please read the link above to get the full idea of what i am trying to do![icon_rolleyes.gif]()
I game on my laptop now but its really frustrating to game with all settings set on low, and even then, it will lag a bit sometimes. When across from me, my SO games on Acer Predator Helios 500 with all settings on High and no lag at all.
I watched LTT’s youtube video and thought it would be a good idea to have a minimalist set up like this and decided to go for it.

So I sold my desktop and all it’s peripherals except the mouses for $2,000 and I’m contemplating on changing my laptop to a more gamer centric one. Albeit low-key gamer centric, enough to play League of Legends on high settings but design-wise, discrete enough that I could use it at the office.
I was initially looking at the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 but it does not come with Thunderbolt 3 port.

I did find a local alternative but I’m not sure its worth it. https://store.illegear.com/onyx-series/207-...r-onyx-pro.html This came with the same specs as the Aorus 15G WB at $8,450. I'm not opting Razer because they dont have after sales service here and to source one here is hard, plus at most. local resellers are giving 6 months warranty which is not worth in. IMHO, for the same specs they are overpriced. pretty but overpriced.
So what do you guys think for a laptop?
My requirements are
- has thunderbolt 3 port
- <2.5kg, better if its lighter than that
- screen 14 inch but i can adopt 15.6 inch laptops
- GPU 2060 or 2070. considering the 2070 is now occupying the 2060 price range and 2060 occupying the 1660TI price range.
side note, i only play league of legends and not FPS so i think a 100hz screen should be good. am i right?
