Hi Everyone, long lurker of the site mostly interested in articles here. Ive been a PC gamer since the early 90s (man that makes me feel like a dinosaur) and always used desktop self custom built computers.
Im wanting to be able to game from the couch and want to buy my 1st gaming laptop. The most i want to spend is around $2000 usd with taxes in mind. I may could be persuaded through a couple hundred more at it but prefer 2k or under.
My current PCs specs is an i5-6600k (not overclocked), 16gb ram, 128gb very old SSD, around 12TB of storage on 3 HDDs, and 1050ti. Display for the past 10 years or so has been a 50in 1080p TV and now a 70in 1080p TV
I would like the laptop to beat the snot out of that rig for gaming. Laptop requirements: More than 1TB of HDD storage isnt needed and 256gb or 512gb SSD should be ok. 16gb of ram should be fine. Battery life is irrelevant. Ive never played on any system ever that exceeded 1080p resolution or 60fps. Practically EVERY gaming laptop ive looked at so far offers a 1080p 144hz display some with gsync, some without gsync. A few with higher refresh rates. 1440p resolution seems extremely rare and 4k displays lack high refresh rates. There are also 15in and 17in systems to choose from.
Im not very up to date on laptop processors but i figure an 8th or 9th gen i7. I am something of an AMD ryzen fan but they appear very rare from my searches and Ive found nothing higher than i think an RX580 gpu.
I "think" id prefer a 17in model with atleast a rtx2070. I care absolutley nothing about how the laptop looks. LEDs, other lighting, chassis shape are at zero priority.
With all that in mind and my searches i think i like the HP Omen 17in. Its 17in 1080p 144hz gsync system with an i7-9750, 16gb ram, rtx2070. Link below
My searches dont show many reviews at all for it but it looks to fit my criteria and is right at $1630
Im interested in remarks on that system and if anyone has better suggestions.
