Gaming Laptop Recommendation

[animemeup]

Hello fellow HWZ peeps!

I am looking to replace my laptop of 6years to one that can handle AAA games in decent graphics. This laptop will also be used for coding and photoshop/illustrator purposes.

Currently, i have shortlisted Aftershock SM-15 as a potential buy due to the price and specs that they offered. However, i heard that it is possible to get laptops with those specs at a way cheaper price.

<---- Specs that I'm looking at ---->
CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-6700HQ Processor (Quad Core 6th Gen)
Graphics Card: NVIDIA Geforce GTX 965M 2GB GDDR5 Graphics
RAM: 16GB DDR3L 1600MHZ (8x2)
M.2 SSD Bay: 250GB Samsung EVO 850 M.2 SSD
Hard drive: 1TB 7200RPM HGST HDD
OS: Windows 10 Home

Total Dmg: $1887
<--------------------------------------->

My budget is around $2k and if you peeps have any better recommendation feel free to let me know

Cheers~!

I thought this is pretty cheap. Can simply buy your own M.2 to plug in. MSI usually has 1 year international warranty.

unless you go US and buy, the shipping fee is not really making sense.

I think it might be more expensive if i were to buy an extra 4-8gb of RAM and M.2, considering the the shipping fees and maybe the currency change. (unsure about this)

However, i would look for similar models to see if any local shops offer it Thanks bro!

Think there aren't many good models on Amazon now. I bought mine during Christmas last year. Tons to choose from, and even with shipping, still S$300-500 cheaper than similar models in SG.
