EarthDog Good luck upgrading in a couple of years and dropping another several grand!



The only drawback of laptops. :)

Upgrading in a couple of years? More like in 5 years at least. A 6c/12t CPU clocked at 4ghz across all cores will serve me for A LOT of years to come, most desktop PCs on the market don´t even have that much horse power.Also, not several grand, this Titan model by MSI is always the most expensive one. There are plenty 1000€-1500€ priced laptops with 6 core Coffee Lake and a GTX1060 or GTX1060 max-Q coming soon. Previously the mobile CPUs were too weak (7700hq only 3,4ghz all cores and quad core cpu) and the gap between desktop was huge. Not the case anymore. I don´t want to be stuck to my desk anymore, time to move on, and with the mining craze it just drove me away from buying expensive high-end GPUs to play console triple A ports. Is simply not worth it to me anymore.These new laptops will be plenty for me to connect them to my 240hz monitor and play the typical PC titles CS, Quake, Fortnite, Dota2, Ironsight, Indies/retro, etc. While being able to produce my music at any place with the beefy 12 threads and headphones.
