Hey guys, I'm clueless when it comes to gaming computers but I decided to get one for med school. I'll be using it for classes/ notes (along with an iPad) plus the occasional game (I'm mostly waiting for Cyberpunk 2077 next year).
That being said, which of these sounds like the better choice?
The new Helios Predator 300:
9th Generation Intel Core i7-9750h 6-Core Processor (Up to 4. 5GHz) with Windows 10 Home 64 Bit
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti graphics with 6GB of dedicated GDDR6 VRAM
15. 6" Full HD (1920 x 1080) widescreen LED-backlit IPS display (144Hz refresh rate, 3ms Overdrive response time, 300Nit Brightness & 72% NTSC)
16GB DDR4 2666MHz Memory (2 x 8GB), 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD (2 x PCIe M. 2 slots | 1 slot open for easy upgrades) & 1 - Available hard drive bay
Backlit keyboard | LAN: Killer Ethernet E2500 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN | wireless: Killer DoubleShot Pro Wireless-AC 1550 802. 11AC | 4th gen All-Metal AeroBlade 3D fan
or the new HP omen 15
Intel Core i7-9750H Processor 2.6GHz
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6GB GDDR6
16GB DDR4-2666 RAM
512GB Solid State Drive
Microsoft Windows 10 Home
Multi-format Digital Media Card Reader
10/100/1000 Network
2x2 Realtek WiFi 6+Bluetooth 5.0 Combo
15.6" Full HD 144Hz IPS Anti-Glare Micro-Edge WLED-backlit Display
They're both the same price. I'm a little worried about the Omen because it apparently has some thermal/heat issues

Dropping $1k+ on a laptop? Just get a desktop brah.
But to answer your question, they're both similar and will probably run cp2077 within ~10 frames of each other if you were to compare the two. If they're the same price, the Omen with the 2060 and a bigger ssd is a better value imo, but I can't comment on the heat issues for these so I really don't know.
But idk man, I'm not really a fan of gaming laptops. I've seen others on the misc say they like theirs, but I've never found one that I've liked. Desktop for games + work laptop is the combo I'd recommend, but if you're on that poverty student life, I'd pick the one that is better for taking notes in class and easier to carry, not on the performance you get in games because there won't be much of a difference from these two. Just from the pics I've seen, the omen looks bulkier and heavier than the helios so maybe the helios is better for you?FL IS THE GOAT STATE CREW

I'd expect the FPS element to be one of the weaker parts of the game, although CDPR might nail that as well. But guarantee that the characters, story, and everything else will shine hard af
I'm personally much more into futuristic shooter-type games than I am medieval environments, so CDPR doing one is exciting even if just for that reason

Basically, and the fact that CDPR transitioned the Witcher 3 team to Cyberpunk so that bodes well. And that they've been working on this game for six years or something crazy
Looks like CDPR has the media train chugging along now:
https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/cy...reenshots.html
"CD Projekt Red announced close collaboration with Nvidia for the PC version of Cyberpunk 2077. For the Geforce RTX team a nice moment to create some momentum for a raytracing showcase. We have the first screenshots of Cyberpunk 2077 with raytracing active on Geforce RTX graphics cards."
Look at these fukn screenshots, though you guys might have already seen 'em (most aren't even good resolution, can't find the big versions)
Spoiler!
