Hello,
I am not a native English speaker so I hope you will forgive my mistakes, I would like your advice on which to choose between these two configurations for a gaming-only laptop. Does the OCTANE model (with g-sync technology and the Desktop CPU) worth the higher price compared to RECOIL?

For general gaming, not really on the basis of the desktop CPUs.

If a 15.6" chassis would be okay then the Vortex has gsync

I've always had 17.3 '' laptops and I won't be comfortable with smaller displays. I play mostly strategic games (Total War) and some Battelfield-type FPSs
