Gaming Laptop at 60k or lower (P.S. Buy now or wait for skylake?)

  • Im planning to buy ROG 501 or any of its competitors ex. HP Omen, Acer V nitro 15 (if ever they are at the same price) or the new Asus K501, biggest question though now that Skylake is just around the corner would it be better if i wait or just buy the ROG 501? and any alternatives? it doesn\'t necessarily have to be a dedicated gaming laptop even a powerful one would suffice say like the Asus K501 with its GTX gpu.:)), one more thing the rog 501 has the 1080p and 4k display versions, is the 4k available in our country.:)), Thanks all.:))

  • acer v15 nitro is below 50k with i7 4720m and gtx 960 m ..
  • Lenovo y50 kaso 48hz lang daw un eh.. Kung hindi mo panaman need eh antayin mo na ung skylake laptop..actually meron na ang asus skylake rog series with 965m kaso 70k starting price.. Check mo sa benStore
  • buy mo n ung rog.. no need to wait...
    kung may pera ka na at may avail na rog naman go for it na...
  • Wait for Skylake sa opinion ko. Sa 60k na pera na gagastusin mo, mas satisfied kung latest ang makukuha mo. I would say buy now kung mga 40k ang budget mo. 4th gen is 2 generations behind kaya hindi ko recommended. At least 5th gen 5700HQ pwede pa.
  • Thank you for this post.
