Hi, i was thinking in buying a gaming laptop, so i was wondering if it is worth it to pay more for a 1060 6gb or will a 1060 3gb be good enough? I will be mainly playing Battlefield 1, PUBG and Rocket League.
Thanks!

1060 3gb will be good enough, but the 1060 6gb is ultimately a much better card if you're willing to pay for it. 3gb of VRAM is pretty low and honestly the bare minimum for today's gaming, so while I do think it is good enough it's still recommended to get a 1060 6gb.

Throw whatever laptops you're looking at in here, it would be better if we could see full specs on both of the laptops instead of just whatever GPU they're running.

I was looking this ones:

-https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IO9YB8K?ref=emc_b_5_i

Yet i just found this one for a good price and i might go for it, what do you think? https://www.amazon.com/GL502VM-G-SYNC-Gaming-Laptop-i7-7700HQ/dp/B01MS14CQH/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1508734116&sr=8-8&keywords=asus+1060+6gb

That ROG Strix is a pretty good deal, and I would definitely take that one over the other two, since it has the 7700HQ and the 1060 6gb. 128gb on the SSD is a little low, but it's better than none. If you plan on putting lots of games onto an SSD, you might want to consider the MSI with the 1060 6gb, since the difference between the 6700HQ and the 7700HQ will be pretty minimal.

Go with the ROG Strix you came across. ASUS is my preference to MSI when it comes to gaming notebooks. ASUS usually provides an overall better build quality with better cooling which is crucial for gaming laptops.
