How long will a HP Omen 17-an180no last?

Yes I understand that and thats why I wonder: How long whould it take before the games is so far ahead from my computer that I can't reach 60+ FPS at at least normal quality in the newer games? I mean, I don't want to buy a computer that is really good now but in two years can't run anything at decent quality!

Then let's take a look at history again. I know folk that game with 700 series games but have to set the current game to lowest settings. When did those come out?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_700_series pushes that to about 2013.

While I consider this to be missing out on all the fun it does give us insight that the games may be playable for about 5 years.

Is that what you were looking for?

Thanks!
That was exactly what I was looking for! Around five years, thats really good! Thanks again!

Hello Kaspian,

I am also planning to buy exactly the same specs gaming laptop because there is a very good offer for it where I live till the end of the month!

I do a lot of research before buying for similar reasons.
My current laptop (4.5 years old) has a gtx765m GPU and a 4700mq CPU.

My main concern was if I should buy a 1070 instead of 1060 in order to last longer (and be more VR ready). But with the current offer that I can find this laptop, it is a no-brainer!

At first for 1080p 1060 is more than enough and will certainly last for 3-4 more years.
Secondly you get a 6 core i7 CPU which is almost as powerful as 6700K desktop CPU!

This is huge for a laptop. In my desktop I have this cpu so I know!
I am doing game development so I need a fast laptop, but I do not want to pay more for no real reason (i.e. laptop with 1070 is more than 2000 euros) and I do not want to get one with i7 7700HQ because the new CPU much better (in theory).

Check also this comparison between (1060 6GB and 1070 mobile):
http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1070-Mobile-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1060-6GB/m164129vs3639
where you can see that 1060 is more than enough for today's games! And it is not worth it to spend 400+ euros more for a 1070 today (if you are on a tight budget I mean)

Take also into consideration that newer games will use more and more the CPU's capabilities (multi-threading) so after all the above I a telling you that
if you have a good offer, just go for it!
It will certainly last 3-4 years.
3-4 years is also my goal when I buy (or assemble) desktop or laptop.

I hope that I helped!

I have one of the Acer Predators with i7, 1060 GPU and it's very nice.

Wow! What a detailed and useful answer! I did buy it for around $1100 and it works great! I’m also doing some game development (on a amateur level but still) and the 6 cores are great for rendering lightning and AI paths. For anyone wondering if they should buy this computer the answer is definitely yes! (If you have a good price of course!) It does not manage to get 120fps (which is what the monitor can display) in all heavy games but that’s a cou bottleneck so you might want to overclock it a bit, since it’s actually possible! Thanks again!
