a newer device soon. However, if the metal build is confirmed, the durability and flexibility are definitely advantages.
Appreciate any suggestions! If you have other recommendations, I’d really value them.
As much as the MSI laptop is enticing in terms of specs, the only thing holding me back is the mention of Intel. That would lead me to go with the Asus route. It's not just the mention of durability, after Intel's recent way of handling it's issue with processor degradation, how they kept it under the rug while people were complaining right, left and center and how stop gaps are coming thick and fast for said processers, I'd steer clear of Intel.
You could still get the MSI laptop. If there's an option to return the laptop in case there's any issues with it, I'd return it and pick up the next best thing which would be the MSI laptop if it's available on their site.
