Hi everyone.
I was needed something to take with me so i ordered one from here. This is my first performance Laptop. I have built my own desktops as long as i can remember and with big custom watercooling to take care of the heat and i have always used Intel bec. they WAS the best and most reliable for a long time. I also chose Intel last time for the most part. i was more familiar with them.
I ordered the Recoil 15 with Intel but it´s backorder at least until 30 October and have time to read little here in the forum. I gonna use it most for 3D Cad most also some gaming like Ghost Recon, Sniper Contract and so on.
I'm not a branding guy who has to use Intel so I'm asking you honestly if I chose the wrong cpu? I still have time to change. I think mostly of heat problems but also of course performance and reliability.
You are the experts than it comes to laptops so i can really need some advise. Sorry for the language in the spec. but you probably understand the most important thing anyway:)

Thanks in advance.

Please stick to one thread for checking spec as then we can see what advice you have received before.

Also please can you let us know your budget now - has it changed at all?

Sorry about that BHUNA50 i had completely forgot that thread. But i have already decide which laptop. Now i´am just unsure which cpu is the best choice of Intel or AMD in the recoil 15. The budget is about 3-3500 euro.

The other is no longer relevant, it is this spec above that I have ordered. But the Intel chassis is backorder so I have the opportunity to change to AMD if it is better from a heat and performance point of view.

OK - its just I would have looked at changing one of the drives too if possible and having a tweak about for you but if youve ordered - no worries.

What do you think of cpu? Intel or AMD, pros and cons. And of course if you find something else in the specification you might have changed if you ordered the laptop.
