Hi all, 

I am looking to replace my aging Toshiba Satellite laptop as it is getting slow and likes to freeze up etc, its 5 years old so I think that could be much of the problem.

I do not know heaps about laptop performance specs but do know a little, when playing with many of the filters on the PB Tech website to get something powerful under $2000 it gave me two options (yes i filtered so much I was left with two options lol)

The Gigabyte Sabre - https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/NBKGBM155702/Gigabyte-Sabre15-GTX1050-Superior-Gaming-Laptop-15

and the HP Omen - https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/NBKHNB3675837/HP-Omen-15-CE040TX-GTX1050-Superior-Gaming-Laptop

As you would see the Gigabyte Sabre is approx the same power as the HP (I think), so I was wondering why the massive price difference between the two and also why the Gigabyte seems so cheap? I have never herd of Gigabyte, perhaps its a terrible brand to be that cheap?

Alternatively, if anyone can send me a link to a better deal on a powerful laptop (I know "powerful" is a broad statement and can be taken in different ways but I do not know how to describe it) that would be much appreciated.

Or even a check list on what I should be looking for in a new laptop, such as minimum processor power and type and how much RAM etc.

Thanks!
