New gaming laptop

[SPC (Ret) L. Masters]

So atm, since my gaming laptop gave up on me
I need a new one, although i need suggestions
Currently ive got my eyes on three laptops

One: MSI laptop with GTX 1060, i7, 125 gb ssd and 1tb hdd
Two: msi laptop, 1650 max-q, 250 gb ssd and 1 tb hdd
Three: 1070, i7, 250 ssd and 1 tb hdd

Although it takes a while before i can get the third one, whilst i can get the other two prolly in a few weeks already, what would be better?

I would avoid the first one personally. The second one doesn't sound horrible if you know how to manage your expectations, if I am correct in assuming it will perform similarly to a 1060. The 1070 with an i7 is the better long-term investment. Have you considered looking into sites that offer selling it to you on loan? I will end up paying just under 200 dollars extra on my computer, but the convenience of buying a computer for 200 dollars down payment and at 80 dollars a month for the rest was worth the interest IMO. Just make sure you have a stable income that won't fluctuate as much as mine does if you do consider it.

Damn, I've never thought about that. I will check that out. And gotcha I will scratch the first option!

I second this notion. Save half of it, put it away, then grab it and finance the rest. My new desktop I was able to get immediately knowing I had half of it already and paid like 60 bucks a month, then paid it off early. You get the computer quicker and if you know what you're looking for, you can get a better computer as well.
