Yuri Lowell commented on Help Choosing a Laptop (Instore Credit at Harvey Norman)
Don't compromise on the screen. $200 well and truly justifies the OLED screen but you can probably get cheaper alternatives which still…

50% is the best case scenario too. Commonly only 10-20% faster which at 30-40fps is almost indistinguishable.
