Hi guys, it's my first post but I've been surfing PG for a lot of time in the past.
I need some recommendation regarding which laptop should I go for, that's at least 3-4 years future proof in terms of fps gaming (medium-high settings) and less prone to thermal throttling.

I've narrowed it down to two laptops that are available in Pak:

1. Lenovo Legion 5 - Ryzen 4800H - GTX 1660Ti - 32GB Ram - 1TB HDD + 512GB SSD - 144Hz Display (225k at CZone)
2. Acer Predator Helios 300 - i7 10750H - RTX 2060 - 16GB Ram - 1TB HDD + 256GB SSD - 144Hz Display (233k at TechGlobe)

Can you guys also let me know about post-sale support of both CZone and TechGlobe, how reliable they both are in after-sale support?

Thanks

Also looking for these same options plus Hp Omen 15 Ryzen 4800H and 1660ti. but, unfortunately, these products are quite expensive in Pakistan as compared to USA. So its better to find someone that could bring these for you from USA

Legion with same specs beats omen in almost every aspect that's why I was considering it. I'm thinking whether I should wait at least half a year for 3060 or go for 2060. 1660ti is out of option for me because it won't be as future proof as the 2060 because of dlss.

Sure better gpu is considered in all laptops
3060 surely bring a lot of video memory but trying to buy it from local market is gonna stretch the cost by atleast 50%(just for gpu jump) so its upto how much u have to spend...happy gaming!

Nvidia suggested price is $1k for 3060 laptop but we'll have to see what OEM decide but I believe it'll be close to 2060. If the predator had 115W 2060 then I would've surely bought it but it has the 80W 2060 (OC to 90W). Another thing is 3060ti is on par with 2000 series flagships that is imo huge. It's releasing after 2 days so probably we'll get real insights by next week.

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    " Both PS5 and Series X have an unlocked frame-rate here, with performance that generally lies between 30fps and 45fps. That makes for a stuttering and inconsistent output in general play, no matter what you are doing at any given time."

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
