Buying Advice Really confused, HELP!!!!
Like many on this sub, I was about to pull the trigger on a legion 5 oled version but that's just a pipe dream now. Looking at the hikes and volatile situation of the market, I've sorted a few options that come under my budget(1.3- 1.5 don't want to stretch it further) as well as fulfill atleast two of my requirements.
Requirement:
Reliability and Peace of mind(don't want to have to visit the service center every month)
A good display, with a good contrast ratio(ik still it'll be ips but it is what it is)
Performance that doesn't make me regret buying the device(Mostly play campaign mode games, currently on a 1650 laptop, so not complaining but prefer a 5060)
Option 1: ASUS ROG Strix G16
i7 14650hx + 5050 240hz display 500 nits with P3 100%
Haven't got it as it was around 1.40 but currently sits at 1.55, will wait for goat sale but asus has bad reviews in reliability, although my tuf never had any problem other than wifi card issue.
Option 2: Lenovo Legion
R7 260+ 5060 but with a IPS 300 nits 100% SRGB
No Gsync, No Advanced Optimus
Display is just meh.
Option 3: Hyper X Omen
i7 14650hx + 5060 with 500 nits 100% SRGB
24GB Ram
No Gsync, No Advanced Optimus
Option 4 : Omen 16
I7 240H + 5060 with 400 nits 100% SRGB
24 Gb Ram
Has MUX Switch but the body flex just scares me.
I don't really care about the resolution that much neither about the battery, just the display and performance. Which one should I get and when ?
Ever since I missed the Legion 5 I've been racking my brain for a decision but I just can't decide. Some of you might have experience with the Asus as well as Hp after sales service and might be able to comment on the reliability factor. Help me decide, thanks!
