Hi all

So I've decided to replace my aging Dell inspiron 7559 (i7 6700HQ, 16GB ram, GTX960M)

I am currently torn between two machines. One here at PC Specialists and one from Another manufacturer

144hz 15" Screen
AMD 4800H
16GB 3200mhz Ram
RTX 2060
1TB M.2 NVME SSD

The CPU has been outperforming Intels I7 10750H which has blown every intel consideration out of my lists.

And here is the one from PC Specialists. (NOVA)

I dont know if anyone is able to answer this, I know the Nova is using the desktop CPU, is the same to be said from the GPU? (I assume it's a laptop variant currently)

Any help here would be amazing!

Nova build is £140 more expensive (dont mind this as desktop components are cool)

Yeah I had the same decision whether to take the ASUS TUF A15 or the Nova from PCS.

It basically comes down to what you want to use it for. The ASUS is more portable and has better battery life but the Nova has the ability to take a 2070 GPU and upgrade its CPU. There isnt really enough information out there about thermal and screen quality at this time either.
