since i switched the panel from tn to ips i have bugs and crashes. doesnt have to be about the panel but im fed up with it.

just sent it back to amazon with the tn panel. money will be back within next few hours.

what now?

i came to the conclusion i dont really game anymore. i basically use my laptops for league of legends (which pretty much runs on my texas instruments) and for second screen netflix to my uhd tv.

should i maybe get a macbook? or should i try another gaming laptop?

i love when the fan is super silent. i also love ips panels, 60 fps in lol and no stuttering on netflix hd while using the laptop on mainscreen for random stuff like facebook.

what would you guys suggest?

budget +- 1500 monies

you can pretty much get any laptop with a good processor and dedicated graphics card(prob dont even necessarily need that but it'll help alot) and not have an issue doing what you want to do..

I'd advise against a mac personally and stick with a windows laptop for what you want.

I would look at some business type (workstation) laptops...like the Lenovo someone mentioned.
Dell has some nice ones as well.


Might wanna check these kind of laptops...

Check Dell XPS 15 or Asus Zenbook 3, UX550VE or UX430UN for some quality components.
Those "Gaming" laptops made of plastic with an horrible screens, everything have been saved on for those specs.

Dell XPS 15 9560 - 7700HQ, 16GB RAM, GTX 1050 and PCIE 512GB SSD. under 1300$ with the code.

Asus Zenbook 15 pro UX550VE - 7700HQ, 16GB RAM, GTX 1050ti and PCIE 512GB SSD, saw this for 1499$ on sale.

If you like something even thinner and lighter, laptops with just an mx940 or mx150 UX430UN should be looked at.
