What do you guys think about this laptop? http://www.lazada.com.ph/asus-fx550iu-dm064t-156-amd-fx9830p-4gb-windows-10-laptop-withfree-asus-laptop-bag-32054069.html?ff=1&sc=EZ0r

I don't game very much anymore and what I play is mostly older or Indie, so the polaris 11 is enough for me. On the other hand the Blu-Ray drive is something I was looking for because I have many movies on that format (among them the whole Marvel Cinematic Universe)

Should I wait for Raven Ridge aka Ryzen mobile or take this one? I know RR will have much more CPU power, but honestly I don't need it, and it's already better than my old PC I have (Athlon X4 620 @2.5 Ghz and Radeon HD 5770)

I think you have already made up your mind. ;)

To be honest. Even if it is more than you need, the FX is not a good buy in 2017... A Core i3 would probably provide a better experience overall.
Otherwise the system isn't going to have much in the way of longevity.

With that, the GPU seems to be a desktop variant, so it's not going to be the most energy efficient, but should be a decent performer.
At 1080P (Native display res) it will struggle in some games.

Sadly, the RGB craze is still going on, this time with a gamepad... and a radiator!

To be honest. I don't mind it on the controller, it's not in-your-face merry-bloody-christmas.

The Radiatior? Kill it with fire.
