There's no significant real-world difference between a 2.5" SSD and an NVME m.2 for gaming.
Am I to disbelieve all the reviews I have read regarding the increased speed of NVMe drives?There's no significant real-world difference between a 2.5" SSD and an NVME m.2 for gaming.
What is your budget, what size screen do you want, and what resolution do you want? Are you buying this week, or sometime in the future?
Apparently you are saying all the reviews I have read regarding NVMe drives are incorrect?
There's a big improvement in long, I/O intensive operations. Video editing, sure... gaming, eh.All the reviews I have read indicate a far greater improvement.
Even though the OP doesn't need an answer any longer, for others looking for a decent gaming laptop that isn't ridiculously blinged out, I just picked up one of these:

It's a solid, quality build, runs cool, fast, great display, RGB backlit keyboard that's completely customizable, looks like a regular laptop, and is a decent price for what you get. Never heard of these guys before so I took a chance but I'm very happy with the decision. If you go to their website there are plenty of options to choose from for each model as well.

I saw some review complaints about the keyboard prior to purchase, mostly that the keyboard was too squished or didn't use all of the available real-estate. I don[t find that to be the case at all. The keys feel like they are where they're supposed to be. If they were spread out further to the edge it would tend to cause some handling issues when lifting it to place it somewhere, at least for me.This looks like a great buy. How's the keyboard for typing?
