Nvidia's introduction of the GTX 1050 Ti leaves the GTX 1060 gaming laptops in a bit of a no-man's land. The differences between the two mobile GPUs aren't exactly huge considering the price differences, and may not be worth the upgrade for more casual us...

Pantalla con demasiado marco, El diseño no convence, aunque eso va a gustos
Nada que decir respecto al rendimiento: dentro de lo que cabe esperar de un equipo con Core i7 Kaby Lake y una GPU GTX 1060 de NVIDIA. La potencia está, pues, muy presente en esta máquina. El hardware que incorpora está muy bien compensado, y aunque no ti...
