Themken: Hello every hardware nerd out there! I have tried to help my friend find a suitable laptop for gaming. They have kind of decided on a customised one from PCSpecialist, this one: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/notebooks/proteusVIII-15/

I am getting tired here and may have missed something important so am asking some of you to please have a look over.
Specs as follow:

[snip - loads of PC specs]
i7 8-core 10xxx CPU; 16 GB RAM; RTX 2060 6GB; 1 TB SSD; 144hz monitor - that all should be good.

Though, I'd certainly try to get G-Sync (for the monitor), if you can.

G-Sync is an Adaptive sync method like V-Sync, but it's better - it destroys input lag, kills screen-tearing, and is great for high refresh rates to keep performance butter-smooth even if you take huge framerate hits. You'll, pretty much, never know it happened...unless you're staring at the frame-rate counter and checking to see if it took a nasty hit.

I'd expect most games at 1080p60fps at Medium-High settings for 6gb RTX 2060. That card likely won't get challenged, unless you find something very demanding, poorly coded/poorly ported, and/or combo of both (i.e. take a look at Horizon: Zero Dawn PC port right now).

Checked the link.

Yeah, looks like you have a Mini-Displayport type of port for external monitors.

I have that on my SC15 gaming laptop.

If you have a Mini-Displayport-to-Displayport cable (that's what I have) or adapter of sorts, you can connect a normal high refresh-rate external monitor via that method.

That shop only seemed to have two different panels, mediocre and worse, this was the better one.
