Is a better graphics card worth the loss of SSD and .2 GHz of processing power?

You can always replace the drive later, it's easier to start with the better GPU, and no the 200Mhz is not important at all when comparing a 1050 to a 1060.

Yes.

fucking GO FOR THE SSD AND 0.2GHZ AND SELL THE GPU CHIP BECAUSE YOU DONT NEED IT IN A LAPTOP.

6700 and 7700 are same, if the clock are same. Only difference would be some intel only ssd drive port.
128GB ssd is worth about $50

I'm the first reply. Listen up and read.
I know it's a laptop, you said so,
Both GPU and hard drives are replaceable in a laptop, but I said it's considerably easier to go with the better GPU (sans an unnoticeable drop in CPU power) than the better drive. You can swap a drive out in seconds. I don't know if the laptops you are looking at have easily swappable GPU cards. Sometimes it's a simple card-slot swap, some times you have to remove the case to get to the card, but you're probably not in the budget range to change anything yet and mobile GPUs are horrendously overpriced.
So,
If you're gonna game on the thing, just go for the one with a 1060. Plan to upgrade to an SSD later, or better yet remove the disc drive and pop an SSD in later so you can have both a fast OS drive with the SSD and cheap storage with the HDD.

Dude I have a similar configuration to the 1050 one, only with 16 gbs ram. I use it for computer vision on a car so I couldnt go with a desktop solution but the game that Ive been playing on ti (forza horizon3) runs fuckin sweet, overall 120 fps and shit. It's a 17 inches laptop tho so it's quite heavy.

Your buying something that sucks as a laptop and for gaming or productivity.

>Shit battery life

You will look autistic playing games on this shit in public.
People will assume your a man child from your laptop.
