    Hey guys,

    I actually have a 15r3 ---> 6700hq, 1070, 16go, 120hz that i could send back until monday 16
    I have Micron memory

    Would you in my case keep it, or take a 13r3 with new 7700hq, 1060, 16go, QHD oled.

    I'm first programming on it, and then need a transportable laptop this is why i can't get a 17
    And then i'm playing on it, to any kind of games, from sims, to bf1...

    If i'm talking about the 13r3, it's because i could get it at the same price i had my 15r3

    Thank you

    Would take OLED, GTX 1060, and portable over the GTX 1070 AW 15 any day of the week. The AW 15 has a profile almost the size of a 17" notebook.

    Problem is you won't be able to go back to a normal screen after OLED ;)

    13" is absolutely tiny, you will notice a massive difference if you're used to the 15

    I am running into this same issue myself. To be honest I use my laptop for on the go gaming and LAN parties here and there.
