    Hi all!

    My asus G53sw died this week after almos 7 years of loyal service [​IMG]
    I am looking for a good laptop in a similar way. I will use it for 3d modeling (Revit), Some image design and not too heavy gaming (LoL CS and some ocasional game).

    These are my options. They are very similar to each other, I have read many reviews about them, and some comments about your point of view will be really helpful:

    Acer VX5
    -I7 7700HQ
    -8gb RAM
    -GTX1050 (4gB)
    -Display TN (1920x1080)
    -512gB SSD (space for a HDD)


    HP Omen 15
    -I7 7700HQ
    -8gb RAM
    -GTX1050 (2gB)
    -Display IPS (1920x1080)
    -1tB HDD (space for a SSD)


    Lenovo Y520
    -I7 7700HQ
    -8gb RAM
    -GTX1050 (4gB)
    -Display IPS (1920x1080)
    -1tB HDD (space for a SSD)


    Omen has a superprice, but GTX1050 with only 2gB worries me. Appart from that i had bad experiences with an HP in the past

    Acer is great, but the TN display can be bad. Anyway I will use it 90% time at my home, so I could buy a 22" screen

    Thank you for your comments
