Hey I'm about to buy a new laptop.
I have two options:
A Dell with an i5-8350H and a GTX1050 TI 4gb.
Or an HP with an i7-8750H and a GTX 1060 3gb.
Price is about the same, HP is 66 euro more.
Sure the HP offers better performance, specially GPU wise, but.. It's an HP, I'm afraid of its reliability? Statistically Dell is fine, average and generally good, but HP has the worst failures, badly built.
Would you go for the more reliably, bit cheaper and just a bit worse performance (I don't play that many games anyway..)
Or is it worth it to get the extra cores, extra performance but risk reliability?
My Lenovo just died with barely 3 years.. I expect the next to make it up to 5 years...
What I do:
Games: Wow, Dirt rally 2.0, and sometimes something like Witcher 3 a bit.
Revit, Photoshop and other architecture software.
