    Hell Everyone,

    I am struggling with a conundrum on which I was hoping I could get your guys' thoughts. Im trying to decide between three laptops, the p950hp6, p650rg and the PA71hp6. The p950hp6 cost £50 more than the PA71hp6 for the same specs (120hz screen, 8gb ram, 7700hq, etc), while the the p650rg is £90 cheaper than the PA71hp6 but has 8gigs more ram a 60hz screen and, of course, it has the 6700hq.

    I use my laptop mostly for work with the occasional gaming session. I quite like the larger screen for work (programing and writing mainly) but at the same time I do value portability as I move my computer out of the house at least once a day (in a backpack usually) and occasionally go to conferences.

    I'm new to the world of clevo and I'm so happy to discover this forum! What I'd like to know, especially from those with experience, which one would you choose? Sure they are different machines, but is the PA71 portable enough that it's not a problem? Can the p950hp6 stay cool? Is it wise to get the p650rg given that its older, has a worse screen and only about 200g lighter then the PA71?

    Basically what I'm asking is this, given the few details I've given, and your own experience/preference, which machine would you choose and why? Is there any beginners error I am making?

    Thanks! Any help would be enormously appreciated.

    Best
