    Hey everyone!

    I'm looking for a new 15' work/gaming machine and thinking about fx503 with 1060 6gb+IPS panel. Can someone give some feedback regarding this particular model? I am interested mainly in build quality, battery life and temperatures. Also, maybe you could suggest another model? This one costs around 1050€ in ,y region.

    That is definitely a great model for the price point. I haven't heard of any "known" heat issues, but I typically always recommend a repaste to a better thermal grease. The IPS screen may have some "screen bleed" issues, but with IPS it is hard to avoid that.

    Within this Range, you could check out the ASUS STRIX HERO GL503GE-ES52 as well. Would be slighly lower at a 1050TI, although would have a 120Hz display.

    It would be within the range you are looking for and a great machine as well. I would recommend it.
