Need some advice regarding Laptop buying...

I surveyed and found this gem. It does have a little weaker CPU as compared to those of the same price of other brands. However, its the only one with RTX 2060 under 1L, and also gives me 16 gigs of RAM.

The other option comes out to be this and this (i was surveying locally so didn't see the discount on this originally)

I basically wanna ask, is it worth it to go for RTX 2060 and 16 gigs of RAM, for a slightly weaker CPU?[DOUBLEPOST=1602576781][/DOUBLEPOST]@asprin @PresidentEvil @AliB

My usage would mostly be mid to high range gaming, video and graphic editing, and coding.

I think you should go with RTX2060 Laptop. Ryzen 7 3750H is not a very weak processor, it can give you high performance, It's equivalent i5 9th Gen I guess with 4 cores and 8 threads.

I would just say this - if you're looking long term then invest more and get a powerful one. You won't regret it.

But if you plan on changing soon, then go for the cheaper option.

Agreed to LW. AMD has been awesome of late with their CPUs, I've been super impressed with R5 I bought for my cousin, better than my i5-8.

16 gigs of RAM will at least get your work for next 4 years. I'm planning an upgrade after my degree, similar budget maybe but won't focus much on gaming rather coding and designing.

The first one seems fit for me as for my current machine, (i5 8250u, 240gb SSD, 8 gig). I'm good to run Android Studio, VSCode, Visual Studio, Photoshop & Chrome, all at once.

Taking that into consideration, this Laptop must get you a good 3-4 years of work and 2-2.5 years of latest gaming imo.

Just a suggestion - Please skip intel now, AMD is much better value for money and performance wise. :)

Not looking for help just wanted to show off my first PC build without starting a new thread for it.

It is a new one for my Mum. Took it round hers this morning and she was very pleased cause it was about 10 times faster than the decade old one I'd passed on to her a few years ago.

Always wanted to try my hand at building one and it was a success (it was still working when I left). Wanted to see how I'd cope on a low cost PC before attempting to upgrade/build a new one for myself.

Can anyone point my to a nice easy video or provide nice easy instructions to set up a file sharing/small network between two PCs.

I want to be able to access files on one PC without having to transfer them across to the new one.
