Lenovo Y 520 laptop with gtx 1060 gpu

hi guys

http://store.illegear.com/s-series/154-illegear-s5x.html

is the upgrade from 1060 to 1070 Max Q worth it? difference of RM1300

not much knowledge on max q but heard it runs at lower clock speed and also less power used thus less heat produced

not worth it..

not worth it..

Take alienware 13 better

the rm6299 one?

i glanced through it...rm400 cheaper...but smaller screen and heavier by 500+ grams

rm6999 can get alienware 15 wif gtx 1060 de

But better build quality n warranty

Looking for recommendations:

Budget: around 1-1.5 k
Preferred brand : none actually, as long it's good
Usage: for 12yo ( school work + watch movie)
screen size: 14 or 15

Thank you

THIS.

Value is extremely relative, IMHO, and unfortunately only you can say if the nearly 1k "upgrade" to an underclocked 1070 is "worth it". BUT, what you decide to get is ALL YOU'RE GONNA GET... considering the S5X has a soldered GPU AND no TB3 port.

That said, if mobility isn't important to you, then the "normal" S5 non-X + full non-maxQ 1070 is arguably the better choice. It isn't really THAT much bigger (or pricer) then the S5X and yet clocks a solid 20-40% faster graphics performance.

Similarly, the Laguna, when specced with the 1070.

Or y'know, the Alien 15 with the same card... though Aliens have become quite huge ass bulky this last few gens IMHO, you really can't fault Dell's warranty options and implementation. They're still UNDISPUTEDLY the best in the warranty game, especially when you go full Premium.

TBH though, you guys who haven't already really need some actual physical face time with the S5X/Clevo P950. It's no Aero 15X, but it's STILL the FIRST Clevo that doesn't actually FEEL like a Clevo, at least to me... and that says a lot.

You did indicate maxq lower clock speed lower heat lower consumption and you clearly asking it as advantage and worth 1300 or not .
Nope . Any gpu will do the same . No point buying maxq . It is just a rebrand of old m gpu .

I only mentioned about the clock and heat becoz thats what i knew only and not sure if there are anythg more to justify the rm1300 difference...jeez

Yeah ive kinda made up my mind now...likely going for the 7577 for the price and warranty...6k on lazada with a rm200 coupon

To be fair, you should know that the 1060 on the 7577 is a MaxQ unit too, not a "full" 1060. It's of course faster than the 1050ti but it still loses (by a hair, not much TBH) to the "full" 1060.

But otherwise, the 7577 is a good unit (if not a bit heavy in my books) . Missing a subwoofer vs the outgoing model but the old sub wasn't all that great anyway (and in its place is a bigger battery, hurrah). The best (probably most well known) improvement would be that the 7577's IPS screen is better then the old one's crappy TN (not to say there aren't good TN units, but the old Inspiron 7567 screen was a special kind of crappy).

Also, beware of non-authorised Dell sellers on Lazada (or anywhere else that isn't a Dell dealer or the actual Dell site). They might be selling outlet units or worse, refurbished.

shirogawawa Please elaborate in regards to Dell warranty for purchases through non-authorised sales channels?

If it's a authorised dealer then no problem ler.
