Hi Sifus. Planning to get a new laptop.

Budget: Based on the build I'm showing below. Cheaper is definitely better but I don't mind spending more for quality. Not sure if price has changed but I'm estimating 3-5k

Usage: Quite heavy on video editing. Also photo editing and casual gaming.

Requirement:
- CPU: At least i-7 8750H
- GPU: GTX1050 TI
- RAM: 16gb
- Display: IPS panel, at least 15 inches
- Storage: SSD for boot, HDD for storage
- OS: No OS if possible. Can buy my own and save a bit.

I'm currently looking at the Illegear Raven mainly because I can choose the specs that I want, but I am open to other brands which can provide these specs with a good deal.

Thanks in advance sifus! notworthy.gif

Put aside brand and specs, you should look at build quality and cooling when choosing gaming/performance laptop

Any preference on weight and battery life? Fine with low sRGB display?

Hi.

Definitely cooling is a must because lots of video rendering and partial gaming. Therefore I don't mind it being bulky or heavy.

Weight and battery life is not an issue. Don't mind it being bulky/heavy and will need to always plug in power during editing/gaming.

A high sRGB display is always good. Might invest in a good monitor in the future tho.

Thanks.
